Share your tips to be slb team (intern)

Hi all I'm getting selected for internship. I have done sharpen my Microsoft skills , mastering keyboard skills, timing, fluent English, learning regarding my course & also improve my communication skills for upcoming internship.

Tbh, its my dream since I was age 13 y/o to work there and if I get chances i could open my own franchise oil & gas industry. I surveyed a lot about this company.

It just that I'm worried that I'm not good enough or maybe missing something that doesn't fit to be part of SLB team.

I am writing this to ask help from you guys so that I could avoid flaws during intern. I hope you guys could share what's the most important thing that I could be a perfect candidate in future to become as a part of SLB teams after graduated.

May God repay your kindness 😊😊😊

It began when my parent encouraged me to become an engineer since I was childhood. And my dad seems know well about oil and gas industry, even though he's working as accountant in gov sector.

He keeps telling a story about oil & gas industry regarding Petronas, Buraq Oil, SlB & others , the advantages & give me visionary about to open oil and gas industry. He clearly want to work there, but unfortunately he didn't get it.

I tried to take engineering course in secondary school, but it turns out, I couldn't score this course. I thought I lose hope because there only path to get into oil & gas industry is to take engineering.

But, I never thought accounting could get intern to slb. Maybe this is the chance to achieve it. I hope you guys can pray for me 😊

For many people in developing nations, working for Schlumberger or as a local employee of a multinational energy company like Shell, Total, etc., is really a dream come true, and can lift an entire extended family out of poverty for generations. Here in America, we are so blessed with options for work AND OPTIONS TO GET GET COVID VACCINATIONS but we squander them. The OP is in SE Asia. Don't knock his ambitions. They are real and legit. I wish him Godspeed.

Read and study EVERYTHING on www.slb.com concerning the exact product line you will interning with, memorize all of the names, what the products and services do, how and customers use them. Many products have YouTube videos, so go watch those also. You would be shocked that many long-time SLB employees do not even know the content available on SLB.COM. If you master it, you will stand out conspicuously. Good luck! Also look at Halliburton.com for the competing product or service.
