IrishIvan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Why not have a community forum for these kind of people? There are a heap of us around and we contribute a lot to Thailand as we make it our home for 6 months of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What about "The Hard Hat Forum" Actually, that may work and also make the forum more accessible by expanding to construction professionals. Plenty of us here wear hard hats but are not O&G but are not in sufficient numbers to warrant a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Being in the industry myself,I think it's a great idea,that said what exactly will we be able to offer here,can we post links to other sites of current jobs,I get jobs emailed to me daily. I must say I'm a little sceptical,this type of industry operates in it's own way of not what you know but who you know,are people that generous to give away great jobs on an anonymous Internet forum.

Scottythai Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Either way would be a good place for us sort to chat. Last thing people wanna read is about the dull and boring times offshore. I think this would also help with networking. Just my 2cents though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand2012 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Either way would be a good place for us sort to chat. Last thing people wanna read is about the dull and boring times offshore. I think this would also help with networking. Just my 2cents though yes a forum like that would be a great place for networking, I do fifo throughout wa and I'm always looking to obtain an offshore contract and be able to live in Thailand in my downtime then back to work. That's the life I'm longing for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 good idea....O&G seems to come up a lot across various forums on TV, so would be good to get all these topic's in one place, if anyone remembers a quite early version of the the "Oil careers" website, this had a similar thing and for some reason it was shut down, one suspects because people were getting on there and slagging off companies... another thing that could be posted is the various job scams going on all over the world.....ie we have reviewed your CV, (which you never sent) and without an interview we going to offer you US 50k/month....but you need to send us US 1000 for your visa first.... This sort of thing would be good, as a few Thai visa posters have asked me about these sorts of things before via pm and once you read the info they provide, its obvious to anyone who works in the industry that its a scam.

Sometimes when I fly into a new country its nice for someone to have a bit of advice. Sometimes when I am bored offshore its good to share a few stories. Know what I mean?

Will set it up now, Might get confused with offshore investments, banking etc. if that's the name? Maybe better to call it something like "Oil & Gas and other Offshore expat work". Would suggest having it as a sub-forum to the "Jobs, economy, banking, business, investments" forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midasthailand Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Only problem I see with this is that once you identify yourself as an Oil and Gas worker on the forum you are likely to get inundated with PM's from all the financial advice morons that lurk on TV.

Boksida Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't really understand why you want to explicitly exclude all the mining and upstream oil and gas people who work onshore, but up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
