Can some of you more experienced guys give me some advice as I have no experience of the oil industry?

Ive been for interviews with Oceaneering ref Trainee Tooling Technician and more recently with subsea 7 for trainee ROV pilot / tech.

Hoping for the best that I get offers from both(probably get neither).

I am well confused the interviews were so rapid and I now have loads of Qs I wished Id asked

Whats the pros and cons of the companies and the jobs
Cheers for any advice!!!!!

Swill,

The first thing I’d do is, go look at their web sites.

Did you enjoy the psycho test with S-Club-7?

Matt.

One of the first things I look at when I reply to you is your profile location, you could go back and amend. I say this because any advice is location based e.g. if its Aberdeen then they can get you as and when in the base, less expenses and more North sea work etc. or if you work state side or Canada then previous exp is a must. This also helps when we take piss of course for the few Aussie posts and Thai ex pats blah blah.

Remember that HR will have your post/zip code very near the top of there hire criteria a sort of positive discrimination you will not know about.

Is that positive discrimination, or Postal discrimination?

Positive Postal Discrimination!

The closer you live to their office, the better it is for them (in their mind). Means base work is cheap as you live there already, and they love to fly people out of the nearest airport to their office (seems to go for all ROV companies!)

[magician2000]

Well… As long as you don’t have anyone go postal on you that could be considered a Positive…

Does the term going postal have the same meaning over here on your side of the Pond as it does in the States?

[Savante]

postal = radio rental (that’s cokernay riiming slung for mental).

[magician2000]

We have another term for mental… Someone would be 5150… 5150 is the police radio term for a nut case… Postal would usually involve the use of a firearm… and more than one dead body…
