By the time you go through all of these 7 points, you are going to think “Of course, why didn’t I think of that?” because it actually makes a lot of sense. For it to make sense, first you need to understand what happens when someone decides to look for entry level position. Chances are that they know absolutely nothing about the industry so they are not likely to search for a company name. They are more likely to do a broad search for something such as “oil rig jobs".
The next thing you need to consider is what kind of company is likely to profit from this type of broad search? It makes absolutely no sense for a company that makes its money from mining natural resources to waste their money, time and effort getting their website shows up in search results for terms such as oil rig jobs. What you are more likely to find is recruitment agencies that know that you are looking for a job.
Depending on the job, recruitment agencies can charge employers up to 10% of your annual wage for helping them fill that position. That is why a recruitment agency is willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month to show up in search results for search terms such as oil and gas jobs. That wouldn’t be a problem if you clicked on the recruitment agency website and they had a long list of entry level oil rig jobs but the problem is that you will never find them there.
In the next video I will explain why but if you look at it from the recruitment agencies point of view, they don’t really care if you can’t find what you are looking for, because even if you give up and look for work in another industry, they still have the ability to gain a new customer.
Exactly, as I was first looking for a job in the oil industry, just about three or four years ago, I started searching something as oil rig jobs etc. It was about two years ago I got e-mail from Nigeria, and as I opened it my computer got virus and stopped working. Until today I get frequently e-mails from Martin, Jennifer, Susan etc. about free posts in the oil industry. I have never ever opened it, except once, I think. Now I got to your website I am convinced for the first time since the beginning of my search that I got the right man to help. Thank you.

(Photo: Flickr, Caston_Corporate)Plains Exploration and Production Co. shareholders on Monday voted to approve global mining firm Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s buyout of the company.
A spokesman for Houston-based Plains Exploration, Hance Myers, confirmed in an email that the deal was approved.
The companies said in a joint statement after the vote that the deal is expected to close May 31.
Earlier in the day, Freeport-McMoRan’s bid to buy Plains Exploration got a boost just ahead of the key shareholder vote as it agreed to let Plains pay its investors a special $3-a-share dividend provided the combination went through.
Plains Exploration shareholders met mid-morning to consider the merger. An hour later, the meeting was recessed until the early afternoon, and then the voting results were announced.
The special dividend was clearly an attempt to sweeten the pot for Plains Exploration shareholders, some of whom have worried the initial bid announced in December 2012 was inadequate.
In a research note after the dividend announcement, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. analysts said the dividend was “understandable as pressure had been mounting in recent weeks to vote against the deal.” The analysts said the offering “should smooth the path” toward a final deal as it looked like Freeport-McMoRan was trying to make Plains Exploration shareholders whole after the loss of market value in Freeport-McMoRan stock since the cash-and-stock deal was announced.
Legal challenge: Judge refuses to block Freeport-Plains deal
In a statement, Houston-based Plains Exploration said if any of its stockholders had already voted against the merger, they had every right and the ability to change their vote, in order to vote in favor of the merger agreement, before the voting closed Monday.
Under the terms as originally announced, the complicated transaction was worth $9 billion. But by the end of trading that day, it was worth $8.5 billion. It called for Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold to acquire Plains Exploration for roughly $6.4 billion in cash and stock, and also buy McMoRan Exploration Co., an independent firm, for roughly $2.1 billion in cash, net of the 36 percent combined stake Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold and Plains Exploration currently own in McMoRan Exploration Co.
At closing, McMoRan Exploration Co. shareholders also will receive a distribution of units in a royalty trust that will hold a 5 percent overriding royalty interest on future production in the company’s existing shallow water ultra-deep properties.
Sealing deals: Energy M&A activity set a record in 2012
The value of the deal has continued to fall since it was announced. The current value of the original deal, based on Monday’s stock prices and the current number of Plains Exploration shares outstanding, is roughly $8.2 billion. Together with the dividend announced Monday, which is worth roughly $400 million to Plains Exploration shareholders, the deal’s value is $8.6 billion.
Freeport-McMoRan also would assume debt as part of the deal. At the time the acquisition was announced, the total debt of the combined companies was said to be $20 billion. It is unclear how much that will increase as a result of the special dividend.
The combined company would be based in Phoenix, which is where Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold currently has its corporate headquarters. It would maintain offices in Houston and New Orleans.
Executives at the world’s largest publicly traded copper producer have defended the deal as one of the few valuable opportunities Freeport-McMoRan has to take advantage of favorable financing terms and grow its business by moving into new territory and increasing its exposure to the U.S.
The deal would create a massive natural resource company with significant mineral assets, oil and gas interests and growing production capability.
