Oil and Gas Question. No experience. Entry level jobs.

Go to the careers section of rigzone.com if you haven't already.

Also - what kind of position are you looking for? Are you wanting to be in the field?

What was the office job? Are those skills transferable to something an O&G company might want? What are your degrees in?

"Also - what kind of position are you looking for? Are you wanting to be in the field?"

I want a position that will pay well. If that means going offshore and drilling on a rig, no problem. If that means working 30 on 7 off rotations, no problem. I'm just trying to get in some way.

"kind of a broad question. roughneck, sales, land, etc?

no one is just going to throw you into a nice, good paying job with no experience unless you are willing to make next to nothing for a little while"

What are the hours? What's the job? Overtime time x 1.5/2?

"What was the office job? Are those skills transferable to something an O&G company might want? What are your degrees in? "

Higher education. O&G can utilize me in the office in some capacity (research, reports, spreadsheets). I am pretty much a clean slate in the oil arenas.

"Search button - try it.

There has to be 10 multi page threads you can pick from, this comes up at least once a week. "

Didn't see any specific as to what I was asking.

Field Operator Professional Program? Have any links to find how to apply to that?

"What is your degree in? I work in the business side of the O&G Industry."

My degree is in Liberal Arts, Community Development. What would be the best way to get in the business side of things with no MBA, finance/accounting, economics, marketing degree?

On this topic, what is hiring looking like right now for degreed people? Looking at eh&s potentially in O&G and will graduate in a year. Worked this summer with a consulting firm and deal with a lot of service companies

money needs to be one of his last determining factors though since he has zero experience. he has no bargaining power. they don't give a shite about your degree unless it's specific to the job you're applying for.

Go work for a contractor in billing (field billing if you can). Even if you have to break in in timekeeping, you'll move up quick if you are good. Timekeeping to cost control to project billing. You'll be dealing with several companies in the O&G field. Network, network, network. Talk to everyone, never complain, never talk bad about your company. Eventually you'll move up within your company or one of the plants will want to hire you.

Maybe you can work in scheduling. It seems like these folks are always in demand. Maybe take an online course in Microsoft projects or primavera and start applying. As soon as you're eligible get your pmp certification. You will definitely start at the bottom, but you can probably move up pretty quickly.
