5 Different Ways to Find No Experience Offshore Oil Drilling Jobs

Are you trying to find offshore oil drilling jobs? They pay very well, and you will face stiff competition in your job hunt. Frankly speaking, the absolute best way to get jobs in the petroleum and gas drilling field is through a recommendation by a friend or a relative. However, if you do not possess this kind of advantage, you are only left with the following five ways of finding an entry level job in this industry.

1. Look up the petroleum companies and oil service contractors in the share market. How do you find the offshore oil drilling companies? By visiting your local library and going through their share investing magazines and publications. You especially want to check the listing of businesses in the Wilshire 5000 stock index. This index contains the 5000 largest corporations that are listed in the United States. This includes quite a few of the larger firms that operate offshore platforms. From there, you can find the address and phone number of their HR departments (or better yet, of the departments which operate the different oil fields). Because you are looking for a job and not investing, the information need not be particularly up to date. However, it is better to look for those firms where the stock price is going up (because publicly listed corporations tend to lay off workers when their stock prices start sliding). If possible, look for a list that is divided into different categories, then you will not have to research all 5000 of them.

There have been many doubters out there that you need to be made aware of. With the most recent dramatic upward spiking in commodities, many investors claim that prices are artificially inflated. While this may hold true, it does not mean they won’t continue to inflate artificially… making you money along the way. Despite the fact that all of these companies look expensive as heck, I think that the trend up will continue… and it’s always better to get in on the action than be sitting on the sideline, sucking your thumb. ;)
