I don’t intend this to sound cold, but if you are let go don’t restrict your job search to oil and gas. The industry has been shedding jobs since 2015. It’s just a fact that there are fewer and fewer positions, and more and more laid off workers vying for them. Don’t mistakenly believe this is all you know, all you can do, or all anyone would hire you for. While you may get pigeon-holed at your current company, you may need to shatter the false belief that you are equally as pigeon-holed once you leave (escape? 😂) oil and gas.
Good advice from @ghd+19dZJeFO, bumped so more people could see it.
