I used to be a very motivated students who studied extremely hard in order to step into oil and gas industry. After graduate, I manage to get my dream job in a big operator in my hometown. However, after nearly 2 years of working, I am so sad and unhappy with my own career development. Within these 2 years, I only get trained to use ONE software which is not applicable at outside. I don't get much chance to do other work related to my discipline's core subjects. I keep reflecting this to my boss but to no avail due to various reasons. When I was typing my CV, I really feel so sad as I don't have much to talk about under my experience except learning/using ONE software. Anyone can advise me should I continue to stay in this company hoping one day I get the chance to learn more & gain more experience or are there other ways to go?

if u can get a better offer,i'd say go for it.if u don't mind telling,what software u using?i think all softwares are applicable in their respective field.no point they train u if it's not marketable

Now I am holding quite a good salary but goyang kaki most of the time in office. So, I don't know which other companies will pay a good salary to someone who basically knows nothing in own discipline except ONE software which is not applicable outside. I am also not experienced enough to apply overseas job. I am totally lost of my future. That software is this company's proprietary software & the company doesn't market it outside so it is only useful in that company.

A software is just a tool. The most important thing is what the tool does which is probably what you should focus on when you write your CVs. There will be other software that does something similar to what you're doing. Don't just concentrate on the software part but concentrate on the product delivered by the software.

In my area of expertise, there are 3-4 leading edge software that does basically the same thing, so if you concentrate on the product it generates, then people can relate to what you're doing.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will get my CV done this few days, hopefully I can find my way out.
