Good afternoon all.

As some of you may know i am on the verge of handing my notice in with my current job. Basically the one i am in now is underpaid, undervalued and i'm just plain unhappy. I do however have another job lined up but there is no firm date as of yet as to when it is starting so my thoughts are to hand i my notice, work it and then do contracting work until the new job is firmed up.

Is anyone aware of a decent agency / Contract company that would be willing to take someone like me on? It will have to be in the Aberdeen area but i will travel.

I finished uni a year ago with a Geology background but along the years i have worked in a number of different roles. Jack of all trades wink

Anyway thoughts and inputs appreciated.

Regards

Dan

My suggestion would be not to hand your notice in until the other job gives you a start date although this may be to sensible.

Too true, too true.

Been updating my CV and been on a bit of a applying spree so we will see. I will find out on Thur if any headway has been made with the new job so fingers crossed.

Why not just put your details into a offshore agency (Petrofac/Atlantic Resourcing) and just get a few trips agency rousting or something else till your job happens. If its because of a due date then you can still request to get off the rig if you need to.

Good luck with the new job.
