A tough economy and low oil prices should not worry those searching for a roustabout job. While oil prices are low, nations around the world still rely heavily on oil, spending four hundred billion dollars for oil so far this year. Informed individuals will eventually find themselves a lucrative roustabout job.
1. For the last hundred years or so, newspaper advertisements have been an excellent source for finding positions within companies. The local newspaper will likely be the only source needed for those living in or near an oil town. For those not located within a region that produces oil, your local library may provide access to several state and national newspapers. There is no need to buy them, just make copies.
2. The internet has a host of very useful tools in the form of free message boards such as Monster.com, as well as other websites that allow job seekers to post resumes and search through job lists. Also, be aware that while many oil companies typically post only office and managerial positions, you may be able to find roustabout positions listed on occasion.
3. Word of mouth is another, sometimes overlooked method. Tap your network connections and inform as many people as possible that you are seeking an entry level position within the oil industry. Your family and friends are an excellent starting point for your search, after them there are old classmates, ex-colleagues and anybody else you may interact with on a day to day basis. While it is not likely that these contacts will be able to help you, there is a chance that one of them may know someone within the industry that can point you in the right direction. MLM and real estate agents use this tactic with great success, why shouldn’t you take advantage of it as well?
Due to the extremely high use of the first two methods discussed for finding roustabout jobs, you will likely find talking to people a much more productive use of your time during your job search. Recruitment agents frequently recommend this very social method; however, most individuals are simply far too shy to implement it with any measure of success.
