rig-welder | All about rig-welder jobs and how to find a job

So many people inquire on how how to get a vacancy on an offshore oil rig on this website. In lots of cases they are new entry level applicants with very few important skills or anything else to offer. You have to realize that these are high technology environments so entry level rig-welder jobs are limited with a enormous number of people applying for them. So often I hear from people wanting to get Rig Welder jobs.

I have worked in the offshore oil industry for more than 25 years and I am going to make an effort and give out to you you some no sugar coating advice on work in the oil industry. If you already work in the offshore oil industry or you are attempting to get yourself a new post offshore this site will try and give out you unadorned, achievable and unbiased ideas.

You need to clearly comprehend that it is not as easy and straight forward as some oil rig employment websites would have you swallow. You simply can not walk onto an offshore installation into a new job without some fundamentals in place.

Offshore installations are potentially dangerous places, and safety and safe working practices is what we all live and breathe. For many openings it most without doubt is not a training ground for somebody who doesn't have essential safety education or skills. Read the book on offshore safety.

In general personnel with a pertinent trade in mechanical or electrical or electronics discipline have the best probability at acquiring a technical job start, however experienced men is what most contractors chase, and that's perfectly sensible. The offshore world isn't a charity industry, contractors expend immense dollars and if you want big money you got to help the company make them.

It is up to you to present yourself in the most outstanding way possible to prospective employers and give companies a motivation to start you off. The oil field is not for sissies! You need to demonstrate people that you have a confident and proactive can-do attitude. If you are someone who likes everything on a plate and your rear end wiped for you, better stay house with your mom or the wife.

For people who are not in the offshore petroleum industry and are trying to get a kickoff, do you actually know what an oil rig is? Most folks who transmit me emails noticeably don't have a clue. If you desire to work in the oil industry then it's best to find out the fundamentals to avoid looking like a meathead. Here is some essential information on the various offshore oil installation types that come under the umbrella and generic expression of oil rigs.

Many rig-welders positions come about as you are in the right position and the right time and get data about openings that may never get advertised. Once you are offshore it is all about networking and getting industry inside information about vacant positions.

This site will give you typical job description for Rig Welding Jobs . Rig Welding is an important element of offshore rigs and those with the right qualifications, experience and know how have a good future.

The message submission section on this page is really easy to do, but some helpful advice to help you. I know that there are recruiters sometimes going through these submissions looking for likely candidates. If you would like to impress people and grab their interest, then take some forethought with your submission and make the effort pay off. If you put a vague title and a one line shoddily spelt or written statement on how to start, what positions open etc it simply will not get posted. All You Need to Know About the Rig-Welder

On your Title clearly state the position you are seeking. Don't add several different ones as no one will look at this.

In the body of your message declare clearly what skills you have that may be of use if you are new entrant. If you have any educational qualifications, listing them along with a basic summary of important work experience. Going on about how hard a worker you are and how dependable means nothing. If you have already invested in all the many required offshore safety certificates, then start with this. Above all do a spell check of the submission, mediocre spelling and pitiful grammar turns off possible employers. They say you only get one chance to make a first ipression. It is very true!

I have all the compulsory offshore safety certificates, medical certificates and passport and I am standing by to go to work. I do not have any former offshore experience and any other useful welding experience (put in plain words this, what are you qualified to wled with, any NDT qualifications?) and have good safety ethic (describe your safety knowledge). State your educational attainments and even sporting achievements and prove that you are a team participant. If you can think of some other experience or qualifications that have some value then say what they are. Put a 100 words or more down and sell yourself. All You Need to Know About the Rig-Welder
