Hi all,

I am Doing my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in "Design, Industrial Engineering & innovation" and will be graduating in September 2010.
I completed my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in 2005 and worked for Automotive company for around 3years as R&D Engineer.
Now, I am looking for challenging career in the Field of Oil and Petroleum Industry as Field/ Drilling/Maintenance/processes Engineer.
I have already started applying for the company.

But seems they are specially looking for people with degree in Petroleum Engineering.

I would be really thankful to all if you can assist me how do i proceed for it.
I would also appreciate if there are vacancy in your company.
mobility is not a problem for me.

Thank & Regards
salim

hi,
You have to prove yourself that you're qualified to the job you're looking for, don't say that you're studying a masteral degree without proving yourself even to look for a better job independently, you are a professional..you must act in a professional way.. don't ask anybody else to help you in finding a decent job, remember, you must be a good salesman to yourself just to show and prove that you're capable to work and find a job independently. don't say you're a masteral of none because even to find a job suitable to your chosen career still you're struggling..

That's my advice..

Goodluck!!

Salim, your previous experience is not oilfield related, nor are your qualifications. As such you would need to start at the bottom of industry, competing with fresh graduates, as the job(s) your are seeking are not matched to your experience and qualification.

Look for an R&D position with an oil company or oilfield service company, that relates to your previous experience. I'll be honest with you and save you a lot of disappointment. If your resume came across my desk for the jobs you are seeking above, I would not even read it.
