Example of Company Profile

 
 

BP Logo As you probably know, BP plc. is the holding company of one of the world's largest petroleum and petrochemicals groups. We discover and produce crude oil and natural gas; refine, market, supply and transport it; and manufacture and market petrochemicals. We're a global operation with over 97,000 employees and strongholds in Europe, North and South America, Australasia and Africa.

What you may not know is that we have moved beyond our traditional activities, and now have a growing business in gas and power, and in solar power generation.

Our pre-tax profit in 2007 reached over $32 billion. A key element of our commercial success is our commitment to health, safety and environmental protection, and constructive social involvement.

What is more, we work at the leading edge of new technology. We're always looking for innovative ways to optimise technology and - importantly - the diverse skills, ideas and energy of our people.

Because it's people who make BP special. To continue our success, we need to find exceptional individuals, people who stand out from the crowd. Could you be one of them?

We have opportunities for around 100 graduates in geoscience, chemistry, engineering (including drilling, reservoir, chemical, mechanical, electrical, etc), procurement, IT, health, safety and environment, and all business areas, including commercial analysis, business analysis, trading and marketing.



You need to know about the job.

You need to know as much about the job as possible in order to assess your suitability for it and, more importantly, so that you can show an employer how your degree, your work experience, your skills, interests and values match their requirements.

Analyse the person specification, if one is given. If not, look at the job description or advert and deduce what skills would be required in view of what the main tasks are. If neither is provided, your university careers service will usually have generic job descriptions which will describe what the job entails and requires. Identify what is required.
