<br />
There's no doubt that jobs on oil rigs can be a great career. Many make it their life's work, and with a salary that could easily be double what you're earning onshore and holidays that beat any other full time job, it's easy to see why. This of course, also makes jobs on oil rigs a popular choice, particularly for new starters.<br />
Here are my top 3 tips on finding jobs on oil rig if you're just starting out.:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Get a great resume.</b> Often, for jobs on oil rigs, all you'll need to start is fitness, determination and a strong willingness to work. As you won't be meeting a potential employer face-to-face to ask for your first rig job, you'll need to make sure that comes across in your resume. Write a compelling cover letter that is to the point and demonstrates that you're willing to take on any task to get a career on the rigs. Employers like people that show initiative and eagerness. It's human nature.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Take a job even if you think it's beneath you.</b> Getting jobs on oil rigs and the job you actually want on the rigs is so much easier if you already have experience on the rigs. It may sound obvious, but often the only way to get experience is to take a position that might be beneath your skill level. Once you're on it's a lot easier to work your way up the ladder. Even the lowest paid jobs will have you earning anywhere up to $75,000 a year and get you up to 6 months holiday in every 12 so it's unlikely to be a step backwards.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>3. Get some help from the professionals.</b> Jobs on the rigs are very popular and very niche. There are plenty of companies willing to help you get the job you want at the salary you deserve. Make sure you do your research and then sign up with for some expert help from the people who know how to get your CV seen, getting you your <a href="http://www.oilrigjobsonline.info/" rel="nofollow" target="_new">first rig job</a> as quickly as possible.<br />

<br />
As the world searches for new oil fields which will replace those that are beginning to run dry, the number of available jobs on oil rigs are increasing.<br />
As with many professions, you'll find it easier to get work on an oil rig once you have some experience, but getting that first break may take a little time as safety concerns mean many supervisors are reluctant to hire those without prior experience, even for the unskilled positions.<br />
<br />
No formal qualifications are usually required to work on an oil rig but candidates with backgrounds in shipbuilding, construction and engineering are generally preferred. It may also be possible to join a rig as an apprentice. Wherever you start, there are many opportunities for advancement as you gain experience and skills.<br />
<br />
The most basic, entry level position available on an oil rig is known as a roustabout and involves manual laboring and maintenance tasks. This may include cleaning and painting the area around the drilling platform, moving equipment and supplies and helping to mix the lubricant for the drill bit, a substance known as mud.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The next step up from a roustabout is a roughneck. In this position you would be directly involved in the actual drilling process, helping to maintain the equipment and assisting with the adding of fresh lengths of pipe as the drill moves deeper underground.<br />
<br />
The next position is that of the derrickman, an operative who works up on the high mast that rises above the platform and supervises the positioning of the drill, the handling of new pipe sections and flow of lubricant.<br />
<br />
The next two positions - assistant driller and driller - are both highly skilled as any mistake in the placement of the drill or the rate of cutting - which varies according to the type of rock at different depths - could lead to a major accident.<br />
<br />
As well as being potentially dangerous, work on an oil rig is dirty, physically demanding and means you will be spending weeks at a time away from family and friends. On the positive side, the jobs are well paid and you can expect a high standard of food and accommodation during your time on the rig.<br />
<br />
For the sake of efficiency, you will most likely have only limited time off while actually on board, but you will be able to enjoy extended periods of shore leave which ultimately mean you will only end up working around half the months of the year, despite earning a full time salary.<br />
<br />
Regardless of where you are in the world, the opportunities, duties and day to day activities on a rig will be roughly the same. It may, of course, be significantly more enjoyable to be on a rig based in the Gulf of Mexico rather than one in the middle of the North Sea, but it's easy enough to adjust to the environment. It's also worth bearing in mind that colder weather jobs tend to offer higher pay and larger bonuses.<br />
<br />
Some workers prefer the good weather and travel around the world with the seasons. In order to prevent this, many companies will pay additional bonuses and offer other incentives to workers who remain with them for longer periods of time.<br />

<br />
If you are an out-of-work welder, take a look at <b>oil rig welding</b> jobs. Is there any industry that's in the news more than oil work? The world has an unquenchable thirst for the slippery black stuff. Demand is expected to go no where other than up.<br />
<br />
Think about oil rigs. The ones offshore are anchored to the ocean floor or are massive boats that float on the surface and are run by global positioning computers to stay in the same position. The one thing they all have in common is they are massive structures made out of metal. Metal that needs to be assembled and repaired. Much of the work occurs above the water line. Even these are well paid jobs usually in excess of $400-$500 per day.<br />
<br />
<b>The real money is made under the surface.</b><br />
Underwater welders must learn special skills. They often stay compressed for weeks at a time instead of spending time compressing and decompressing each dive. They live in special pressurized environments so they can spend more time working. Due to the added danger, these jobs pay much, much better.<br />
Many companies will pay for current employees to get additional underwater certification. The more work the company is qualified to do, the more jobs they will get so having certified underwater welders on staff gets them more work.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This is a field with more demand than they have employees to fill them. This may come as a surprise to you. It seems that during a recession, many people are having a hard time finding work. Yet here is a field that is crying for people and can't find enough. Many people who used to work in auto repair shops and factories already are qualified for the above water jobs. Coincidentally, these are also the jobs that have many people who are laid off but don't know about oil rig jobs.<br />
<br />
