    Man being from NH I know you will appreciate this. Check out the comedian Bob Marley. He's from there and really brings a lot of home into his acts. Has his own website with audio. Hilarious!

    Wish I could catch one of his shows.

    Yeah man, why pay a private school $6000 plus interest when you can do the same thing and have a job when your done and not pay interest! Your real learning will come once you are with your trainer. You will learn more on day one with your trainer then the whole three weeks of school!

    Based on the information in the threads here; there are folks who are getting them coming out of school like myself. The reason it would appear that they are getting those jobs have one thing in common.

    They are going to the places and applying in person. That would indicate to me that personnel salesmanship of ones self is an important factor.

    I would like to get some information from those who are familiar with the interview with Halliburton.

    I received this email and will be talking with them tomorrow. This is the email I got.

    I am currently going through applications for our entry level operator assistant position we have open in Pampa Texas. This position is currently working a 6 day on and 3 day off shift. They are averaging 70-100 hours per week. We offer health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, and retirement beginning your first day of employment.


    (Questions about the bold and red I highlighted)


    You must be able to obtain a class A CDL license and pass a background check, drug/alcohol test and a DOT physical to be eligible for this position.
    (Flying Colors will Pass and Meet the above paragraph)


    If you are interested in relocating for this position, and would like to schedule a phone/or in person interview with me to discuss the possibility of obtaining employment with us, please email me back or call the number below.




    Okay I have made contact with her and the phone interview is for tomorrow. With that said I know very little about the Pampa, Amarillo Area. I have driven though there once. It bought back child hood memories of watching little house on the prairie. That was in Dalhurst TX.



    I come from a Door To Door Sales background of 8 years. Where I go out into the world and make a living convincing others. ie Initiative motivated person.


    Overall it accomplishes my Oilfield experience and driving as well. Since I don't like waiting if anyone has info on the interview, job and trng info please let me know. :biggrin_25514:


    Thank You
