Oil Jobs scam is no longer news for many. But we still get those silly emails offering us a high paying oil job in some popular oil producing country.

Most times, the jobs come with the name, logo and a possible fake email address or website for another known company.

In this recession, there are chances of more job scams around the Internet as many job seekers are actively looking for relevant work as a result of redundancies and or loss of employment.

For many who have never found themselves in these situations, finding a job at oil cost is the next possible plan. Hence, they will assume that even a small application fee is alright in order to attract a job - that looks very lucrative with potential high rewards.

Please, beware!!! Dont fall victim to scams asking for any sort of money in order to guarantee a job. Please delete the email immediately.

Usually, oil job scams tend to come out of the blues, offering you a job that you didnt apply for, never had an interview for and never had any genuine correspondences whatsoever.

The emails tend to have so many spelling errors, grammatical mistakes and unnecessary use of CAPITAL LETTERS.

You are informed of a visa processing fee or a form of payments to facilitate your job in that company and country.

An example of an oil job scam can start in the following format: My name is Edwin Brown, I am the agent of the CAREERS OIL AND GAS COMPANY. I have come to the notice of the fact that you are one of the newly employed staff of this company and i am responsible for the arrangements of all the necessary documents required for you to travel to our newly established company in United States of America to resume your JOB PLACEMENT with immediate effect. This are all the necessary documents (and their charges) I would need to process your WORKING VISA. See it below:

Invitation Letter: $150 USD

Letter of No Objection by the Dubai Embassy in USA: $150 USD

Workers Permitt: $100 USD

These are other necessary things you need:

Insurance: $100 USD

Stamp Duty: $50 USD

Mailing Fee/Courier Fee: $50 USD

Medical Examination Fee: $100 USD

Workers Orientation & Tax: $100 USD

Agency Fee: $50 USD

Total Fees: $850 USD

These are all the documents and the requirement you need before your WORKING VISA can be granted to you. Hope to hear from you ASAP.

You can see from the above that payments are asked for by the oil job scammer.

Oil Job scammers have used all known and unknown names and companies as front for their scams, and its possible our website could be added to their list as well.

While emails like this has prompted many companies to place disclaimers and ensure a more stringent efforts to clear their name and retain their reputation, this should not deter oil job seekers from finding legitimate oil jobs from online oil jobsites.

The common sense is - be careful and if a job looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

Finding the right oil jobs can be a daunting task with so many scams around. But to ensure you apply for genuine oil careers , please visit Careers Oil Gas

Actively Listening to your Child

By Lue Sawer

It seems to be a natural tendency to react rather than to respond. We pass judgment based on our own feelings and experiences. However, responding means being receptive to our child’s feelings and emotions and allowing them to express themselves openly and honestly without fear of repercussion from us. By reacting, we send our child the message that their feelings and opinions are invalid. But by responding and asking questions about why the child feels that way, it opens a dialog that allows them to discuss their feelings further, and allows you a better understanding of where they’re coming from. Responding also gives you an opportunity to work out a solution or a plan of action with your child that perhaps they would not have come up with on their own. Your child will also appreciate the fact that maybe you do indeed understand how they feel.

It’s crucial in these situations to give your child your full and undivided attention. Put down your newspaper, stop doing dishes, or turn off the television so you can hear the full situation and make eye contact with your child. Keep calm, be inquisitive, and afterwards offer potential solutions to the problem.

Don’t discourage your child from feeling upset, angry, or frustrated. Our initial instinct may be to say or do something to steer our child away from it, but this can be a detrimental tactic. Again, listen to your child, ask questions to find out why they are feeling that way, and then offer potential solutions to alleviate the bad feeling.

Just as we do, our children have feelings and experience difficult situations. By actively listening and participating with our child as they talk about it, it demonstrates to them that we do care, we want to help and we have similar experiences of our own that they can draw from. Remember, respond - don’t react.
