There are thousands of people around the globe at the moment who have lost their jobs or have been retrenched. It is not a pleasant feeling for anyone, if you are one of these causalities you will know what I mean.
In the hurry to find a replacement many people look outside their current industry. Why not consider a unique and adventures job in the world biggest industry, the oil industry.
Working on an oil rig is far from boring and the earning potential is outstanding. Even without any qualifications you can still earn in excess of $45000 per year.
As oil and gas play such a vital role in our everyday lives, the demand for petroleum products is extremely high and will continue so a long time to come despite all the doom and gloom in the media about other sectors of the economy.
The oil industry is huge and takes place in all corners of the globe, so you are sure to find an area that interests you. Working offshore is not just a job it is a way of life as most oil rigs platforms are located way offshore normally only accessibly by helicopter.
Most shifts require you to be on the rig platform between two to four weeks at a time and then home for two to four weeks. You will only work for about 6 months of the year while still earning a fulltime salary.
Working offshore on an oil rig is not for everyone and you should gather as much information as possible.
Like any job you will need to sell your skills and qualifications to the recruiters and human resource officers. Take the time to have your CV or resume professionally written up before sending it off to the various offices. Remember you only get one first impression so make sure it counts.
