First, though, you should know who has put together this kit. As you''ll discover, Ralph Vaden has been there
He had the priviledge of being the first American fully trained EMS Paramedic to work in West Africa for a major drilling contractor there. During his career he has worked assignments aboard Drilling Rigs, Offshore Platforms as well as seismic research vessels. During this time he has made many friends in the industry worldwide and is as "connected" as any one man can be in the industry......"this guy knows everybody!" An avid writer, he composed the
"Offshore Employment Kit" during idle time at sea on a lengthy hitch. He had
been instrumental in obtaining jobs in the oilfield for several friends and
aquaintances on several occasions and finally decided to write down his contact
information for future use.
If you’ve been to Offshore Guides (and you should visit it) you know Captain Edwards is the real deal. He isn’t about to recommend something that won’t work. Since he wrote these comments, the Offshore Employment Kit has more than doubled in size, so you're going to save even more search time. But not
only did Captain Ron appreciate the kit, he helped in the latest revision by
writing a special bonus report just for you, to help you with one of the most
difficult parts of finding offshore oil jobs.
You’ll get a special bonus report
called
He has worked in the oil industry since 1972, and has helped thousands of people find employment through his popular website. As Captain Ron points out in the report: “I am amazed over and over again about people and their resumés. One of the hardest things to do in the job hunting process is to write an effective resumé. I have seen thousands of resumés of people from the bottom of the bottom to the top of the top, and 90 plus percent of them need some serious help!” His
special report packs enough inside information to give your resumé the cutting
edge...
Part of the report deals with the nasty problem of Resumé Blasting. These are the websites we mentioned earlier that offer to send out your resumé to what is supposed to be a huge list of all the oil-related companies. They claim you’ll start getting offers and replies almost immediately. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But
as Captain Edwards will make clear in the bonus report, almost all companies
consider these emailed resumés as unwanted spam. You're job search is dead in
the water before you've started. They trash your resumé without even reading it.
Professional resumés get interviews! You won't get a second chance to make a good first impression. You have to get everything right the first time, and this special report is designed to show you exactly how to do it. We want
to help you get started today, so you'll also receive our "Eye-Grabbing" Resume'
Builder, designed to guide you step-by-step to a powerful resume' / CV, proven
to get the attention of even the busiest personnel managers (more about that in
a moment). Used with Captain Edwards' advice, you'll have a winner.
The
Offshore Employment Kit will also help answer some of the frequently asked
questions about working in the offshore oil industry, for example...
Where are the Jobs?
By far the vast majority of Drilling Rig (and related) jobs in North America are around the USA Gulf Coast. Other active areas include Canada, Alaska, the North Sea, South America, West Africa, and the Middle East just to mention a few. If you are interested in a particular area of the world almost every major player in the industries is represented worldwide. "Hotbeds" of activity for the offshore industries are of course Greater Houston, Texas... Lafayette, Louisiana... Morgan City, Louisiana... the Mississippi coastal ship building towns...Mobile, Alabama as well as most seaport cities along the Gulf Coast. Don't be dismayed however if you do not live near the Gulf Coast of the U.S. Offshore work is structured so that you will work a certain amount of weeks ON with an equal amount of time OFF. Offshore workers live in almost every state of the U.S. and don't mind an interstate commute just once a month (even less) in order to live in their native areas. They enjoy the plentiful time off. (more on the work schedules in "the Kit")
Again, international readers will note that nearly all of the employers and
contractors listed in our report have international offices even though their
headquarters are located in Houston (the majority) or another oil and maritime
centers worldwide.
What is the Work Schedule?
