Do you want your oil job resume to be read
or not?
Of course you do, then tell them what
they want to hear!
Cover Letter
This is vitally important as it catches the readers'
attention helping them to decide whether to read your oil job
resume, file it or throw it away.
The covering letter should be precise and to the point. It
should guide the potential employer to your particular
employment wishes.
Oil Job Resume
By now, you've probably mailed out some oil job
resumes.
Add up the cost of the stationary, resume and envelope
printing, putting resume in an envelope and mailing it - all
this can really add up!
If you send it cheap, folded and stuffed into a
regular sized envelope, you have no chance. Unfortunately,
in the employers' eyes it will look unprofessional and
probably won't even be read. To send your oil job resume
in a full sized envelope so that it looks professional
will cost you as much as $3.00 - just to send one nice
professional oil job resume!
FACT - At $0.37 per stamp, in postage alone you would spend
over $165 to send your resume to 500 of oil and gas employers!
(Most people are unable to find 500 employers who want their
resume).
The following is a typical example of oil job
resume:
My name is < your name >. I am very keen to work in
the offshore oil industry.
I am willing to start at the bottom and work my way up
within your organization. I am therefore looking for a job as a
Roustabout...
Please see my resume below.
Here are key phrases that offshore oil
companies love to hear. Choose the ones that suit you best and
include them in your cover letter:
- I like to fit in and get on well with people.
- I do not mind being away from home for long periods at
a time.
- I can take and carry out orders.
- I can be left un-supervised to get on with my
work.

Now that you have caught their attention, your next job is
