Offshore Oil Rig Jobs

Offshore oil rig jobs can make for a very unique career. If you're thinking about applying as an employee on an offshore drilling operation, it's best to do your research first! Also, don't make the mistake of trying to get hired without the help of a professional agency. 99% of the time, this is an exercise in futility! Below is an excerpt from an informative article on oil rig jobs.

Jobs On Offshore Oil Rigs:"To be successful in seeking offshore employment, you must be willing to do what average and ordinary people are not willing to do. First of all, there’s likely to be travel involved with your job. Ron Edwards, for example, has been at it since 1972 and has worked alongside Americans, Spaniards, Brazilians, Norwegians, Dutchmen, Mexicans, Englishmen, Philippines and Australians. He says he’s seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, but he’s made a lot of friends, as well as a few acquaintances that were not quite so friendly. His only regret is he didn’t get started sooner. Do not be misled by any rumors you might hear about the kind of people who work offshore."
