About
this Site
General
/ Unusual - General and unusual comments about this
site, the industry and finding work offshore.
THE
BOOK - "The Complete Offshore
Employment Handbook"
This book has been updated numerous times and contains the best
and latest in helpful but hard to find information about how
to get an offshore oil rig job. Many have
described it as a light house in a storm. This one-of-a-kind
publication will be provided to you as a FREE BONUS
when you sign up for the Direct
Access Subscription Service.
Over
the years, this site has grown quite a bit. More and more people
began asking for specialized assistance in addition to our free
services. From this reader feedback we were able to design,
develop and test different ideas until we came up with the winning
package we use today in the professional
services part of the site.
Since
you are using the internet to find work in this industry, here
are 2 things you must
have in order to be successful with your job search.
-
A
reliable contact list of employers engaged in the business.
-
A
way to introduce yourself to prospective employers and get
them to listen to the why and how you would be a good candidate
(above all others) for hiring.
It
does not matter if you are an 18 year old fresh out of high
school looking for that first entry level position or you have
25 plus years working on all types of rigs all over the globe.
If you are going to use the internet in your offshore job search,
you need the above items.
This
might seem elementary to some, but you would be surprised how
many people try to do this job (the job of finding a job) without
the necessary tools and then wonder why they get no response.
With
that in mind, have a look at what people have to say about our
professional services.
Direct
Access Subscription Services - This allows anyone
who subscribes for this service to send the resumé they have
on file with us DIRECTLY to any of the employers listed on the
jobs postings page for a specific job(s).
It
is a targeted, direct shot access, as opposed to resumé blasting,
which I've come to realize (through reader feedback) is not
as effective as it is claimed to be. The jobs are posted by
actual employers, and all e-mail goes directly to them for that
specific job.
Employer
Contact List - (included with direct access). Every
employer engaged in this industry is not listed in our data
base. So, we compiled (after spending hundreds of hours of search
time) a comprehensive list that includes companies from all
over the globe engaged in all aspects of the business.
Name
of company, website and e-mail addresses of key contact personnel
is what you will find here. Many of the companies have online
jobs posted on the site, both for entry level and experienced
hands.

Professional
Resumés: The other service we offer is
that of writing a professional, effective resumé for those
who realize how important it is to make that all important favorable
first impression.
You
need to treat every resumé you send out as having the potential
to produce an interview for you. It is amazing how many people
spend an untold number of hours sending out half assed resumés.
Half assed resumés will get you half assed results at the very
best. More than likely they will get no results at all.
