How To Start A Career In The Oil And Gas Industry:
What Employers Say

How to start your career, step by step
Fix up your resumé – take it to your career centre at your university and they’ll help you.
Write a compelling cover letter that speaks to your best qualities – save the pretentious language for your English papers.
Join a professional association and attend their events – if you feel uncomfortable attending alone, try volunteering at them. By having a job to do, it gives you an excuse to interact with the attendees, and an easy way to start up a conversation the next time you see them.
Do your research – I can’t stress this enough. I want students to apply to Talisman, not because we have open jobs, but because they actually have an interest in what we’re doing, and want to be a part of it.
Be confident, but stay humble – it’s important to communicate your abilities effectively, but it’s also important to be conscious of the phrase: “sense of entitlement.” This generation entering the workforce has already been branded with the word “entitlement,” so students will need to fight against this bias from the very beginning of any relationship with people in the industry – be aware that you will need to roll up your sleeves and work hard for the first couple years, and you will be rewarded in the end.

The fragment that closes Text, “be aware that you will need to roll up your sleeves and work hard for the first couple years, and you will be rewarded in the end.”, implies that one must
- make an effort to commit totally to one’s job in the initial phase, in order to reach success in the future.
- wear formal clothes to work so that, as years go by, a couple of top-rank officers can recognize one’s worth.
- accept jobs with severe routines only in order to obtain early promotions.
- avoid postponing assigned tasks and wearing inappropriate clothes in the working environment.
- show commitment to the working routine and demand the rewards frequently offered to senior employees.

Comentário do professor
O trecho "be aware that you will need to roll up your sleeves and work hard for the first couple years, and you will be rewarded in the end." usa a expressão arregaçar as mangas como metáfora para esforço intenso e prático no início da carreira.
Portanto, a ideia central é a necessidade de um compromisso total com as tarefas e responsabilidades na fase inicial do emprego, mesmo que isso exija sacrifício e aprendizado árduo.
O autor reforça que esse esforço não é temporário por vaidade, mas uma etapa necessária para adquirir experiência, ganhar confiança e construir credibilidade profissional.
Em consequência, o desempenho dedicado nesse período culminará em reconhecimento e benefícios futuros — a recompensa mencionada no fim do trecho.
