QUOTE(nnewbie @ Feb 24 2014, 06:45 PM) hi guys, any advises would be very much appreciated.. is it worth resigning from my current job as a mechanical designer (with electronic equipment based manufacturing company) and take a job offer with o&g consultant company? even with the potential of salary cut, i kind of fancies to take the o&g offer as it is what i want to be involved in. but risk losing good references from my current boss. only almost 4 months working out of 1 year bond, i find it hard to breach the contract..  Hi! As a recruiter, I encounter instances like this situation wherein you find an opportunity within your contract duration. Some companies sponsor to pay the bond for contractors, while others do not. If you see yourself really growing in that company (O&g consultancy) and working there for a long time, you can definitely establish a strong bond with your employer and will gain better references in the future. Depending on the level of relationship you have with your current boss, maybe you can speak to him and give him a heads up. However, if you feel that your current boss will influence your future employments then I suggest you stay on and finish your contract and start exploring again after you finish your bond. There are plenty of consulting companies in Oil and Gas and they are continuously hiring so do not fear that if you let go of this opportunity that it will not happen again. I hope it helps.

Hi guys, I would be very much appreciated if any of you guys can give me some advice..
My background experience is Mechanical Design (specialized in developing product such as electronic devices). I have also experience in using some CAD such as AutoCAD. Besides that, I have also taking online courses such as Project Management Professional (PMP) Training. I have been searching for Oil and Gas job for more than 2 years. With these experience, what kind of position that I can apply if i want to join oil and gas industry?
And also, I don't mind to start all over again in either a small or big firm. So, do you guys know what are the companies or firms that might accept engineer from different field just like me? Do I even have the chance to get one?
Hope to get some reply.. :)

QUOTE(zephyrus9999 @ Feb 25 2014, 09:27 AM) Well, we dont need to source for a very specific one, as mostly these certificates requires years of specialization skills that we lack. We look forward for one that is not complicated to finish, and junior-friendly. if you can list down those you know, that'll be great too thanks..
 . What scope of work are you looking at? QC?Safety?Technical?Skilled?.......etc etc... See what I mean. http://www.twi-global.com/ best training provider in most cases for construction and marine related matters. My best advice to you guys.....ask the right questions and you will get the right answers.

Maybe can try to get job with manufacturer specialize with oil & gas like cameron.

Hi, My tip is that you go through what Baker Hughes project/operations are at the moment. Also, do brush up on technical knowledge and make sure that you read up on the specific skill set that they are looking for. If I'm not mistaken.. round 1 (1st interview would usually be a technical assessment). What function are you entering? Cheers, Juvy
