Tell me about your education and how it relates to the oil, gas, or energy sector.
The interviewer would like for you to take a few minutes to highlight your educational background. You can mention your GPA, your major or minor and also any accolades and awards that you received during your university career. If you were involved in student-led clubs or other extracurriculars, you could mention that as well.
"My degree in Chemical Engineering has prepared me in a few ways. My degree came with a heavy focus on petroleum, which included safety issue reviews such as blowouts, fire, and other hazards. I also learned a great deal about hydrate formation and decomposition, H2S, toxic gases, and safe transportation and disposal of petroleum wastes. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA and was also president of the Student's Union, rounding out my time with some leadership experience."

I have five years working for a leading oil and gas company. My experience has gained me a strong work ethic, my ability to problem solve, attention to detail, core values in my employer, and how to practice these qualities daily. The time I have spent for my previous employer has instilled strong, safe work practices and how to recognize and avoid hazards that we as operators could encounter.