You can hire an employment agency to try to find you your first job. The fees will be paid out of your first years earnings. It may be as high as 30% of your income. To get a new job in a great industry, this may not be a deterrent. However, there is a cheaper way that works just as well.<br />
<br />
Many Internet job sites specialize in the oil industry. They may even have a special section for oil rig welding jobs. Instead of paying thousands, you usually pay less than $100 for a lifetime subscription. You can use the site anytime you want to change jobs in the future. Some will even blast your resume out to all the companies that are currently looking for oil rig workers. This method seems to work faster and cheaper than any other method.<br />
<br />
There are many companies and people who will offer to help you find a job in the oil and gas fields for a fee. I recommend you try to do it on your own first and if that fails, go to an employment agency who specializes in oil work. This can be expensive but is usually worth it.<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Are you laid off and don't know where to turn? Do you keep getting turned down for jobs because you don't have any special training? Are you not the type of person to go to college but still want to make a good living? Oil rigs are hiring. In fact there are more oil rig jobs than there are applicants, if you know where to look.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did you know that most of the big oil companies don't do the actual drilling for oil themselves? They hire private contractors like Haliburton to actually do the work. That's the mistake most people make when applying for oil rig jobs. They apply at the wrong companies. Big companies like Exxon may have online applications, but they rarely have entry level positions because those positions are employed by the contractors.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So how do you find the contractors who hire the oil rig workers? You can spend hours doing research on the Internet but still wont know if the companies you come up with are hiring. Then you'll have to contact them one-by-one to see if they have any job openings. Some people will actually call the companies but most will send an email and lie to themselves that they really have tried to find a job. Most of the companies you come up with probably won't have oil rig jobs for workers with no experience because you'll most likely be thinking of only the big companies. Remember, the actual work on the rig is done by contractors. If you can't find them, you'll be wasting your time. Probably the only thing you will accomplish is to become more frustrated than you already are. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So here is a basic formula for finding your first job on an oil rig. There are various general employment sites on the Internet that have job listings. Companies pay a fee of about $100 per week to list their job openings for 14 days. Or they can pay $650 to search resumes of people looking for work. The problem is you will be competing with thousands of people from all over the world who also use the website. But more than that, an entry level general laborer position doesn't have a lot of requirements beyond being in good physical condition. Why would a company pay over $500 to find general laborers?</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The answer is they won't. They wait for people to call them. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are employment websites that specialize in oil rig work. They will allow you to post your resume for free. They also charge companies for access to their resume database. There is a chance they will see your resume and offer you a job if you have experience, but usually they are looking for experienced help. But the best way is to be a little more pro-active. Take your future into your own hands.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You need to call the employers who have openings yourself.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is an oil rig employment site will blast your resume to over 1200 oil companies in their database for a small fee. If any of the 1200 companies has a job opening, it is likely they will see your resume. For someone with no experience in oil work, it is pretty hit or miss. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some websites have employees that call all the oil companies in the database and ask if they have any openings. They list the openings in a weekly newsletter. In most cases, all you need to do is to call the employer. This is the most effective way to get a job. Calling the employer shows that you are a go getter. You don't wait for things to happen. You go out and do it yourself. This is the kind of employee most companies are looking for. This will start the ball rolling. They will tell you what the next step is. They may ask you to come in for an interview or they may ask you to fax documents. Its as easy as that.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I recommend you apply at many companies at the same time. Some will have already filled the opening and others may be looking for future jobs that are several months away. If you get more than one offer, you can choose the best. Wages and conditions may vary. All will provide meals and a place to sleep. Many will include a plane ticket to and from your home. Its all part of the perks working for companies that are awash in profits.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are willing to face a certain amount of physical danger to earn more money, you should look at no experience jobs on oil rigs. There are few places where someone without a college education can make $50,000 a year. In fact, jobs in the oil industry have some of the highest salaries in the world, easily comparable to the sin industries of tobacco and alcohol. Here is a short list of the work available on an offshore oil rig where you can get paid the big bucks to do honest, hard, sweaty labor.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>1. Roustabouts</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A roustabout provides general labor, doing almost everything on board the oil rig. He is the muscle, cleaning and painting the oil rig, and carrying, storing, setting up various pieces of equipment. On more complicated jobs, for example, when carrying out certain tasks on the drill floor, he will work under the supervision of the roughneck. If you play computer strategy games, the roustabout is basically guy who does all the basic work like the peon, peasant, drone, probe, SCV and what not. For all his sweat and hard work, he takes home $45,000 to $55,000 a year, better than many white collar jobs.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>2. Steward</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you have ever worked in the hospitality industry, you will know all about this job. For those who are unfamiliar, the typical duties include helping out in the kitchen, doing the laundry and cleaning the accommodations. The only difference is that you will be working on board an offshore oil instead of a hotel or cruise ship. For facing the risk of the oil platform exploding, the salary goes up to $45,000 per year.