Joseph Ernest Patrick Bassi - Trade Contract Analyst (BP)

Joseph "Joey" Bassi (born November 27, 1989) is a Trade Contract Analyst working for British oil company BP. He had served as a Cleaner and Admin Assistant and on 07 April, 2008, was assigned to be a Trade Contract Analyst.

Early Life Joseph Ernest Patrick Bassi was born at The Royal London Hospital in East London, England. He is the son of Robert Bassi, a business man, and wife Carol Bassi, Secretary for Right Choice Employment Agency Limited. Joe left school with hardly any grades and it was rather hard to find a job and was working for his Dad. Joe has two brothers and one sister called Chris Bassi, Daniel Bassi and Anna Bassi. As a young man Joe was very nervous, unconfident and shy.

Career

While looking through a local East End newspaper he applied for a course called skillsmatch which was advertised. Joe started skillsmatch on 10/01/07. He applied for the course and successfully made it onto the course. After the second week being on the course he began to feel very confident and became really close to a man called John Reid. John was a course adviser and they had a great connection and spoke about women, sheep, Scotland and beer like they had known each other for years. The course involved learning touch typing, excel, basic admin skills, interview techniques. Joe was offered to do his work placement at Love and Tate which was a great opportunity for him as he was able to show Love and Tate consultants what he could do and how well he wanted to do in life.

After finishing his placement at Love and Tate it was not long after he had a call from Kaytan (L&T consultant) letting him know he had an interview for Pearson Book Company. Unfortunately he didn’t get the job due to not having enough experience (reports suggest he was glad). Not long after, he had another call from Kaytan telling him he had an interview at BP. He knew this was a fantastic opportunity as this was one of the 'biggest oil companies in Europe”. Joe succeeded in the interview and was hired through Love & Tate at BP. Joe had a simple role at BP but used working for BP as a big advantage and a step in the door. Reports suggest from the first day he started at BP he has never let himself go. He has been known for constantly impressing his bosses which he claims has paid off. After a year working in the registry team doing basic admin an opportunity came up for a role in the Paralegal Contracts team. Joe was put forward by his boss for a role as a 'Trade Contract Analyst'. This was a totally different job from doing basic admin. He was now dealing with multi-million dollar oil contracts. The role involved entering oil contracts into various systems for vessel /barge operators to enable them to move oil around the globe.

During his first year as a permanent BP employee he has built good relationships within different teams. He has also built strong connections with key people across Europe. This has helped him resolve issues quickly and efficiently. His enthusiasm to succeed still remains as strong as ever. As time goes on he understands more and more about the global oil operations and how it works. This keeps Joe interested in his job & keen to succeed. In his current role, he always brings the best possible service to all the teams he comes into contract with throughout Europe. He delivers this by using the knowledge he is constantly gaining, prioritizing his growing tasks, answering queries swiftly and with his experience he is able to spot problems within ISP and resolve issues promptly.

During 2010 he volunteered to join the BP community scheme and help the New Choices for youth trust (NCY). This involved talking to youngsters from the Newham area about his role in BP, showing them what we as 'BP' do, floor walk of 20CS and playing games to keep them active throughout the day. Joe also challenged them about their lives and what they want in their career. He also attended NCY Community Project meetings which gave him exposure to higher level management. Joe is hoping this will help is career develop in the future.

Throughout the year of 2010 he has used his instinct wisely and his managed his workload effectively by managing tasks to take most advantage of his time including helping on the Gas & Power portfolio, LNG portfolio and becoming familiar with different jobs within the team which he can now cover. In 2010 he was proud of a 100% attendance record which shows his commitment, determination & continual enthusiasm to succeed.

Personal Life

Joe still lives in the East End of London living in a rented flat with his Fiancé Lauren Plews.They are expecting their first child which is going to be on the 30th May 2011.

Since working at BP he has achieved a lot. He has been permanent since January 2010, he has been able to afford a one bedroom flat, met key people to develop his career and making his mum proud which is priceless. In a recent report he said "My mum keeps me motivated, enthusiastic in everything I do!"
