How to make the jump from Accounting to a Scheduling role
So I have been working in oil and gas for sometime now and I have always wanted to make the jump to get to a scheduling role. Long term the hope is to get into a trading role.
My accounting experience has been on the operations side where I was JIB (Joint Interest Billing) Accountant. My plan was to work in accounting for a few years and make the jump. I would apply for openings as they came for positions like settlement analyst or Gas Scheduling positions but to no avail.
I was recently laid off from my position to the state of the oil and gas. However, I want to take this opportunity to get my foot in the door as a scheduler. I am willing to do whatever it takes just to get in. Accounting isnt what I want to do long term.
Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks
