Looking to play some hockey once or twice a week. To give you an idea of the level/calibre I'm looking for; I'm 23 and have played Minor Midget/Junior B in the past. I live in Spruce Cliff so...

Thanks for the info. Do you find the textbook helps? I downloaded a copy but the prof hasn't listed the relevant chapters/sections in the outline/syllabus so I'm not really sure where to start.

For those who have taken it, is CHEM 357 a tough course? It's organic chemistry for engineers.

I'm asking because I'm in it now and I haven't done shit in the class so far except learning the...

Did you interview at Conoco and Husky? If so PM me if you get an offer from either.

What he said. Also don't accept an offer and then screw them over by backing out. That's just classless.

Well if there's two guys applying for an engineering summer student field job after second year engineering, one worked at Canadian Tire the previous summer and one worked as a roughneck, all other...

I have an interview with Conoco next week for a similar position. Anyone have anything else to add?

Great reputation? With who? I've never even heard of Athabasca University let alone their business program.

Well that's encouraging. I was under the impression that it would be tough to find work from May-August with spring break up. I'll definitely check out some career fairs. Looks like there's one for...

Yeah I'm in the process of looking for summer work now. I'm applying for all the summer students positions with the producers but those are a long shot for me. Plan B is a labor job in the industry....

No I'm a first year ENGG major.

If you have a decent GPA, say 3.2+, why not list it? But I can see not listing your GPA if it's not particularly strong. As far as a major corporation coming to the conclusion that you're a douche...

Specifically for engineering. Those of you that are 3rd/4th year, what GPA do you list? Just straight up cumulative GPA or your major GPA?

Yeah it's called a curve dude. The grades are curved so that your mark represents your knowledge of the subject relative to that of your classmates and not relative to the difficulty of your random...

You don't have to work like a slave at all. You get 12 months during your degree of school free work time. That should come close to covering tuition. Especially in a place like Calgary where...

lol are you kidding me? Or you could just keep your own money and spend it on yourself. Rather than donating it to smokers and obese people milking the health care system and some kid that wants to...

double post...

I would not be in favor of fully subsidized tuition. All that would do is lure in people that would normally study a trade or do manual labour and make University even more of a 4 year party than it...

I met a couple at University station with a similar story. Stressed that they weren't homeless and had jobs yada yada. I said I didn't have any cash and they said they'd take debit, I laughed and...

The mid-day naps alone make it worth it ahaha

Does Trican typically take on university students from May through August?

Well that's not really true. There's a lot of commuter schools in Canada. I would say moving away is a lot more popular in the states. However I have commuted to school and lived on rez and I have to...

Yeah I'm first year engineering. Applied to a few producers already and got an interview with Apache, but I haven't heard back and it's been two weeks. I know some producers don't hire until January...

Okay makes sense, thanks for the explanation. So what would you recommend to someone who wants to get some experience in the oil industry as a summer job? I'm assuming there must be some rigs that...

Okay so it wouldn't be worth it for me to rip up to Nisku in March/April looking for a summer job? Where is all the work from May-August?

Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread but I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm in school now but hoping to get a rig job this summer. Do the service companies typically take on students for May...

Unfortunately I didn't get a business card from either of the guys interviewing me. I'll know better next time. Guess I'll just have to wait it out. I guess it makes sense that they wait until all...

I interviewed with Apache for an engineering summer student position last Wednesday. They said they would get back to me in a week, haven't heard back yet. Has anyone gotten an offer from Apache for...

Anyone ever work for Apache as a summer student/intern? I have interview with them in a couple weeks just curious if anyone has any past experiences with them. Never heard of them until I applied....

Well in that case who has an ENGG 201 roadmap? :thumbsup:. I'll be sure to keep all of my stuff for those interested in next years ENGG class.

Dude I haven't heard of a "road map" for a University course in my life. You could not be a dbag and just explain it.



Thanks but could you be a bit more specific aha.

the hell is a roadmap

So would you say companies willing to hire first year students are just basically giving everyone that applies a shot at an interview and hiring from there? Because like I said I don't know what else...

@SKR Sounds like you know your stuff. Thanks for the up to date list!

@Super_Geo I like finance too ;)

Okay yes I get the whole applying with the producers for internships and such but as I...

@ SKR my bad I was looking for a list of drilling companies not just service companies in general. Which is exactly what slinkie posted. Thanks a lot!

I'm no stranger to the power of Google. Just trying to collect as much info as I can. Some of the best info on Google is from forum threads yet posters love to tell you to just use google, funny how...

Go to khanacademy.org, go to the GMAT section, buy the book he uses. He has 41 videos working through 155 data sufficiency problems and 54 videos working through 249 problem solving questions from...

If someone could supply a list of service companies that operate out here in the western provinces that would be great.

I'm a first year engineering major at the University of Calgary, although I'm 21. I have zero connections out here as I am from the maritimes. The reason I came to the UofC is to study oil and gas...

@Withthelightson..how do I get my hands on those bad boys?
