We Have Been In Touch With Some Offshore And Human Resources Companies To Clarify How Candidate Evaluation Criteria Are Made, Here’s What Our Editorial Team Revealed
Offshore companies are resuming hiring, and despite the slow pace, there is a significant mobilization in the market in this regard. But in practice, professionals who work directly in operations do not want to hear about it, right? Statistics, projections, and economics are the crafts of the literate and scholars in the field, but the practical worker who needs to put food on the table is haunted by two pertinent questions: “Where are the jobs, and why am I not being called for an interview?”
Jobs
Well, as we mentioned earlier, we are still far from acceptable, but service-providing companies like Alphatec Engineering, Elfe, Manserv, CSE / Aker, ABZ Services, Zarpa Crew, CEPEM among many others, have been officially calling professionals in recent months, facts triggered by recent oil auctions and the restructuring of Brazilian exploration policies that have increased the demand for oil companies’ services.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
The market in our country has also opened up to foreign companies, although some have had operations in Brazil for some time, information about selection processes was somewhat “omitted,” a scenario that is quite different today. Just visit the website of Baker Hughes or Wheatherford and you will see many Brazilian opportunities, for example.
Why Am I Not Being Called For An Interview?
We decided to chase after this information at the request of our readers; we talked to some professionals in the sector, including managers of these companies, and we were impressed by what was reported. Let’s cite the main points:
Badmouthing Companies ⇒ Click Oil and Gas has many connections and direct contacts with these same organizations; because of this, many of them navigate and access our publications almost every day, which is natural since they are also our main sources of information. Some report that they observe what you do on social media and are very upset when you defame the company’s name, saying that they only hire by referrals and that positions are bought. YES, YOUR SOCIAL PROFILES ARE TAGGED; IF YOU BADMOUTH THE COMPANY PUBLICLY, IMAGINE BEHIND THEIR BACKS!
Unidentified Emails ⇒ When it comes to sending emails to companies, many make fatal mistakes! It was reported to our team that messages are not properly identified, and when Click Oil and Gas publishes a selection process, for example, they receive thousands of CVs at once, so how to stand out? Simple! If the job asks for an Electrical Technician, with 2 years of experience and English proficiency, put the following in the email subject: “Electrical Technician – 2 years of experience – English,” there are people putting things like “I need a job, I’m unemployed, how do I work with you…” Which email do you think the firms will open? It’s obvious, isn’t it?
Poorly Formatted Resumes ⇒ Surprisingly, the simplest of all cases is one that causes significant problems. Portuguese errors, failing to include the period worked at companies, and being poorly organized. Your CV is your entry point; it’s your face, and for each company you send it to, it should be different!
Mass Submissions And Outside Your Area Of Expertise ⇒ If you are someone who keeps sending resumes all the time and for every job that appears, we have bad news: Email servers have anti-spam systems; they can identify when a message is excessive or inappropriate. Probably, the company isn’t even aware of your applications. It was reported that even gas station attendants have applied for offshore positions. Folks, frankly! The oil and gas sector is one of the most restricted in the world; you must have many courses, qualifications, and certifications. It’s useless without them, as there is no chance of entering this sector. If you have them, imagine without!
Visit The Company Only If Requested ⇒ The company asks that you send your CVs via email; even so, many insist on showing up at the company’s door. Human Resources will not leave the office to meet you whenever you feel like it; at most, the receptionist will receive you, but honestly, this method is not very effective and causes many disturbances.
We hope that some of these factors help you realize some of the main issues causing the “no contact” from companies. There are millions of unemployed people; it is impossible for companies to analyze all resumes. To be “awarded” with a selection process, it is necessary to at least follow the procedures mentioned above; there is no other way! Click Oil and Gas is always close and in constant contact with them, so stay tuned to our news and opportunities. Here are some reports from our followers:
