JP Warren and Jim Holmes explore how effective communication and value creation determine career success in the energy industry, from navigating job interviews to surviving industry uncertainty.

• Breaking the engineering stereotype by being outgoing and engaging rather than introverted
• Differentiating yourself through genuine enthusiasm and clear communication of your value proposition
• The "Gen Z stare" phenomenon and how poor body language hinders effective communication
• Why interpersonal skills create opportunities in an increasingly digital workplace
• Strategies for students at career fairs: take notes, ask questions, and follow up effectively
• How creating and demonstrating value provides job security during industry uncertainty
• The importance of building relationships before crises occur rather than reaching out only when problems arise
• Service companies as early indicators of industry changes and the value of their expertise
• Treating internships as extended job interviews and making memorable impressions

We're recording this podcast from Colorado School of Mines where we've been working with petroleum engineering students on career development. Remember that this industry is a long-play business - build relationships consistently rather than only reaching out when you need something.
