AN OPEN LETTER TO TANZANIANS STRUGGLING TO LAND JOB IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR

Have you ever  feel?
You write the great resume, You have great grades, You have practical experiences,
But that’s not all
You send resume to hundreds of oil companies, You ask referrals for friends and relatives
People tell you oil and gas industry is a highly paid and rewarding career.. So You want to bank six figure starting salary  working  in the oil and gas industry
But you’re simply not getting the response you deserve, Nobody calls for an interview, no one values your qualification and experiences. You feel your effort are not paying off
Very  , very  frustrating
You feel you’re wasted. And it hurts when you hear oil companies have pause hiring faces low crude price.
Don’t worry
We’ve all been there. Is there any best way for recent environment to land your dream oil and gas job?
So, yes, there is a way. And it all comes down to this
Why the current situation of oil and gas jobs it’s terrible? Fair enough  but the reason is cheap crude oil prices
Have you already hear about that, Right?
That means crude oil price below $ 50 per barrel. And for this reason, 2015 has been difficult year in the oil and gas sector
What oil and gas company have been doing since price falling in mid-2014? They just fire employees.They shut down projects. To cope with low oil prices
Oil layoff hits 200,000 in October 2015 and here are results of laid off workers in major  oil and gas companies
•    Schlumberger has fired more than 20,000 approximately 15% of its staff
•    Halliburton has laid off 18,000 employee
•    Weatherford has laid off 14,000 workers
•    Baker Hughes – 13,000 employees has laid off
•    Royal dutch shell-70,000
Note, In the figure above including Tanzanian

Still there open door for you                                           
 Although oil companies have been slow down in hiring, the future oil and gas jobs market are interesting. Employees retired, others are terminated. Guess what will happen? New talents would be in dire demand to fill vacant positions. And the door will be open for you especially when crude prices goes up.
Where are oil and gas are currently booming (best way to get into the industry)
Can you manage to wait until the oil price pick up? In the situation you want living, you want to pay the bill, you want to go the beach with your loved one? Yes, you can’t
What if I told you some place  oil and gas jobs are booming?
If you focus on the upstream segment (exploration and production sector) of the industry to look for jobs,
 Schlumberger would not listen to you, Halliburton would not listen to you, baker Hughes the same.

If oil and gas industries are your passion I recommend you to go in the downstream sector(marketing and selling ) is where there are hope to find new jobs!

Downstream sector is currently booming benefit from access cheap oil.
Why is refining sector booming? It’s simple! Because it’s works that way.
Downstream sector is dealing with selling of petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline, lubricants etc. However, the current low crude prices do not hurt them as they generate windfall profit
Struggling to get the oil and gas Jobs?
Yes, Just get it done an trust me  you’d happy you did
