Early-career petroleum hiring is a network problem

Campus season is not the only door
Operators miss people who interned on a cold-lake pad, a Wyoming lab, or a well-test crew and then graduated into a quiet hiring year. Those histories are legible if someone bothers to read them.
Energy Recruiting's early consulting work treated that gap as the job: counsel, introductions, and a community, not a promise of a placement rate.
Ask for one project
A good early-career conversation is one calculation, one field day, and a clear answer about relocation. A twelve-page résumé is optional.
