Good job idea, working on an oil rig pays very well. Especially in Alaska. My friend wanted to be an engineer on an oil rig, so before he got his degree he was a roughneck over the summer, which got him some experience. I do not think you will need that tpe of experience, however, but you must be a very good cook to work on a rig. You have provide food for thousands of people, and it has to be good food because that is all they eat. By the way, living expenses in NY or Las Angeles are MUCH higher than in AK. You actually get paid to live in AK from all of the oil profits. Don't know if you knew that or not. I would call a company like Schlumberger or you could just look on the website www.oilcareer.com

You can contact the HR departments of the various oil companies. You may find that they contract out the cooking to third party companies, but hopefully they could direct you to some of them.
And for those of you that think this is a strange goal, I have done some contract engineering work on a couple of oil rigs and they put out some of the best food you can imagine. They feed the crew very well.

Do you want to be a chef on an oil rig? Why, may I ask? Why not apply to some of the cruise ship companies? That would be better I think. Just wondered.

You want to be a cook on an Alaskan oil rig? I would try contacting Shell or Chevron and see if they have any job openings.

I really wouldn't go to Alaska as it is very very very expensive to live there....try going to Los Angeles,CA or even NY and see if you can work for restaurants and work your way up

Send them a resume, but you'll probably need some experience first.
