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.

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?

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.

But it annoys the hell out of me

Guess that isn't a surprise as most students live there.
The pick-up service bus rides will be an hour long each way.

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.

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.
