How can I get a job in th oil industry when I have no experience in the field and minimal relative education?
By ripped off by CRA •
I'm looking to obtain work out of canada or do business elsewhere, simply because I need a change. Any 'short cuts' any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
1- Find the names of as many oil companies and contractors as posible, prepare a good CV (Resume) using the best of your knowledge focus in what ever you know how to do best (don't lie), give a title to your CV (for example: HR officer, secretary, tea boy what so ever) now apply online and personally against all positions available related to the field you know best.
2- Keep your phone with ya, you don't want to missed a call!! while waiting for any interview appointments, go to get urself a good suit and polish your shoes lol (shave and cut ur hair), you only get one chance to make a good impression and be lucky enough to have "the golden opportunity to "develope ur new career", be confident at all times.
" THAT SHOULD DO IT" GOOD LUCK!
It is not necessary to have oil related experience or education to get a job in the oil industry. All kind of profesional is needed in the oil industry be it on IT, Engineering, legal, medical or even teacher.
Short Cuts might benefit you only for a short period. There is no short cut to success according to me.
If you have luck by your side, you can do miracles, if you dont then you need to struggle the hard way. Oil & Gas Industries dont have kids running the show, Professional experience and solid education back ground is need in these sectors.
Good Luck
How about brain surgery? Seriously, with low education and no experience, you are on to a loser. better to try your luck at something you know something about.
Good question my friend. I started in the oil industry 20 years ago with no experiance or reletive qualifications. 20 yeras on I'm now working for an Oil Company in Qatar but to start with i started working for a service company. Drop me an e-mail through Qatar living and I will try and give you few pointers in the right direction
