Thank you very much

Let's chat about thank-you notes. Earlier this semester, we told you about common interview mistakes. One thing students forget is to send a follow-up thank you email. After your interview, send the recruiter and/or interviewer a brief email thanking them for their time. That could be what sets you apart from other candidates.

bpx energy 2024 X-perience Event

X-perience is bpx energy’s exploratory trip for current college students. The two-day all-expenses paid trip, to be held August 19-21, provides students from a variety of disciplines the opportunity to visit bpx's Denver headquarters, learn from industry experts, and explore career options.
