Usually offshore jobs do not require any experience or expertise in offshore drilling and oil extraction industry. This is particularly applicable to entry level ones. A factor that distinguishes offshore jobs from other jobs is that it is characterized by many jobs and few applicants. This creates a favorable environment (in the form of higher salaries) for those who are looking for offshore employment. Under such circumstances for offshore employer each applicant gains particular value and importance; therefore in this industry you have higher chances to get employed than in any other sector.
As we mentioned in one of our older articles for offshore employers it is much more important what kind of person you are, than what experience, education, expertise or tenure you have. Employers are usually looking for honest individual, who can learn things quickly and are physically and mentally healthy. Offshore jobs are associated with hard working conditions and living far away from the people you love. If you are OK with that, then you have good chances to find high income offshore job.
To find offshore job, you need to make your CV / Resume available to the right people. This is where the hard part starts. It is difficult to get your CV to the right people, because offshore employers rarely announce vacancies on the popular jobs sites that you may be using or be aware of.
So what you need is the help of professionals, who are familiar with this field and can help you to promote yourself to offshore employers effectively. I recommend you to use services that Rigworker.com website provides:
- Under the free membership this site helps you to modify your CV in a way that offshore employers want to see it and publish it on their site;
- Under the paid membership Rigworker.com allows you to send your CV to over 1,200 offshore employers. Employer list is continuously updated and renewed to eliminate the possibility that you will come across “dead” e-mail addresses and abandoned telephone numbers;
In fact you can find offshore jobs without Rigworker.com offers you, but you will need to spend a lot of time scanning relevant sites, extracting e-mail addresses, creating the database and sending you CV to each e-mail one by one. Rigworker.com does all this instead of you. An employer receives a letter and does not have a clue that in reality it was not sent by you. Of course you need to pay certain fee for premium membership at Rigworker.com, but the good points are that per employer contact cost is 7 cents and once you buy Rigworker.com membership, you have it until the rest of your life.
