I’ve worked on rigs for years, and staying on top of safety certifications really pays off — companies prioritize candidates who can hit the ground running. You might want to check out @rigsafetyupdates for the latest on required courses. Have you thought about which specific skills to highlight?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠​‌⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‌⁠‌​‍​​⁠‍​‌‌​⁠‌‌​⁠​⁠‌​‌⁠‍‌‌‍⁠‌‌‍⁠‍​⁠‍‌‌‌​⁠‌​⁠⁠​‍⁠‌‌‌​​‌⁠​‍‌‍‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

And it’s crucial to be adaptable on the rig, especially with how fast things change. I learned early on that being open to learning different skills, like basic welding or equipment maintenance, really makes you stand out. As a friend always says, ‘versatility is your best tool.’.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠​‌⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌⁠‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‍⁠‌‍⁠‍‌​⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠‍‌‌​⁠⁠‌‌​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

But i remember being on a job where we had to adapt quickly to a new rig setup. It really made a difference having a few team members who could handle different tasks, like basic welding. Flexibility is key these days, especially when the market’s moving fast. @jordan_hale21, it might help to brush up on multiple skills before applying.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠​‌⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‍‌​​‍‌⁠​⁠‌​⁠​‌‍⁠⁠‌‍‌​‌⁠‌‍‌​‍⁠‌‍‍‍‌​⁠⁠‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‍​⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍⁠⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

But getting certified in H2S safety was a game changer for me — companies really look for that! Have you considered it? :flexed_biceps:.
