Hi oil and gas friends! Your Linkedin profile and your CV/resume will be much more professional if you include both your hard and soft skills in them. Your SOFT SKILLS are the interpersonal and character traits you have, that enable you to communicate and collaborate effectively with others, and to adapt to various situations. Soft skills are usually transferable to other jobs, even if those jobs are completely different. Here are five examples of SOFT SKILLS: 1. communication skills 2. teamwork 3. adaptability 4. leadership 5. time management Your HARD SKILLS are the specific abilities or areas of knowlege you have, that are directly related to your job or field of work. They are teachable, and often quantifiable. But usually they are not transferable to other jobs Here are three examples of HARD SKILLS in each of the three main sectors of the oil and gas industry: Upstream:- 1. drilling engineering 2. seismic interpretation 3. offshore operations Midstream:- 1. pipeline design 2. transportation and storage 3. pump and compressor systems Downstream:- 1. refining process operations 2. fuel production and blending 3. petrochemical processing Finally, here are three HARD SKILLS of an oil and gas company CEO: 1. business development 2. mergers and acquisitions 3. stakeholder and investor relations Your Linkedin profile and your CV/resume should contain about forty skills, say 30 hard skills and 10 soft skills. Of course, they must be RELEVANT to the job you were doing at the time. And ideally, many of them should be in the JOB DESCRIPTION of the job you are applying for. So get cracking, and start compiling a list of YOUR hard and soft skills. And then put them into both your CV/resume and your Linkedin profile. Be sure you really do have the skill! And be sure it is actually relevant to the job. Let me know in the comments what YOUR top 3 HARD SKILLS are! -- Postscript: If you're in the oil and gas industry, please: (1) send me a Linkedin conection request, and (2) join my Linkedin group, the "Oil and Gas Industry - Career Development Group." I'd be very happy to connect with you, and help you to advance in your international oil and gas career. #CareerDevelopmentWithDavidSnow #SpokenEnglishSkillsUpgradeProgramme #JobApplicantMakeoverProgramme #OilAndGasIndustry #OilAndGasJobs

Resume, Cover Letter & LinkedIn Specialist ◆ Top 100 Women in the Energy Transition ◆ Top 15 LinkedIn Experts in Houston ➤ I help senior and executive-level Oil, Gas & Energy professionals optimize profiles and level up!
When do you need two resumes to hit an Oil & Gas job target? When you have technical AND management goals. For instance, a completions engineer might want to target high-level technical engineering roles as an advisor, SME or consultant. At the same time, they might also want to break into a management role where they need to highlight their skills in collaboration, supervision, and/or departmental direction. Sometimes you want to be more in the weeds and other times you’ll want to be more high level. The tricky thing is that if you try to walk the line between both with one resume, you may come across as a 50% fit for both types of roles. Have you run into this before? I’d love to hear your story! #oilgas #oilandgas #petroleum #engineering

Is your LinkedIn headline telling an Oil & Gas recruiter where you want to BE rather than where you currently ARE? Here's an example of what I mean: A client wanted to get back into a technical reservoir engineering role, but his LinkedIn headline read: "Project Engineer @ Shell | Petroleum Engineer | MBA Nothing in this headline tells a recruiter that they are even remotely interested in reservoir engineering, right? A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is this: Talent acquisition specialists rarely have your background. In fact, most have never held an engineering role in O&G before. They don't have your background and can't 'read between the lines' of your resume and LinkedIn to figure out where you want to be. This means that you have to not only explicitly tell them where you want to be... You also need to explain WHY you're a top 1% candidate for that role. Keep this in mind when refreshing your LinkedIn, O&G friends! #oilgas #oilandgas #petroleum #engineering #energy #hiringandpromotion
