Rank: Forum user		Just landed a job in Aberdeen doing oil and gas safety, trebled my wage and boosted career progression prospects however, just handed in my notice to my cushy operational safety job... job for life possibly.... no hassle... plenty of projects.... and in sets the fear.. Jeeze what a life.

Rank: Super forum user		Congratulations Rocky - is that a change in speciality then? If so what experience did you have that 'sold you' to your new employers? Just interested as I am unhappy where I am. Stuart

Rank: New forum user		Hi Rocky, I am interested too with the same query from Stuie. I have related experience in engineering and facilities and the response I get that recruiters want people with Oil and Gas experience? Congratulations to you.

Rank: Super forum user		Good for you, I'm sure you will be fine when you get into the thick of it. This also explains the typing out of the words from "The fresh prince" the other day, not too much coffee, just demob happy" Congratulations to you and nice to hear (read) a positive post.
