Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.
I’m from Goa, India, and I’m seriously looking for a job opportunity in Albania. My goal is to move there legally on a work permit and start working as soon as possible.

I’m mainly looking for:
Warehouse jobs (picker, packer, loader, inventory, logistics, etc.)
Restaurant jobs (kitchen helper, waiter, dishwasher, cleaner, food preparation, etc.)

I’m a B.Com graduate, I’m physically fit, hardworking, quick to learn, and I’m willing to work long shifts, weekends, or overtime if required. I’m fluent in English and can adapt to new environments easily.

The reason I’m posting here is because recruitment agents in my area (Goa, India) are asking for around ₹5 lakh (approximately €5,000+) as a service charge just to arrange a warehouse job. That’s an amount I simply cannot afford, and I’m trying to find a genuine and honest way to get a job directly.
If anyone here:

Knows of companies that are hiring,
Works in a warehouse or restaurant that needs staff,
Can recommend a trustworthy recruitment agency in Albania,
Or can guide me on how to apply directly,
I would be extremely grateful.

I’m not looking for shortcuts—I’m only looking for a legal job with a proper work permit. Even an entry-level position is perfectly fine. My main priority is getting a genuine opportunity and building a better future through hard work.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any advice, contacts, or suggestions would mean a lot to me.
Have a great day! 🙏

Hello everyone,

My name is Ayyan Shaikh, . I have a strong interest in working in the oil and gas industry, especially on offshore oil rigs.

A little about my background:

Completed 10th Standard

Completed 12th Standard with 70% marks
Always performed well in English and communication

Graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) in 2026

Although my educational background is not technical, I am highly motivated to enter the oil and gas industry. I am willing to start in an entry-level position, work hard, learn new skills, complete any required certifications, and gain experience.

I would appreciate advice from experienced rig workers and industry professionals on:

What entry-level positions should I apply for?

Which certifications or training courses would help me get started?

Is it possible for a B.Com graduate to build a career in the oil and gas industry?

What are the best companies or countries to apply to as a beginner?

I am serious about pursuing this career path and would be grateful for any guidance or recommendations.

Thank you for your time and advice.
