“Are you thinking of leaving the oilfield?” with Career Expert, Amanda Rico.

Today we bring you Amanda Rico on the podcast, she is a Resume, Cover Letter & Linkedin Expert. She is a public speaker and columnist in the oil and gas industry. Not to mention she is a viral sensation on Linkedin, helping people find their next job. 

We dive into Amanda's history and how she became a LInkedin sensation in just a matter of months, with over 25K followers. Amanda explains how she found her niche and used her skills in English. She has a PHD from Texas A&M and her husband’s coaching to grow her network in the Energy Sector. She has helped hundreds of engineers transition into new jobs within Energy and outside the industry. 

At 31 she pivoted her career into oil and gas. She talks about overcoming her fears to move away from Academia and start her own business, helping engineers and executive-level progressions optimize their profiles and land new jobs. 

We ask her:

Which industries are the most popular for her applicants, is it Google, Amazon, Tesla, Exxon, Shell, Schlumberger or not in energy at all? 

If you are looking to move outside the Energy Industry how do you apply your skills to something like Tech? 

How do you change your Linkedin profile to attract recruiters? 

What should you post or  should you even post on social media? 

Will using Linkedin alone get you that next job?

Amanda provides real life examples that we can all apply to our resumes.
