As the media report all around the world about the slowing economy , there is still an industry that is going strong, the oil industry. As more and more people lose their jobs there is no better time to consider an new career.
The oil industry offer many different work opportunities from the office to the rig, however the biggest growth at these days is in the production of oil. When Transocean and GlobalSantaFe merged in 2007, they reported an order backlog of $33 billion. Also as a result of 5 new oil rigs being built from Noble Corporation in 2009-2011 will require around 1500 new jobs
These numbers are very strong and give oil companies many reasons to continue investing in drilling, oil exploration, production and more oil rigs to help feed the exploding India and China markets.
The production of oil around the world is either onshore or offshore. You may have seen an offshore oil rig just in the Gulf of Mexico or even on the coast of California.
One of the great things about the oil industry is that it is not going to shut down any time soon. Every day recruiters are looking for new faces. In fact, almost 300 new offshore jobs are added online every week. You just have to know where to find them.
