We have also been contacted by some of the international agencies who specialise in staffing the oil rigs both onshore and offshore. If you have the skills and qualifications then these guys are the ones who can help you get your oil industry job off the ground.

have a look at the following companies. Even if you are qualified in one of the many
fields that are in demand on oil rigs, you will have the best chance of securing employment by making use of the services that these guys offer below.
1. Oil Career Employment and Resource Centre have an impressive record of helping
people find positions within the petroleum industry. The proof of the pudding is what references we could obtain and we where impressed with what everyone had to say about them. Here’s what a few of the successful applicants had to say about working with this professional group:
“Two weeks ago I came to the end of a project and started looking for work again. I have a lot of industrial experience, but none on oil platforms. I don’t know anyone in the business. I can’t drive all over the world knocking on doors. I spent a little bit of money and about 1 to 2 hours visiting most of the company links, most recruiters, the resume eventually took on life of it’s own. Actually I got a second inquiry today from SGFGlobal; I’ve told them I’m going out with Danos and Curole. I’m now working on the Gulf of Mexico out of Houma, LA. My investment in finding a six figure income turned out to be less than an hour’s pay. What a deal! Oilcareer has been invaluable Thanks, oilcareer!”

“I would like to thank you so much for all the help and information you provide with your memberships. I signed up for the shortest membership a little skeptical that it would really help at all, considering I had no direct oil industry experience. I looked through all of your directories, job postings, and had my resume posted with oilcareer.com. Within two weeks I was being called for interviews. I just got back from my first hitch offshore and my wife handed me messages from even more oil companies calling for interviews! Thanks for delivering on every promise made on your site and for helping me get started in a very promising, hot career!”

“Since joining oilcareer.com I have actually been able to find entry-level jobs (Instead of wasting my time going around in circles.) that I wasn’t able to find before, giving me a real chance at an offshore job with minimal experience. Also to know what information oil field employers are wanting from my resume and how to send it out to the right companies with confidents.”

2. We also had a look at Rigworker which was founded back in 1998. A group of oil industry workers got together to provide a service whereby prospective oil industry staff could get information and help securing both onshore and offshore position utilising their industry contacts and know-how. These guys also really know their stuff and we have seen many very happy applicants go on to rewarding jobs within the petroleum industry after utilising their services.
These are the only two companies that we will currently endorse as being worthy of a 2nd look. There are so many dodgy characters in the oil industry employment arena that we feel confident that you will be happy with their services.
