Question by soonerphi: Is it difficult to find a job with Energy Management?
I am a 2nd semester sophomore at the University of Oklahoma. My current overall GPA is a 2.98 right now but its about to go up after this semester(16 hours, making only 1 B).

I was wondering how difficult is it to get a job with this degree coming out of college? Do companies like Devon Energy, XTO, and Exxon Mobile look at your GPA hardcore or do they look strictly on experience?

GPA can be important if you have nothing else going on. You should do some projects or work and highlight this experience in your resume – They can be tied to the school and/or industry, but it should be related to skills you want to demonstrate.

The matter of GPA dissolves quickly when you have solid experience. You only put it on your resume, for example, if it’s something to brag about.

Get affiliated with some societies or other industry groups that align yourself with your career path. You can even ask to participate in a project, event, publication or poster that relates to that group or more broadly: the field.

Try to get some internships – Usually you start that during/after winter break to prepare for the coming summer.

Call and/or write letters to people in the field – You can network with family/friends/alumni/professors to help get you in touch with people.

Contact industry specific recruiters, and ask them for guidance – Be very polite, and persistant. Basically, you don’t make them any money today, but they can at least give you some names and/or ideas. It’s usually best if you can get referred to someone like this.

Go to career fairs; attend conferences, and get business cards. Build your network and follow up with people periodically.

Of course, the career counselors at your school should help, but don’t rely too heavily on them – they are usually their to guide you. You have to do the work.

Good luck!
