Expatriate Jobs in Oil and Gas Sector...

Many companies are now successfully hitting targets on graduate and trainee recruitment, the real problem facing the industry is the recruitment of those with five years or more relevant experience – personnel able to ‘hit the ground running’ and drive forward major projects quickly and competently.

 The UK oil & gas industry’s training body, recently reported that 44% of companies are expecting significant growth this year – so where will the staff come from to fill these gaps in engineering expertise and management of project development and delivery? Skills shortages were the biggest challenge to the sector’s growth, the report found, and with around 15,000 more jobs potentially being filled in the next five years, the demand for engineers with the necessary skill set was greater than ever. Without it, wage inflation could run out of control.

 Jobs: Advantages and Disadvantages...
Good salary is certainly the greatest advantage. Another great thing is that you can build a great career in this filed, if you work hard. There are all kinds of training courses, and you will be able to improve your skills.
There are certain disadvantages, too. For example, workers share living spaces (in fact, they share almost everything). This also means that you won’t have much privacy.Oil rigs are located far away from urban areas. This means you will be surrounded by the same people every day.

 How to Find an Overseas Oil Job....

Remember, your CV is your first step towards getting a job.If you have any relatives of friends living abroad, you can talk to them and learn as much as you can about that particular country. In case your skills are not needed there, you can find skill lists of other countries and see if they need workers in this field.

Contacting U.S. companies that have branches in other countries may be helpful. They may hire you and give you the opportunity to live abroad. If you get a job in one of such companies, you will get considerable help with your documentation. You can ask your employer if there is any relocation assistance. In most cases, there is. Many companies will provide free housing or camps.
