Some drills are year round. Especially in FSJ. Progress has 330 days of work appraently from my well testing friends.

Interview with the competitor. Better pay, but this time ill keep my fucking mouth shut. Not sure If I'll be in FSJ doe. I really did like working in that area and I'd love to go back.

Shell Albian is far from the city....and they have a pretty large on site airport..so you can likely fly directly into site...hope you are not staying in the city cause thats a pretty long commute/bus ride compared to suncor and syncrude

Also being asian in fort mac, so far I havent experience any extreme racism....though everyone asks where I am from...and when i say Vancouver...they give me a dumbfounded look and go "no i mean where in asia are you from?"

I hate being unemployed again.

I'm gonna go and give it another shot on Monday and apply around Nisku again. I've been here for about a month and had to get a warehouse job to pay the bills. I shouldn't have relied on Horizon. Shoulda kept applying and calling. Wasted time/money.

How would I find employment for the oil sands? Any specific websites to check out? So far I've checked fortmcmurrayjobshop and fortmcmurray online.

Anyone experience employment agencies into getting into the field?

LoL, find a city job first and wait for recruiters?
I work in retail and I have fuckin recruiters coming to steal my staff on a weekly basis...

Who are these recruiters and how are they finding them!

Luckily, my company is busy this whole month so I've been putting in 12 hour shifts and working Saturdays this past week trying to get used to long hours.

I am not sure, I have staff at least once a week come tell me that one of the "customers" offered them a job, and they are giving me their letter of resignation with like a 1 day notice.

But it annoys the hell out of me

still unemployed haha.

I'm pretty well known in the mine as the only asian guy as well HAHA

I saw lots of AZNs up there.

after tax?

450 a day after tax usually as a floorhand/leasehand.

Any leads today?

We will be living in Timberlea. Guess that isn't a surprise as most students live there.

The pick-up service bus rides will be an hour long each way.

ah icic, thats where I live, its actually a half decent neighbourhood
just cant wait till we get our own starbucks....cant stand driving to work without a coffee in hand.

Get a tassimo or nepresso?

Bid on a few pipelining jobs, but I have no experience pipelining, so not getting any call backs.

I applied at Precision and Savanna. Both told me rigs are still slow. Call back to follow up on applications. Trinidad needed an extra ticket that neither me or my buddy had. (EGSO?)

I followed up on Ensign, Akita, and Nabors. Same response. Still slow will pick up soon (hopefully). Left another message to the recruiter for Horizon. Still haven't heard anything back.

Currently working in a warehouse for a decent wage. Close to double double/hr. Way better than what I got back in Van.

Then i'd have to wash my reusable mug when I get to work haha #firstworldproblems

thinking about becoming a vagrant. skiipi you got temp work for me till i find something better?

Just head up to the mac and hang out at the 7-11 downtown.

sarcasm or not I can't tell.

Depends if you enjoy crystal and crack.

Don't even bother with the rigs, just take a 4 month course at keyano college and you can make up to $45/hour as a student and they set you up with a job. You also get student housing for under $500. Haul truck, finntech or power engineering.
