Oil And Gas/Mining Industry. Canada, OZ, Middle East, Africa ect

I've got rigging/CPR certs already I wonder if they'd carry over from the US.

Yeah, my brother was telling me that Underwater survival course is like 50K.

Probably more realistic to start out on land somewhere in Oz, US, or Canada, huh?

Mate getting a job in the mines in aus is easy all you have to do is move to a mining town and walk into the recruitment office. If your a foreigner you need a working visa!!!!

Is it that easy? Another guy here in Thailand told me that. He said I'd have to move to a mining town and network for a little, but I was watching videos about how Aussies are having trouble getting work themselves because all the foreigners are taking the jobs.

The guy told me that there's no point applying on the internet. Would you guys really recommend just going there and hitting a recruiting office? I'd hate to make a whole trip and spend the money just to get turned down. So, I'd obviously need a visa... any other certs I need or would be beneficial to have prehand?

Euro, you work in the Mines or Oil/Gas Rigs?

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm really trying to stay over on this side of the world
