I worked for weatherford when I left the garage, did workshop work on diesel units and hydraulic power tongs then got the chance to go offshore, a lot of my friends did it that way but the few that did the survival then went for a job struggled to find work but perseverance should see you land a job, try oilcareers.com , upload a cv and can apply for jobs on there onshore and offshore, once I had enough experience through weatherford I started looking for a new job and with my qualifications and offshore experience I landed the first job I applied for, mechanical technician with slumberger on cementing units , fucking awesome job love it, going away to the will hunter tomorrow morning , supposed to be a shit hole but I love the whole experience of it all!
