For some time now I have been considering my future in my present position, taking into account many different issues such as opportunities for advancement, fresh challenges and diversifying my knowledge base. Unfortunately, with my present employer, the probability of an opportunity arising which could allow me to set about accomplishing any significant change is very limited due to their rig fleet size. I consider my long term future to be within the industry and feel that I have many years left to offer a new employer.
I am confident that I possess the necessary skills, experience and qualifications to progress further in my chosen career given the chance, whilst at the same time I am keen to broaden the scope of my knowledge and gain further experience in as many different areas of the industry as possible.
