Objective

In a Petroleum Industry always in motion, reinventing itself over and over again, I’m seeking for opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally in a daily challenging atmosphere, in which I can teach and learn to and from my co-workers at the same time. Professionally, my skills and background lead me to positions as a Reservoir or a Production Engineer, but my strong computer related skills and my love for field operations lead me to other positions, like a Workover Engineer, or a Software Support Engineer; but now that I love learning new interesting things every day, it will be an extra challenge to start as a Junior Engineer in other field.

Skills

Other than my professional skills, which can be extracted from my objective and my background, I’m very Responsible, every little thing that I start has to be ended; independent but great team worker in a way in which make my team goals my own, so our success is mine too; trustworthy because I can handle delicate information without compromise myself, my goals or any co-worker, and last but not least self-taught, now that time’s running so fast, I can’t always take time to take courses or actualize myself in many fields I’m interested in, so I learnt how to teach myself, and it has worked out fine, almost all of the time I’m learning something on my own.
