I would suggest downloading the Employment Report.
https://rotman.utoronto.ca/-/media/Files ... 5-2016.pdf and https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/-/media/ ... 6-2017.pdf
(note the slow download speed)
You will see the picture - most energy jobs are in the West (Calgary and such). Rotman usually does not place well into this industry due to the nature of the industry (less sexy and much more reliant on past experience than consulting for example). I see only 2-4%.
I don't think it means that placement is bad, i just think nobody wants those jobs and perhaps there are not that many of them. I would search on job sites to see what is the size of the market for MBA's looking for a job in Energy. I know that even in the US it is not a big market/industry and they don't really go on campus visits/tours to recruit MBA's (chemical and process engineers yes, absolutely, but not MBA's)

Thanx a lot bb for the insight:)
I was of the opinion that B2B marketing (both national and international) of equipment relating to this sector would offer me some kind of good placement. Or may be some related sector requiring operations managers. Would you. based on your experience, suggest any alternate field that i can or should target. Or do i have to begin my career from scratch at the age of 40...
Regards
