Most companies will provide major medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, 401K programs and profit sharing. Some companies have excellent training programs to help you move up the ladder from trainee slots to more lucrative positions. A recruiter may have contacts with companies in the energy industry and can possibly find you job opportunities before they post to the general public. These recruiters can be very helpful in knowing who is hiring and if they hire people with little to no experience. This keeps you from wasting your time. To be successful in seeking offshore employment, you must be willing to do what average and ordinary people are not willing to do.

We all know, and so do recruiters and company Oil and Gas Directory representatives that everyone embellishes their resume to an extent, but do not misrepresent yourself, your experience, or your skills. For example, do not claim to be a pipe welder if you've only had experience on plate. Or, do not claim to be a diesel mechanic if the only experience you have is doing oil changes and minor tune-ups in a garage. It is very important to not do that when speaking, e-mailing or corresponding with recruiters or a company representative.
