I started to apply for oil field jobs about a month ago. I called one company today after not hearing anything from them and I basically was told that they were being inundated with applications and that I wouldn't have a chance since I don't have the expierance. This is quite a different message than I got before I went to trucking school. The only company interested in me so far is a hiring agency that wants me to sign a contract agreeing that I will be liable for a $2,000 fee if I don't show up to orientation or if I fail my background check. Seems to me they're going to be working extra hard to find a reason to get me to cough up the money. I don't think I want to take that kind of a chance even though I have a spotless criminal/driving record.
What's the deal?
Whats the deal? Are the oilfields hiring newbies or not?

Halliburton, schlumberger, cal frac, and frac tech are all hiring in nd and require no experience. Www.theshopperinc.net. Jobs in the back. trucking companies can be more picky and require driving experience. You will hate to hear that halliburton and slb put u thru their own driving school.

Don't you have to go thru SOS Staffing to get on at schlumberger?
