Hey Captain!!

Thank you so much for the information on your website about the offshore industry. Because of the information in your guide, I landed an interview and my first oilfield job on my first phone call.

I should go in for training and to get my certifications in the next
1-2 weeks. I need to have my resume' taken off of the 'active' list please. As much as I'd love for employers to see me and get my name in their heads, it is no longer necessary.

Again, thank you for the excellent info - you were totally right - there is no magic HIRE ME button. Just hard work, and when you get to see the recruiter SELL YOURSELF!! I've got no oilfield
experience, and he didn't think twice! Anyhow, thanks again - I will be referring people!

If you believe there is, (or believe there should be) you are on the wrong page. This site is about the real world. If you need a fantasy job site, go elsewhere. You cannot just pick up a phone and say "hire me" and you are hired. There is no "hire me" link on the web anywhere. Most people know and accept this as a fact. However, for some, when they get on the web, they lose all sense of reality.

"They just don't get it." as Dr. Phil says. The operations page is my best shot in helping people to "get it". Getting it means you understand assignment of responsibility. Who does the final responsibility of finding your job go to? If you picked anyone but yourself, go back and read the operations page again. There is nothing I can do for you at this time. I will not be able to help, advise, assist, or direct you in any way until we are in complete agreement as to who is ultimately responsible for you.

A lot of people write me asking for advice and I can tell from their questions they have not bothered to read my material (the instructions). I'm sure they've seen the page, I go out of my way to make sure everyone sees the instructions as to what is required. But having everyone see the page and having everyone read and understand it are two different things.

Some people, once they realize this is going to require effort on their part, are out of here faster than you can say oilrig. That's why the scam sites stay so busy. They cater to the fantasy job seeker who believes paying money guarantees them a job because the web site said it is so. They think (or have been led to believe) they can get out of the responsibility of making personal contact and follow ups by using "resumé blasting services" (more on these later).

By far, the easiest way to get an offshore, oilfield, oil rig maritime job is through the recommendation from someone who already works offshore. This is a simple and straight forward method. You call your brother, brother in law, uncle, etc., who works offshore and tell them you want a job. He then calls personnel, they find an opening for you, you go in for an interview and physical and PRESTO, you're on your way to the rigs.

While this is the most direct route known, and it is how many of the workers on the rigs get hired, the majority of people just do not have those kinds of connections. I'm going to walk you through, step by step, on how to get on.

This process has been developed from my own experience and the experience of others. While it is tried and true and has been proven to be the most reliable information available concerning the subject, it is not a guarantee. If you do everything exactly as I have outlined and still don't get a job:

Well, that's about all I know on how to get a an offshore job. I imagine it is more than enough to get you started in the right direction. If you know of anything I have missed, please let me know. I have been doing this for sometime now, but that certainly does not mean I know there all there is to know about the subject.