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>3. Rig Welder</b></div><span class="zemanta-img separator" style="clear: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8623220@N02/2179856314" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Welder making boilers for a ship, Combustion E..." height="195" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/2179856314_f46790ec91_m.jpg" style="border: medium none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="240" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; width: 240px;">Image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8623220@N02/2179856314">The Library of Congress</a> via Flickr</span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Calvin_Loh">Calvin Loh</a></span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A skilled welder in the dying manufacturing industry can easily make the transition to rig welder. Due to government regulations, rig welders need trade certification (CITB for the United Kingdom, AWS for the United States). For daring to work on top of the ocean instead of on dry land, the welder doubles his salary from $30,000 on dry land to $60,000 on the offshore platform.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>4. Scaffolders</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Like a scaffolder in the construction industry, a scaffolder on board an offshore oil rig works in high places. Some companies need their scaffolders to be certified, others do not. Even compared to other oil rig jobs, this is considered rather dangerous. That is why he is paid an extra $10,000 more than the roustabout.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>5. Radio Operator</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Obvious from the description. Easy and boring, but critical, which explains the $60,000 salary.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>6. Medic</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Again, no description needed. Most medics are ex-nurses. Salary is around $70,000.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>7. Storeman</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Same duties as a storeman on dry land, but gets a higher salary of $60,000.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>8. Painter</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you painted tall apartment buildings for a living, you should think about switching over to an offshore oil platform. There is slightly more risk, but you also get a lot more pay. Salary: $58,000.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>9. Motorman</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Basically the junior mechanic, maintaining and repairing the machines. For an increased salary (compared to a normal mechanic on land) of $58,000, sometimes has to do repairs in high places while suspended from a crane.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>10. Electrician</b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In charge of making sure all the electrical equipment works (even the light bulbs). Unlike a normal electrician, needs to have a head for heights - some of the work will be done while hanging from a crane. Salary: $65,000.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These are the 10 entry level jobs on oil rigs which do not need prior experience on an oil rig and do not need a college degree. The roustabouts and stewards do not need any kind of trade certification. The other positions may need a trade certification.<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are interested in entering the oil industry then you need to be sure you have got what it takes to apply for these positions. There are a few aspects that need to be taken into consideration when you are thinking about joining this industry. If you have had little or no previous experience then you will need to work at an entry level job and work up.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The easiest way to improve your chances are to work for an onshore oil rig company first or complete a Fire-fighter or basic offshore survival certificate. This training is not required but may increase your chances of getting the job you want. When you work at an onshore company you will be trained to use the equipment safely and learn how to oil rigs work. Onboard there will be classroom-based training as well as practical training. Over time you will be given the chance to move forward and apply for work that is more demanding and better paid. Starting off at an entry-level job you can expect a salary of US 50,000 a year and upwards. This amount may vary depending on your contract with the Oil Company. Do not be put off if you may think you are too old. There are many people who work on an oilrig will into there 60's! Provided you are in good health, physically able and pass the required medical certificate you are an ideal candidate for the oil rig industry.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To be successful in obtaining work, be sure you are physically strong and able, as this work can be very demanding. If you know someone who works within the industry, ask them to put a word in for you as the company is more likely to hire someone who has a good reference from someone who already works there. If you need to begin at the bottom and work your way up, then you will probably work as a roustabout or roughneck. When you apply for these jobs, be sure to mention any previous experience you may have had to anything relating to oil industry work. This could include trade experiences. If the company considers you a good worker and competent, they may then offer you another job that is more difficult and demanding. Salaries start of at US 50,000 a year or US $300 a day and work up to US 100,000 a year. If you want to work overseas then you can earn up US 220,000. Living offshore may be hard the first time but over time as you adjust you will be more comfortable.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are a few general guidelines to living offshore: You may be required to work a nightshift, as an oilrig is a 24-hour operation. Be sure to not upset the chef, medic or radio operator, as you may need medical attention, food and helicopters. When you have your meal, take off your work outfit and eat in the galley. When you submit your CV to oil companies, make sure your CV stands out from the rest. You can do this by using coloured paper and strong font. Make sure there are no spelling mistakes, as this may not seem to important at least they know you have taken time to prepare a good CV. Ensure the writing is easy to read and if you can type it out on a computer and print it out. Include a cover letter stating exactly what you hope to obtain.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are safety issues to consider when working in the oil industry. When you arrive on an oil rig you will be issued with a hard hat and work goggles. These are usually required to be worn when working around dangerous areas.
