Oil and gas enterprises attract potential job seekers with stable high income and interesting jobs. But, getting a job in a company for the extraction or processing of black gold is not as easy as it seems at first glance.
Necessary
- - a diploma of higher education (primarily in the professions: oil and gas industry, engineering specialization, construction, etc.) or a referral from a university;
- - resume (in two languages for employment in foreign or international companies);
- - certificates or diplomas of completion of refresher courses in their specialization (mandatory for employees of narrow specializations).
Instructions
Step 1
Select a list of positions that you can apply for based on your education and work experience. It should be borne in mind that oil companies are interested in specialists of various profiles. In addition to technical workers, the oil and gas industry is steadily interested in professionals in legal, accounting and other specializations. As a rule, preference is given to specialists with experience in oil and gas companies. But do not forget that in this industry of oil production and refining companies, there is fierce competition between enterprises. That is why an employee with impressive work experience in a competing enterprise may be treated with frank caution and refuse him if, during the interview, he cannot explain the reason for leaving his previous job.
Step 2
Create a resume using a standard template. Be sure to include in your resume your positive attitude towards business travel if you are applying for a technical position. However, many personnel departments of oil companies accept for consideration only those resumes that are issued on a special company letterhead. Indicate the availability of certificates of continuing education and training, if any. Human Resources Services have the right to request an issued ID number to verify the accuracy of your words.
Step 3
Start searching for vacancies in the selected specialties. To do this, use Internet bulletin boards and similar print media. It should be remembered that many oil and gas companies advertise their vacancies only on the official website. Therefore, it is necessary to find the addresses of all enterprises you are interested in and study their official sites.
Step 4
Send your resume to all selected addresses. It should be remembered that when submitting an application to an international or foreign company, you must send a resume in two languages.
