I'm trying everything I can to land a career for myself and well, hey! Beyond is here! Maybe it can help (what can't Beyond do), so I'll take a stab at it.
----------
I am an Applied Energy Economics student at the UofC and I'm currently looking for a junior position in either Project Management and/or Project Controls.
This degree taught me a lot that can be fully utilized at the workplace such as cost-benefit analysis and economic modelling, to name a few. I have experience writing economic reports and gathering data for extensive statistical analysis, which can be demonstrated by various term papers I have written for my Energy Economics classes. My academic experience made me think out-of-the-box, have a creative mindset to solving problems, and showed me how the oil & gas industry works as a whole.
My former internship at a major Canadian Oil & Gas company gave me exposure to Project Controls, which is something that I truly want to become experienced at. Being a part of scheduling, cost forecasting, budgeting, estimation, etc. is something that truly interests me and the fact that I love budgeting for my personal life kicks it up a notch. Through my internship, I learned how to do requisitioning, invoicing, use SAP, and was exposed to the nitty-gritty of Project Controls. It was a brief exposure; a slight taste of what it takes to oversee and complete a project successfully, hence it's giving me the urge to learn more about it.
I have extensive IT experience from my current position as a student analyst for the UofC, providing me with the knowledge to fully utilize important tools such as Microsoft Office suite. This position helped me prioritize time management and how to handle strict deadlines; aspects that are key to effective Project Management.
In general, I'm well-spoken, adaptive at the workplace, approachable, a team player but able to work independently when needed, and willing to do field work if it means to further enhance my knowledge.
If there are any open positions available, PM me and I'll be more than happy to provide my resumé/CV.
Otherwise, thanks for taking the time reading this and have a pleasant tomorrow!
Cheers!
