What a quality afternoon/evening BP provided for us yesterday! They started with an hour long discussion presenting the company and showing what they have to offer (which in itself is very impressive) before taking about 25 of us to dinner at the local Marriot Hotel.
The talk was essentially an advert for working at BP, and a good one at that! It seems theres endless possibility to expand your knowledge through training courses (which BP pays for!), capacity to move both laterally and up the career ladder as you please. Opportunity to work across the world (Aberdeen, London, Houston, Anchorage, Moscow to name a few) and the pays not bad either. Its also an encouraging sign that the CEO of BP is infact a Geologist!
The after-presentation dinner was something of a luxury treat. The Marriot hotel in Tucson is exquisit and the food was quality. BP footed the bill for everything (including the drinks i had before the BP people arrived!) and it must of cost them over $1000. But whats that for the worlds 4th largest company with revenues in the $10's billion?
Getting an Internship in the USA is going to be difficult for us Brits, not only because there only offering 35 in total but because of VISA issues. However, the chap will forward my details to the relevent people in the UK - a nice little contact there me thinks!
So thats the low-down on my latest free dinner (the best yet). I dont think the other companies coming in are being quite so generous but ive got another free party on saturday with food to go to so im not complaining.
Anyway, g2g and find out about this Rugby squad!
