get a job offshore companies

We were in contact with some offshore and human resources companies to clarify how the candidates' evaluation criteria are made, find out what was revealed by our newsroom

Offshore companies resume hiring, which despite the slow pace, there is a very large mobilization of the market in this regard. But in practice, professionals who work directly in operations don't want to know that, do they? Statistics, projections and economics are the trades of scholars and specialists in the field, but the practical worker who needs to earn his daily bread is haunted by two pertinent questions: “Where are the jobs and why am I not called for an interview”?

Jobs

Well, as we said before, we are still far from acceptable, but service providers such as Alphatec Engenharia, Elfe, Manserv, CSE / Aker, ABZ Serviços, Zarpa Crew, CEPEM, among many others, have been officially calling professionals in recent months, facts that triggered by recent oil auctions and restructuring in Brazilian exploration policies that increased the demand for services from oil companies.

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 kind of “omitted”, a scenario that today is very different. Just go to the website Baker Hughes ou na weatherford that you will see many Brazilian opportunities, for example.

Why am I not invited to an interview?

We decided to run after this information on demand from our readers, we spoke with some professionals in the sector, including managers of these companies, and we were impressed by what was reported. Here are the main points:

Badmouthing companies ⇒ Click Petróleo e Gás has many connections and direct contacts with these same organizations, which is why many of them browse and access our publications almost every day, this is natural, because they are also our main sources of information. Some tell us that they observe what you do on social networks and get very upset when you defame the company's name, saying that they only hire through referrals and that vacancies are bought. YES, YOUR SOCIAL PROFILES ARE BROKEN, IF YOU SPEAK BADLY ABOUT THE COMPANY PUBLICLY, IMAGINE BEHIND THE BACK!

Unidentified emails ⇒ when it comes to sending emails to companies, simply too many make fatal mistakes! It was reported to our team that the messages are not properly identified and when Click Petróleo e Gás publishes a selection process, for example, they receive thousands of resumes at once, so how do you stand out? Simple! If the vacancy calls for an Electrical Technician, with 2 years of experience and command of English, put the following in the title of the email: “Electrical Technician – 2 years experience – English”, there are people posting things like…”I need a job, I'm unemployed, how do I work with you.”… Which email do you think companies will open? It's obvious, isn't it?

Badly formatted resumes ⇒ Incredible as it may seem, the simplest of all cases are the ones that cause big problems. Portuguese mistakes, they don't put the period worked in the companies and poorly organized. Your CV is your gateway, it's your face and for each company you send it, it will be different!

Mass shipments outside your area of ​​operation ⇒ If you are one of those who keep sending resumes all the time and for any vacancy that appears, we have bad news: e-mail servers have anti-spam systems, they are able to identify when a message is excessive or inconvenient, probably the company wants to be aware of your candidacies. It has been reported that even gas station attendants have been applying for jobs offshore. Guys, frankly! O oil and gas industry is one of the most restricted on the planet, you must have many courses, qualifications and certifications, it is no use that without them there is no possibility of entering this branch. If you're with them, imagine without!

Go to the company only if requested ⇒ The company asks you to send CVs by email, even so, there are many who insist on laughing at the company's door. Human Resources will not leave the office to assist you whenever they want, at most the concierge will receive it, but honestly this method is not very effective, in addition to causing a lot of inconvenience.

We hope that some of these factors mentioned will help you to understand some of the main problems that cause “non-contact” by companies. There are millions of unemployed, it is impossible for companies to analyze all the CVs, to “be awarded” with a selection process, at least, it will be necessary to follow the procedures mentioned above, there is no other way! Click Petróleo e Gás is always close and in constant contact with them, so stay tuned for our news and opportunities, here are some reports from our followers:
