Though she started off thinking she was destined for medical school, Samantha Furtado decided to move into chemical engineering, earning a Bachelor of Science in 2009 from the University of Calgary.

“My degree is in chemical engineering with a minor in petroleum. I chose to add a minor that reflected the industry I wanted to work in – Oil and Gas.” she says.

Before even graduating, Samantha gained valuable work experience at Nexen Energy through a 16 month internship. As part of Nexen’s internship, Furtado was a reservoir engineer intern and worked on Nexen’s Yemen assets. “My job during this time was to work in a team environment and determine new strategies on how we could best optimize our assets in Yemen. While I never went to the Middle East, a lot of my time was focused on what we could do to get more oil out of the ground over there.” After participating in the internship program, Samantha became part of Nexen’s New Graduate Program.

“When I started, I was a reservoir engineer in training and worked in the heavy oil group which managed our assets in Saskatchewan.”

In 2010, Nexen divested these assets, and Furtado had the opportunity to move to the oil sands team as a production engineer. “When I first joined the group, I was involved in the day-to-day operations of our oil sands wells. My role focused primarily on short-term optimization strategies – for example, making sure the right amount of steam was injected into our wells to achieve optimum results.”

In 2012, Furtado was presented with another opportunity – to focus more on long-term strategic thinking in the oil sands group as a reservoir engineer. “This position requires more forecasting and future planning,” she says, “watching how the wells are communicating with each other, and determining when more wells need to be drilled. There is a lot more project management work involved in this role. We have to be concerned with how to best optimize the reservoir, not just a well.”

Samantha Furtado finds her fit at Nexen through the New Graduate Program

Samantha Furtado, Reservoir Engineer, is a part of Nexen’s NewGraduate Program and currently supports Nexen’s oil sands group.


Nexen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNOOC Limited, is an independent, global energy company operating in some of the world’s most significant basins including the UK North Sea, offshore West Africa, the United States and Western Canada. We are strategically focused on three businesses: conventional oil and gas, oil sands and shale gas/oil.

Nexen has over 3,000 employees, with more than half working in Canada. The company is the recipient of many top employer awards and has been recognized for its training and skills development, employee engagement and community investment.

One of Nexen’s signature human resource initiatives is its New Graduate Program, which hires new grads in a variety of roles including technical and financial positions, providing them with a variety of

experience through job rotations. The program allows new grads to work on different projects and learn from leaders in the energy industry.

Assigned mentors provide coaching and feedback to each of the graduates. Training is an integral part of the program which includes a CDN$7,500 corporate training budget for each graduate during every

year of their program. Together, these components develop technically skilled, confident, motivated and innovative employees who contribute to Nexen’s ongoing success.

What will you be?


“Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness, but rather by the presence of clear strengths.”

~ John Zenger

PROBLEMSPOSSIBILITIESto

Do you spend more time focused on your weaknesses or your strengths? I presume that we spend lesser time on our strengths and most tend to have a critical self. If

you are open to making a paradigm shift in your mindset, you could be cultivating a more accurate self-assessment; stimulate tendencies and attention to, “what is right in you, and what is right for you” versus “what is wrong;” your self-schema could change. I welcome you to contemplate a perspective, philosophies and principles that do not deny people to experience their problems and challenges, discerns that everyone has potential and emphasis is not placed on the problem or the deficits of the individual for cause. Through strengths based discovery and development; engagement in strengths based conversations and strength spotting, meaningful change can transpire and you can go from thinking: “I will believe when I see it – I believe and I see.”

Like any transformation, this practice instructs self-reflection, but evidently, alongside with observations from others and listening to others. Have you ever been curious and

asked someone what they see and hear from you? It is quite possible that you do not see yourself congruent with another’s perspective; an inverse relationship.

If you are receiving positive evaluations from others and if you see yourself as worthy and capable, this can be a driver to develop a self-concept that is willing to see the past,

present and future self – the person you are innately and the person that you may become.

Kelly Galant, CCDP, Career Specialist


I find that it is often the case, whether it is with students, co-workers, spouses, or whomever, in work or personal lives that we spend more time looking at what is in the gap of where we were, where we are and where we want to be. I invite you to relentlessly nurture and build upon the good in your life, repair the worst and affirm your progress in the meantime. In my opinion, Martin Seligman states it best in this declaration:

“We can remain pleasantly stuck at this stage or we can go on to experience the Good Life, which is achieved through discovering our unique virtues and

strengths, and employing them creatively to enhance our lives.” His extensive research shared that the most satisfied, upbeat people were those who had discovered and exploited their unique combination of “signature strengths…”

Have you ever heard of the Miracle Question? The miracle question is a strategy used to have the individual envision as if the “problem(s) is gone.” A technique that

can offer an incentive to catapult from a problem saturated career story or narrative into construction of new reality.

“Suppose tonight, while you slept, a miracle occurred. Imagine that when you awake tomorrow, a magical transformation has taken place. Your life has

turned out exactly the way you always wanted it. Your world is not as it is now; it is just as you would like it to be. You have resolved the problem(s) and there is renowned acceptance to anything that was bothering and all barriers have dispersed. What has changed?”

A teacher, advisor, friend, manager, parent or whomever, can support inquiry and examination into what would noticeably be different and better in this novel

life. Robust questioning can probe descriptions of how that future and even preferred or possible self would be different when that problem no long exists or intrinsic resources are determined. This technique is a query and the trust, dialogue and interactions could create the means for individuals to survey the situation and participate in strength based conversations. A probing question such as: “How have you managed to handle this thus far?” is an approach that grounds in a strengths perspective and an individual’s resiliency, and may offer an opportunity to reveal a repertoire of problem solving strategies, coping skills and capacities. I recall a personal story of a friend who studied long and hard for this one particular exam that would influence her career and allow her to practice her profession. When she shared her pass and mark, my initial thoughts and response was: “no surprise, you are very clever,” surprisingly, her reaction seemed closer to shock to me. I said to her, ”I knew you had it in you.” She stared at me with a look of confusion; it seemed that this simple observation brought her to tears.

-CONTINUED-


I want to see individuals come to appreciate self and others, rather than endure a bias to a negative collection of beliefs. My underlying motives to stimulate strengths

conversations and development is to act as an agent of change, to source motivation, to promote individual potential and levels of commitment and achievement, excellence and even mastery.

What do strengths sound like or look like in action? Well, why not call upon an individual and ask: “Tell me when you are at your best?” In my experience, this can

be a paramount example that instigates more ease for conversation, memories that narrate words such as “I love it when...” and an observable change in energy from the speaker and even a vision. The rate of speech may be rapid and increase as the story continues, the individual seems ‘present’ in conversation with you and then you hear something like, and “the pieces would just fall into together.” Now, that would make me curious – you? I would be listening for clues in that conversation that indicates a yearning for an activity, even an attraction. Has there been any insight into an inherent, natural ability that allows this individual to approach something new yet seamlessly achieve success, a rapid learning or even a ‘glimpse of excellence.’ Has there been any gauge that denotes the “feeling of time flies or that feeling of flow. Have often do you feel this?

So think about the next time you get faced with the critical and commonly asked interview

questions, “What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?” I wonder if you will be sure of self. Will you give, what I call, “the old song and dance” or say something that you think the potential employer wants or needs to hear? I believe that so many individuals take this standard question for granted. I would guess that the crucial stage of knowing self within career development gets bypassed. You do need to be the best at offering a compelling and authentic declaration that describes you in the most accurate, specific and relevant way, as interviewers have heard many clichéd answers. Thomas Jefferson once said, “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom”. Finding ways to discover, label and invest time and energy into practice to your strengths while working on your weaknesses better qualifies you and generates commodity. So, my proposition to you is, learn to affirm and apply your signature strengths. You didn’t get a call back from that interview? Well, the individual who is problem focused will most likely dwell on “what’s wrong with me?” while the solution-focused candidate will focus on gaining feedback and reflect


on what may work better next time. So I ask you, “Is the glass half full or half empty? Will it be Problems or Possibilities?”

I hate when the term “networking” gets thrown around. What

even is networking now? Meeting someone, adding them on LinkedIn, and then eagerly anticipating them to accept your invite so that they can become a “connection”? This lacks substance and, even more importantly in commerce, rapport.

of all jobs filled are referral based.

up to


ChanCes are you already have an established network of which you have yet to take full advantage. Family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues are a great starting point: often times, within these networks lies a rich source of business professionals who are willing to meet with you to discuss a wide range of job-seeking or business-related matters; whether it is individuals directly within this established network or a connection via someone in this group, a potential wealth of knowledge is within arm’s length once you start exploring these options. so ask. Ask your family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues whether they know anyone with particular knowledge about an industry you’re interested in.

So what can you do to make m e a n i n g f u l connections?

there are plenty of other ways to branch off this immediate path of networking as well: Corporate information sessions, trades shows, and of course, your own University of Calgary Career Services, provide unique networking opportunities where you can speak with tenured professionals about what they do and how they found success in their field. If you are looking for a quick overview discussing the basics of networking, Career services offers networking 101 each semester to go over the ins-and-outs of a proper introduction and business interaction.

IF you are thinking, “Okay, but what’s in it for me? Why should I dedicate time and energy into improving my professional network?” Well, the statistics of vacant jobs that are not advertised publicly are staggering. Up to 60% of all jobs filled are referral based . In other words, your network is likely to get you that first job, not your resume. so, with that in mind...

always strive to have a vibrant and valued network with connections that are actually meaningful.

and hey, maybe after you have met with someone you feel will assist your professional growth, consider sending them an invitation to connect on LinkedIn.
