need a job

[heavyhitter89]

looking for some work in the tyler Kilgore or surrounding area, please if you know anybody hiring let me know, just moved up here and its hard trying to find work when you don't know the area. thanks in advance

[charles]

There are numerous O&G companies in tyler, possibly in kilgore too. If thats ur cup of tea, they might be hiring. I drove up there just to hear "no experience, no job". I nvr understood how u get the experience if nobody will hire bc u dont have experience. Im runnin into that problem with avn maint, gotta have exp, but cant get it bc i dont have it. Good luck, i hope u find something

[heavyhitter89]

yea a lot of those places are not hiring until after the first of the year, so it sucks right noww

[charles]

 yep, that's another thing im running into in the avn community, or they are a 2hr drive 1 way and the pay is what I was making and barely getting by on before the contract changed over, but like you said, nothing till after the new yr.

[heavyhitter89]

yea its a horrible time of year right now for finding a job, where you located at?

[charles]

 ft hood, Waco/temple area.
iv got a job overseas once my clearance comes back, but I refigured the math on it and its 1300 a wk to eat sand, smell all of obama's goat humping kinfolks. Im gonna get my interim security clearance and tell them to get bent, unless they renegotiate the wages.

[heavyhitter89]

yea no joke on that one..how far are you from tyler?

[charles]

3hrs 1 way

If your in kilgore and have any oilfield experience, or have a good work ethic, you Should try Stream-Flo. I was shop foreman there until i transfered down south to run the shop here.Im hearing there not haveing good luck with the shop guys they have there now.

[charles]

 so how do you get oilfield experience if no1 will hire bc you don't have the experience?

[mikejc]

The sad truth is in most case's... Fake it till you make it! Or just plain ol luck.

yea, I cant lie about my experience, bc if they actually do call to verify, then that's lie #1 they got ya in, if they don't call and you get on the job and don't know how to do it but you said you did, that lie #2. I don't mind stretching the truth or bold face lying depending on who it is, but for the most part, my pops beat it into me to tell the truth no matter what. honesty always pays off. well used to pay off. I know I don't like being lied to, especially by the company I work or plan to work for, so its not right to lie to them. I ran into this issue with a company that took part of the contract over on ft hood. I get to work on day 1, 3hrs into the first day, myself and 59 other from 3 different hangars got our 30 day lay notice. the mid of the month, a job fair was being held and so happen that the company I just got my lay off notice from was there. I ask about any other positions available, handed my resume to her, she looked it over and ask me if I had my a&p (airframe and powerplant license), I said no, she says to go get it, email her a copy of it asap upon receiving it, and she could get me overseas, just as long as I can pass a d&a screening and background ck. mid aug, $3000 later for the license, I send her the copy of my cert, my resume again and now 2 months later, still sitting around suckin the poo off my thumb. iv called, left messages, emailed and have not heard back in a month. the last I heard was "the hiring manager has my resume and is gathering up the last couple resumes for the last few positions", again, a month ago.

yea that's how I got started, I had to fake it from the get go. thanks for the info man, Ill have to go up there and see.
