"I decided I wanted to become a petroleum engineer in high school after watching the movie Deep Water Horizon. I was inspired to study petroleum engineering because petroleum is not only an important energy source, but it is an important part of the economy worldwide. I am interested in working at this company because it provides training, education, and the ability to advance in my career. This company provides a variety of training and certifications for their field engineers, and I believe this will allow me to grow in my career here. With a combination of training and field experience, my goal is to eventually become a reservoir engineer."
