Our Perspective | |
Another interesting year
is closing...
The old, supposedly
Chinese, curse goes "may you live in interesting times."
There is no shortage of that this year for our industry.
From pending doomsday scenarios, to the offshore industry post-Macondo,
to a slew of legislation that could sink this ship, to stopped pipeline
projects, and to contaminated ground water supplies perceived to be caused
by drilling activities, there is one negative headline after another it seems.
But there is a lot to say
on the positive side. Technologies in our
industry continue to advance and outpace the critics; the leadership in
the U.S. is talking seriously about energy independence; and the federal
government has been indicating openness in its interaction with the oil
and gas industry as drilling permits are being issued again.
There is a lot of amazing news on the natural gas front with large
scale initiatives in the areas of shales, LNG, and CNG.
These are potential game changers with a very solid outlook and
potentially game-changing, positive impact on energy independence for the U.S.
The year 2012 is just around the
corner, and it promises to be no different.
This time next year, we hope to be able to report on a number of
implemented structures and projects with good news for the country and our
industry.
We hope you and your
family have a wonderful Holiday season.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Opportunities for Organizations and Job Seekers! The recent announcements
of energy companies to split downstream and upstream (and in some cases
midstream) businesses into separate units could invoke quite a few
personnel changes on the market, and here is why:
In short, changes create
plenty of opportunities for career minded individuals and for the
organizations seeking to enhance bottom-lime performance.
The best thing to do is to stay informed and keep your networks
open to the people in all segments of the industry as the changes that

How Networking Can Lead You To Your Dream Job! For many professionals
looking for a new career challenge, turning to an online job board often has
been the first resource. However, statistics say that jobs are
landed at a rate of 70% through networking. This should be the most
productive aspect of your job search.
Human-resource experts say job hunters should not give up on job
boards, but also should use every other tool available to them. Employers
are progressively looking for new ways to find prospective hires such as
their own company websites, employee referrals, and often industry-related
staffing agencies. As
employers' workloads escalate, their time does not permit them to read
mounds of resumes, so turning to professional oil and gas agencies provide
them with the top qualified candidates. As
a professional, you should incorporate networking in your everyday
practice, whether you are looking for a job, looking for a candidate, or
just staying abreast of industry trends.
You never know whether the next person you meet will be your future
employer (or employee). Tips on Networking
Pitfalls to Avoid
Recruiters are dedicated
networkers. Our success
depends entirely on the resources and contacts we develop and maintain.
We assertively create new relationships on a daily basis.
We consistently stay abreast of industry developments by
communicating with a broad range of clients and candidates.
