I'M JOB HUNTING...

[kyle's srt10]

Ok guys so long story short I'm out looking for a job. After almost 7 years my cousin and I have agreed to part ways. This economy has really affected the fabrication business He will be taking over from here to see if things get better:dontknow: His wife makes great money so that's why he has agreed to wait it out. I personally can't afford to foot half the bills and go without a paycheck anymore!

Now with this being said there are alot of jobs in my area due to the oil/gas industry coming in over the last 5 years. What I would like to know is if any of you guys work for these companys and to which one might be my best option

Southwestern energy company
Chesapeake Energy
CalFrac
Weatherford
Nomac

This is just a brief list of the larger companys in the area I have 4 family members that work for Desoto (Southwestern energy company) but it could take awhile still to get on and even then I would more than likely be a roughneck:dontknow: I know that without a college education I will more than likely start on the bottom which is not a problem. I would just like to check to see with my business experence if there may be something different to start with:dontknow:

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Kyle, Weatherford is an excellent company with tons of growth potential... you might have to start out as a grunt but from what I've seen from them they are on their way up.

I personally would stay away from the frac side of the business.

Weatherford is the frac side:dontknow: Or at least here anyways..
All of the fracing places require a CDL also but will help you if you don't have it..

I want to get on a rig. Don't care if I start as roughneck or not. They work 7 on 7 off. Good pay,benifits,bonuses..

Check to see if your Weatherford field office has a wireline service. You maybe right on them just having frac services there.

Are you in Ft. Smith?

kyle the outfit i run here in houston does a shit load of work for weatherford ,,,they have a huge outfit here in town ,,,you could try to get on with them and then work on getting transfered to houston or dallas area ,,,they do have great pay and benifits ,,,

and here and dallas has many diff job classifactions so if you can get your foot in door you would do real good with them
