Change Recruitment Group's survey shows 19% of Oil & Gas professionals feel their career has either stood still or gone backwards. The company's survey extended back over the past two years, and a further fifth of Oil and Gas workers ( 20%) felt their career had progressed but not as quickly as they would have liked, whilst a third (33%) said their career is on track. Two fifths (42 %) of respondents think their career would have progressed further had the UK not seen a recession. Frustrations are starting to show as three quarters ( 75%) confess to job hunting, with almost half (44%) of those looking for a move, doing so in order to take a step up.
