It is very hard to get a job on the offshore rigs without some experience first. I would start looking for some entry level jobs first and then go from there. You have to have a lot of safety training for the rigs and most companies are not going to the expense of training someone without first knowing the work habits of the individual. You can pay for these classes yourself and include them on your resume and you should get picked up pretty quick.

Have you looked into filing for unemployment?  There are many misconceptions about when people are or are not eligible.  Even if you think you aren't, you might be eligible.\n\nYou could try a temporary agency.  There are many out there, and they require varying levels of experience and skills.\n\nYou could also try finding a casual labor job.  Construction contractors and farmers (as well as many other types of businesses) frequently hire casual labor on a temporary basis.  Because there is very little paperwork and few obligations for the employer, these positions are easy to get if you can find them.\n\nAlso, if you have things that are worth money that you don't absolutley HAVE to have, you could try selling them or getting a collateral loan from a pawn broker to tide you over until you find work.

Whatever you do DO NOT PAY  A COMPANY YOU FIND ON THE INTERNET TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR RESUME. There is an operator in Calgary, Canada that operates under several names that will charge you a few hundred dollars and sometimes even promise you a job. He will then send you a number of phony emails that appear to be from companies like Halliburton that are forged and illegitimate. He will eventually complain that the reason you didn't get a job is that you were not qualified. This operation is a FRAUD. They do not send out resumes and refuse to give refunds whenever possible. There are some other operators like this working in Nigeria. You do not need to pay anyone to find an offshore job. I know because I work in the industry.\n\n\nOne place you can look is www.rigzone.com on the jobs board. I did a search on welders and found 13 jobs posted:\nhttp://www.rigzone.com/jobs/search_job_results.asp\n\nThere was one company in Columbus, TX looking for 35+ welders. They had a job fair at the end of January, but may still be hiring. \nhttp://www.rigzone.com/jobs/job_posting.asp?p_id=10845\nHere is an ad from Todco:\nhttp://www.rigzone.com/jobs/job_posting.asp?p_id=10933\n\nIf you are not in North America, www.oilcareers.com is a legitimate site that lists primarily UK jobs:\nhttp://www.oilcareers.com/content/categories/welder.asp\n\nIn Australia McConnell Dowell appears to looking for welders:\nhttp://www.macdow.com.au/\n\nGood luck.

Fly to Mackay or any mine town in Queensland or the rest of Australia and go to the local pub when you get there.  Ask a few of the locals or even the bartender,  you will get a job within a day,  they are screaming for people to work at the moment.  Good luck its hard yakka  ")

I dont know all the answers to your questions, but growing up and working in an oilfield industry town I can tell you a bit of the process to help you understand the high costs of pulling this stuff out of the ground.\n\nSo first to figure out where the oil and gas is companies that are into exploration for oil and gas will hire seismic crews.  These crews go out into slected areas to set off little explosions in the ground to measure densitiy to see if there could potentially be oil and gas in the area.  These crews usually consist of two to three men and  a truck and sometimes a helicoptor.  Helicoptors up here cost about 1000 dollars an hour.\n\nBecause this is an oil field town jobs are in abundance and to attract employees employers must fork out big wages benfitis and attractions.\n\nSo if they find a place they may think there is oil, they call up a surveyor to come and survey for potential well locations.\nThis is very expensive, a crew must come out for a few days costing anywhere from 1200 to 2500 a day depending on what is envolved (long drives helicoptors ect.)  Then they must pay crown fees and fees to land owners if they are going on their land.\n\nThen they will hire rigs to drill these holes to see if there is gas or oil in there, now the prices of these are just outragous, I have no idea how much exactly.  If there is oil or gas its pumped out of the ground.\n\nThen the pipelines must be built.  Travles through the pipelines to the refineries.  These pipelines must be maintained.  Once a week helicoptors fly out to the piplines to check for leaks and to run pigs through to clean out the pipelines\n\nGetting oil and gas out of  the ground costs big money and the profits are quiet a small percent.  I may not have answered your questions exactly, but I am sure this will help some how.\n\nSo the rest of the profits which is very small go into the greedy grubby hands of the oil and gas exploration companies.\n\nWhen you gas up at a station, the station only gets a 2 cent profit per/L or G.  Its a pretty small profit for gas stations, they make their real money on the things they sell inside the station.\n\nAlthough the profit percent is small, the quantity is high and the oil and gas companies make a good profit.\n\nEDITED TO SAY:\n\nWe would not save money by buying over here.  Alot of gas and oil come from where I live.   The reason oveer seas gets shipped in is because labour over there is cheap.  The standards are low and many people die in the oil field over seas because of it.\nHere wages are high because of danger, we have standards and safety programs.  I would not doubt if shipping in the crude oil is cheaper.

If you have 20 years experience, you should have 20 years worth of contacts built up. Everything from commercial to resort.\n It doesn't sound like either. You should be a member of one of a slew of professional diving organizations by now and almost all of them have job boards. It would also be helpful if you mentioned what sort of Instructor you are. PADI ? NAUI? SSI? IANTD?TDI? and on and on. If you posted back under additional details I might be able to help you.\n Additionally, diving supervisors are NOT what resorts are looking for. Multi language DM's and Instructors yes, supers, nope. Oil rig time.

Most companies require some safety training, but they will provide this in most cases. Most companies in the US will require you to complete a physical exam and a drug test. They may x-ray your back to make sure you can be insured by their insurance company.  Many jobs require no special  formal education, but some jobs will require US Coast Guard certifcation, and others will require college degrees.\n\nIn the UK there are more formal rquirements for offshore work training, including Basic Offshore Safety and Emergency Training. If you want to look into this training go to:\nhttp://www.oilcareers.com/content/training/courses_search.asp?courseType=Basic%20Offshore%20Skills\n\nThe real answer to this question is that you have to have skill that is useful on an oil rig. Workers on an oil rig range from engineers of many types, to roustabouts which are mostly there as manual laborers.  Rig based jobs include cooks, painters, sandblasters, divers, diver tenders, welders, pipefitters, crane operators, drillers, toolpushers, geologists, ship captains, mechanics, pilots, ROV operators, instrument technicians, and more. \n\nMany of these jobs will involve working and living offshore in cramped quarters for two weeks or more at a time. You may even be sharing a bunk with another shift. Some areas like the North Sea or Middle East can have very unpleasant weather. You are likely to work long hours while on the rig sometiimes as many as 100 hours per week. Most companies will then give you two weeks off after you return to shore. This can be good or bad, depending on how regular the work is. Some companies hiring unskilled labor will provide work only as they need you, and leave you sitting onshore the rest of the time. \n\nDO NOT PAY ANY SERVICE YOU FIND ON THE INTERNET TO GET YOU A JOB ON AN OIL RIG. THESE ARE SCAMS. THERE IS ONE OPERATOR OUT OF CALGARY THAT GUARANTEES JOBS BUT DOES NOTHING BUT TAKE YOUR MONEY  AND THEN WILL IGNORE YOU. THEY WILL NOT FIND YOU A JOB. THERE ARE SOME OTHERS WORKING OUT OF NIGERIA THAT DO THE SAME.
