Beware of Oil (laid-off from job) Jobs Scams
No commentsBy vikram kuamr
Oil Jobs scam is no longer news for many. But we still get those silly emails offering us a high paying oil job in some popular oil producing country.
Most times, the jobs come with the name, logo and a possible fake email address or website for another known company.
In this recession, there are chances of more job scams around the Internet as many job seekers are actively looking for relevant work as a result of redundancies and or loss of employment.
For many who have never found themselves in these situations, finding a job at oil cost is the next possible plan. Hence, they will assume that even a small application fee is alright in order to attract a job - that looks very lucrative with potential high rewards.
Please, beware!!! Dont fall victim to scams asking for any sort of money in order to guarantee a job. Please delete the email immediately.
Usually, oil job scams tend to come out of the blues, offering you a job that you didnt apply for, never had an interview for and never had any genuine correspondences whatsoever.
The emails tend to have so many spelling errors, grammatical mistakes and unnecessary use of CAPITAL LETTERS.
You are informed of a visa processing fee or a form of payments to facilitate your job in that company and country.
An example of an oil job scam can start in the following format: My name is Edwin Brown, I am the agent of the CAREERS OIL AND GAS COMPANY. I have come to the notice of the fact that you are one of the newly employed staff of this company and i am responsible for the arrangements of all the necessary documents required for you to travel to our newly established company in United States of America to resume your JOB PLACEMENT with immediate effect. This are all the necessary documents (and their charges) I would need to process your WORKING VISA. See it below:
Invitation Letter: $150 USD
Letter of No Objection by the Dubai Embassy in USA: $150 USD
Workers Permitt: $100 USD
These are other necessary things you need:
Insurance: $100 USD
Stamp Duty: $50 USD
Mailing Fee/Courier Fee: $50 USD
Medical Examination Fee: $100 USD
Workers Orientation & Tax: $100 USD
Agency Fee: $50 USD
Total Fees: $850 USD
These are all the documents and the requirement you need before your WORKING VISA can be granted to you. Hope to hear from you ASAP.
You can see from the above that payments are asked for by the oil job scammer.
Oil Job scammers have used all known and unknown names and companies as front for their scams, and its possible our website could be added to their list as well.
While emails like this has prompted many companies to place disclaimers and ensure a more stringent efforts to clear their name and retain their reputation, this should not deter oil job seekers from finding legitimate oil jobs from online oil jobsites.
The common sense is - be careful and if a job looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

All You Need To Know About Geology Jobs And Petroleum Engineering Jobs
By vikram kuamr
If you have achieved a relatively high standard of education, and are interested in becoming part of a petroleum company, then you might wish to consider one of the various petroleum engineering jobs. Geology jobs, in particular, might interest you. Petroleum engineering jobs deal with the equipment required to extract oil and gas and also the process of digging wells in order to reach the oil and gas. Geology jobs are filled by those who have a firm grasp of science and geophysics, in order to examine drilling sites and provide advice on the state of the surrounding geography and how the drilling should proceed.
One of the major responsibilities in geology jobs is to survey the land where the drilling is to take place, and determine what sort of seismic forces are present in the area. This is because drilling for oil involves drilling into the ground with enormous drills, which cut into the earth with great force. Petroleum companies have to be very careful when they are drilling in areas where seismic forces are strong, for fear that they might trigger earthquakes and other disasters.
Those employed in geology jobs must also use sonic equipment to determine the composition of the land through which the drill must cut. Loose rock and dirt is the easiest substrate to dig through, while hard bedrock and granite pose a challenge to even the most advanced drills. It is therefore up to those employed in geology jobs to find the path of least resistance through the earth that the drill will take to reach the oil or gas below.
Of the many petroleum engineering jobs available, geology jobs are among the most specialized. They require intimate knowledge of the rock and soil that make up the earth. They also require a firm understanding of the seismic forces that move and shape the earth. Finally, like all petroleum engineering jobs, geology jobs place great stress upon the shoulders of workers. Crews working at drilling sites are almost always on a strict deadline, and they have to perform their tasks within those deadlines, lest they delay the entire drilling operation.
If you wish to be employed in any petroleum engineering jobs, then you must also be prepared to get your hands dirty. Drilling sites are not clean places by any stretch of the imagination, as drills dig up many hundreds of tons of rock every day, to deposit them on the surface where vehicles are waiting to cart the rock away. You will likely find the working conditions dirty and dusty, and most definitely not anything like the clean and cultured environment of an office job.
If you find yourself employed in one of the many petroleum engineering jobs available, then you should definitely be prepared to work harder than you ever have before. You can also take great satisfaction in knowing that your work helps to provide people around the world with the energy to keep their lights working and their vehicles running.
If you are searching for oil jobs , but especially petroleum engineering and geology jobs, then you should definitely pay a visit to the Careers Oil Gas website. It has offers to pursue your oil careers !
