While you can get hired for roughneck jobs by sending out your resume on your own, it can take a long time to get noticed and get hired. Reputable services like Rigworker simplify the application process and allow you to take advantage of their longstanding relationship with over 1200 oil companies.
Oil companies send their new job postings immediately to Rigworker and for a small fee you can send your uploaded resume to hundreds of roughneck jobs listed on their website.
One click to upload your resume, one more click to send it out. Add to that the fact that Rigworker emails you updates of new jobs and their service is INVALUABLE to jobseekers.
While you don't need much experience for entry level roughneck jobs it can be a challenge to have your resume noticed when it's buried in a pile of others. Rigworker allows you to be notified of new positions before they are posted on major job search sites ... a huge advantage over other applicants. The first resumes to come in are the first resumes that get read. Often these are the people who get hired for coveted roughneck jobs.
Good luck with your job search - I hope this site has helped you with the process!
