Copyright 2007 by Harry S Richards The Opportunities:- Opportunities to work offshore worldwide have never been greater. The demand for new crews is almost at a peak. The major players in Gas and Oil exploration in Europe, the USA, South East Asia, and even China, have recently launched their expansion plans to drive earnings growth in 2007-2008 and beyond. Rig Crews get Two Weeks off every Month:- Work offshore for just half a year and get paid for the whole year? Sounds too good to be true, but that\'s on offer now in offshore locations worldwide. The problem for new entrants to the industry is that these jobs are rarely advertised. You\'ll be hard-pushed to find them listed on Oil Company websites or in search engines. Why? Because now the growth is so fast that employers recruit crews via the \"Walk-in Interview\". It saves time and keeps rigs fully manned. Walk-In Interviews:- Most offshore job-seekers may never know where the next \"Walk-in Interview\" is going to take place. It\'s almost like \"speed dating\" except that you only get one chance to bring along your passport and a copy of a recent payslip. There is only one publication that I have seen that lists most of the current venues where you can simply \"Walk-in\" and get yourself an Oil Rig Job. Take a look at www.offshore-jobs.co.uk . Even entry-level jobs are available, but you should have some similar shore-based skill or experience that can be adapted. Free Living:- Rig workers get four hot meals a day, all you care to eat. Seafood and steaks are on the menu often. Snacks, cold drinks, and fruit juices are provided 24 hours a day. Between working hours there are plenty of satellite programs and videos to watch, served with snacks and cold drinks. The bigger companies, such as Esso and Shell go out of their way to provide all the comforts of home. Some even have Gym rooms and Saunas. Another perk is that you can call home anytime you like via satellite phones. New Entrants:- For the new entrant, previous offshore experience is not a requirement, but it helps. All applicants are considered on an individual basis, and once you get some basic offshore experience, you have the key which will open many doors for you. It\'s getting that initial bit of experience which sometimes presents the biggest problem. The website mentioned earlier includes several tips to show you how to get your first bit of experience. Military Service:- If you have prior military service or you still are in the military, you will be able to use your military training to your own advantage. The military offers a great deal of excellent training, and some of it is transferable to the offshore industry. For example, if you are a mechanic in the military, you will probably have diesel and hydraulic experience. Many things offshore operate hydraulically, pneumatically, and are diesel powered. If you worked on jet aircraft or helicopters, then you have some excellent experience to offer. Turbine engines are becoming more common all the time as power plants offshore. Know How to Meet the Hurdles:- The opportunities for a worthwhile career in the offshore Oil and Gas industry could be waiting for you if you have the motivation to follow those who know how to meet the hurdles. You could do no better than to get all that information in a single downloadable volume from www.offshore-jobs.co.uk For the Oil Rig worker, the greatest benefit is the time off. Where else can you go to work and get two weeks out of the month off? The time off presents a truly wonderful opportunity. Could this be the career for you?
