Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi , If it will help me get a job offshore I'll supply a photo-album!! I phoned Oilfieldmedics on Friday, that's why I asked about where I can get an Offshore Medic cert. in South Africa, as that is one of their requirements, and he couldn't point me in the right direction locally. Barbara Foot in the door for B. Amor Dear B. Amor, Try 'Oilfieldmedics' in Uk and without being rude, just for a bit of fun with a name like yours posting a photo may help as well...!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm glad a sense of humour is a pre-requisite for this kind of work!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Barbara, Just keep doing what your doing. Once you get your first break or two, and establish a reputation you will discover the jobs chase you. A big factor is being easy going, and not getting hyped up when someones sense of humor doesn't exactly align with yours. Laetitia, He was just joking around. Women don't need to rely on their sexuality to get jobs anymore...Promotions maybe...but not jobs. That was also what is referred to as a joke. There are numerous instructional books, movies, and television shows on the subject. If you need help let me know. (attach a picture of yourself in a bikini to the email please) The South Africans all seem agitated lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 a photo on a CV is normal proceedure in a lot of Asia. Not oil and gas per say,but in NORMAL jobs-its a must in Singapore,ines etc. No idea why,but as a lot of jobs are in tourism,customer relations,hospitality etc-I guess they would say good grooming is essential,but of course it can be used to weed out the non pretty folk. I check the CVs of our staff before hiring,but get the photo removed first. Not just to ensure I dont get accused of only hiring pretty girls(or boys),but to avoid any other claims of anti any thing based on photo. The last time I saw one it was a driver-good guy,but his photo was about 20 years old and like a good greyhound race-the hair had long gone.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 , Will do... " Keep the faith " as that great band Bon Jovi sings. As to humour...you win some, loose some hey? Re: Foot in the door for B. Amor Barbara, Just keep doing what your doing. Once you get your first break or two, and establish a reputation you will discover the jobs chase you. A big factor is being easy going, and not getting hyped up when someones sense of humor doesn't exactly align with yours. Laetitia, He was just joking around.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Actually quite a few companies ask for pictures as part of the employment process. Frontier asks for it to be attached to their application. The rest of them try to be a little more “PC” and just ask for a copy of your passport. Oh and that is for men and woman. Wow things get crazy around here. Max Barbara Amor <brbramor@...> wrote: Hi Letitia It was a joke!!