You can expect to be on your boat, rig or platform for periods of time followed by equal (usually) periods of time off. These are known as "hitches". They vary from employer to employer e.g.: 1 week ON and 1 week OFF; 2 weeks ON and 2 weeks OFF......and so on, up to 5 weeks on / off depending on the employer and location of the project. Generally speaking, rigs in the Gulf of Mexico work 2 week/2 week schedules with those working further out in deeper water working 3 week/3 week hitches. Ocean going tugs, towboats and pipeline barges sometimes stay out until the project is finished which can be an indefinite time. The money you'll be making on these longer assignments will be tremendous, plus the fact that you won't be spending anything out of pocket! Speaking of time at work this is a good time to speak of family life. It would be wise to prepare your loved ones for an extended time away from them. Telephones and e-mail are available on most rigs or boat (full-time on fixed platforms) but never count on it. Rigs in some remote areas of the world and those "under tow" may be out of touch for some time. Single people have it better in this respect. Even if you have a family, it can be worked out prior to your leaving. Be sure to emphasize to them the time off to be with them when you return. We advise setting up automatic payment arrangements with you banking institution to take care of important bills such as mortgage payments, car payments, phone bills etc. Most employers are aware of this consideration and offer direct-deposit payroll. Be aware that your time "out there" is followed by lots of time off to pursue another business, hobby or just to enjoy life a bit. You'll come home to a nice amount of money in the bank if you play your cards right! We are
aware at this time of a LA employer who contracts to Seismic survey boats that
work 5 weeks/5 weeks in
Now for the burning
question...How much will I make?
You'll have to purchase our report for complete answers. Please understand that
we must speak here in generalizations as we have no control over wages and
employers pay scales but as a rule of thumb there are few persons working
offshore making less than $ 1000.00 per week worked even in the lowest of
unskilled jobs. We
The "oilfield" is known for fast promotions and advancement to those who show willingness to learn and to work conscientiously. Call around and get your best deal but remember....no matter how much you'll make per year, you'll actually earn it in 6 months (on the average) with the other 6 months OFF!
Read more on this subject in our "Offshore Employment Kit."
What is the Fastest / Easiest
way to an Offshore Job?
We recommend that the Unskilled / First-timer / College students seek employment with one of the Catering contractors listed in our "Offshore Employment Kit". Other opportunities exist such as Deckhands, Painters, Laborers (roustabouts) Tank cleaners, Sandblasters and others mentioned in the report. Skilled and experienced Tradesmen should check with all contractors and employer listed in our "Offshore Employment Kit" as salaries vary by location,demand and employer but expect to make considerably more than a "land job" either way and enjoy all of the other offshore benefits as well. As we
mentioned earlier, if you work hard and show initiative you won't be at the
bottom for very long. But the lowest paid guy on the rigs gets the same food and
flies in the same helicopter as the Project Manager under most circumstances, so
don't be too proud to take an entry-level position. The benefits of working
offshore are still great. Right now, the oilfield is in a long awaited upturn
and hiring is beginning to be brisk!
We've added a new special bonus report on finding oil and construction jobs in Iraq. Everyone looking for jobs in this business has heard about the big money people are making with companies like Halliburton and KBR over in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. But they are only two of the companies operating there. This special report will offer many more leads of companies with contracts in that part of the world. It is based on our sister website called Danger Zone Jobs .com, which deals with finding jobs in Iraq and other dangerous places. But just importantly, it will help you be aware of the Iraq job scams floating around. All the scams have several things in common. They have a "hurry up or you'll miss out" aura about them, they all want a fee upfront and they dangle salaries of $3,000 to $5,000 a week or more. There are some other red flags that should put people on their guard, especially if they are looking for high-paying jobs rebuilding Iraq. The special report will point out what those red flags are.

mentioned earlier...

questions asked, no hard feelings and risk free to you.
But why all this for only $19? Seems
like a cheap price...
The answer is simple. We do the research and then many people buy it. We're not involved in finding individual jobs for individual people, so we don't have alot of overhead costs. Our Kit is designed to help people help themselves in the process of finding a job in the oil industry, and the internet makes it inexpensive to produce. If you were willing to spend a few hours every day for two or three weeks you can find the information you need on the web. But you have to figure out where to look and that takes too much time. So in reality the most important thing our Kit offers is convenience. You've heard "time is money" and it's really true when you're looking for your next job.
So, $19 seems like a fair price for all the benefits. A higher price would just
be getting greedy.
