Never stay commited to any employer, employers don't give a damm about employees. Always read the job market atmosphere and keep moving

consider yourself an subject matter expert and market yourself to the best bidder. when new opportunities open up, move on..

Bro I'm doing that on an international scale

That 2000 could be the last of Kamla's graduate trainee programme.

No more renewals or extensions.

I might get a lol ting with proman gas plant... But apparently the American methanol is producing so the commissioning crew may return... Not sure how many are on loan...

Keep egging ur pandas with experience to try their luck foreign, to allow some sort of vacancies to open up.

Always wondered how people got through with the opportunity to go abroad and work for those plants as Trinidad is saturated and politics. I have applied rigzone and a few others and fit the requirements but most places not offering sponsorship . Any of you qualified guys know how to get through in these foreign companies

Some men spoke to expats and got the link up that way, others were contexts by they padnahs who went up before. Other just searched online and tried their luck. I knew men who just apply and went Australia and Saudi ... not ev2ryntjng is a link up ting

Anybody down here ever applied for a PPO position abroad and got through.. I'm looking specifically at Canada.. I have no experience in the petrochemical sector but I have been working as a PPO in water treatment for just under 4 years..

I think My downfall is my lack of education specifically a degree..
I have my O's A's (science subs)
EEET- cert, dip, adv dip.
Cert in PLC'S
Cert process operations -utt
And a few other small things like MS office with VB skills..

Think I could get through with anything Canada? I know it have a lot of experienced senior guys here..

Try something more along the line of finance and or project management.

If you are already in a technical field specializing may not be the best option in this climate, but project management, maintenance or finance or auditing might make you more versatile.

However if you truly love the technical stuff by all means...
