It's not the end of the world is it, hardly setting the world alight are they! It is probably a blessing in disguise as you could easily become too comfy in what is a stale market. I would treat this as a launching pad for better things.

I'll second that. When I lost my job with Chevron Oil in 2006 I thought my world had ended - when actually it was the best thing that could have happened and I ended up with a better job out of it!

If you've got other jobs to fall back on sounds like either way you will have it sorted mate

How did you like the industry & working at Chevron?

I have been considering going into BP to do Procurement after uni.

out of all the companies I've worked for Chevron were probably the best in terms of freebies and training oppertunities, but the clawback (days you have to work extra before you get paid any extra - mine was 16 days!) was a pain. I spent a week in Norway on a training course and didn't get paid for it - but made sure I partied hard every night on the company credit card

BP are really good if you end up on the right platfrom. I've been on 3 now and they've all been great, but I'd never work for them onshore.

I'm with Shell now and I can't say I like it much. They never spend money on anything non-production related, I'm constantly doing extra time without overtime - or even a thank you from the powers that be

It's gets you out to see the world though. I've got some amazing party stories out of it all
