Jobless and Frustrated NTers check in VOL. WE NOT-WORKIN!!!

do it i made the move from atl to l.a. last november and just moved from l.a. to san antonio this weekend  , its worth the risk and if you want to go back home you can transfer after 6 months 
Yeah Imma send my app today to that place. I did some research and it looks like I can't transfer until after my one year mark and even then it has to be a real excuse to transfer back to CA... this isn't an oil and gas company btw, but it's a pretty big place.
 
My contract is up next month at this company I'm currently working, need to start going to interviews. haha
 
got a job interview in a couple of days  for a Grocery store, what do i need to know..please help...i haven't gotta an interview in days and really need the job

No experience will be brand new to me. Ill pm you once I get home taking physical ATM. You were the wielder correct
 
Yes sir that'd be me.

Any and all information would be appreciated.

Doesn't even have to be a welder position TBH, I just want to stack bread and make a career for myself. Busting my *** along the way.

Edit: And when something becomes available to come closer to home, i'd do it.

i feel you but you do wanna put that to use especially since you put the time in to get certified. you got any kids or serious relationships at home because the oilfield work will keep you from home a lot 
 
Luckily no kids, GF of five years who just graduated with an HR degree from a CSU the Friday before last.
 
rrlegend, you got any info on well-testers - as far as their duties, pay, etc?

btw, did you get your cdl in cali?
 
Looking for a job in Houston TX

I have an issue. I'm an immigrant and have had an expired work permit for the last 3 years, forcing me to do odd jobs to cover my bills and as such, I have learned the skills of DJing and photography, but as I just got a new worker's permit that is valid, I would like a normal job in addition to my gigs..

..but I haven't worked in 3 years on paper, and don't know how I'd get re-acclimated to the normal work world. Have yall ever gone a long time without working? Where'd you pick back up at?

I'm a strong 6'3 big dude as well, so I was wondering how I could get into manual labor with no experience.

College senior, communications major computer science minor at University of Houston

Well skilled in graphics and local marketing. Connected to lots of other creatives and movers/shakers because of my DJ and photo experience
 
...got a call from an old employer after my posting,

I was caught off guard. Extremely.

I interview Thursday afternoon.

Nah, the place that I applied to was for an office job.. its not in the o&g industry.

I applied for office positions at a few o&g companies but haven't heard anything so far.

I'm just doing research on different positions and possibly getting a cdl and what not. thanks man.
 
Just heard back from the place I interviewed at a few weeks ago. I'm on the shortlist of final candidates. Hoping that I can get at least 30 hours so that I can still interview at other places should I still get them. Cant even get something part time with my skill set because employers know that I will be gone given the first opportunity.

yeah i feel you i researched working in the oil & gas field for a long time before i started applying. i tell everybody as long a you have a cdl you have a job that pays at least 50-65k a year easy.
 
Not sure if this is the place to ask but....

For those who LIVE in Dallas (Ricky409 and anyone else), is moving from California to Dallas for a 30k a year job worth it? I'm looking into going in to probation (plan F... :lol :{ ) and I see there's an opening for a juvenile probation officer.

I know that 30k a year is like pennies in LA so I wanted to know how it is in Dallas?
