    I'm just curious if anyone has attended a Sanjel job fair, and if it was worth your time? Their ad says they hire without experience, so I am considering flying out to one at the end of the month. I just want to see if it's worth the trip, or if I should stick to sending in an online app or resume, as I know a lot of companies' job fairs are basically just big advertising opportunities with relatively little hiring actually happening.

    Thanks for any input.

    Ditto, I'd love someone to comment on the fairs or the Sanjel experience / application process in general. I am thinking of driving over to SA on Thursday.

    Hey man, just to update. I went to one of their open house things in San Antonio last week and got an offer. The format is a presentation followed by a short interview with a head of the crew type you applied for, and then they call you back next week if they are interested.

    Frac is kool a lot of guys job hoping it's a good start point...cement is good too more hrs....I'm frackn now at calfrac San Antonio but corp. Greed is costing more $ outa ur pocket. Gna switch to cement when it opens up shortly but frac ain't as hard as ppl make of it....If company keeps u busy ur looks around 75-120k$ yr...not bad just gta swallow being away from home good luck on ur adventure...If u get hired n go driver training tell Jerry n Robert KY gotcha back lol...those r good driver/dot guys
