Schlumberger employment odds.

I am hoping to get into the oil field before the next bust. Schlumberger seems like it might be a good option with a 15/6 rotation with paid housing and transportation.

I applied via Elwood, they said there is a hiring freeze right now as Schlumberger can't keep up with the number of people coming in. That they will hopefully start the interview and hiring process up again in a few weeks.

I was just curious on what my odds were on getting hired...and hired at the higher end of the $75k-105k they have listed as starting? I have had a cdl since 2009. Ran buses from 2009-14, then ran straight trucks 2014-now as well as tractor trailers 2016-now. Straight trucks were articulated knuckle boom cranes, so I have experience with those. I have a P endorsement now. I immediately started the process to get my Hazmat, it does not list it as a job requirement, but I don't see it hurting. I will get the doubles and tanker at same time as the Hazmat, when my threat assesment comes back.

Just not sure what to expect, or how long it will take.

 

Yeah? It vaguely sounded like I would be bottom rung with the companies without 2 years oil field experience.

 

Well I am making $65Kish locally running livestock into Chicago and Detroit 4 nights a week. So I am not wanting to jump at just anything necessarily. I got interested in the Schlumberger position given the flights home and the listed $38 an hour.

I appreciate the advice though. I think prior to my current job I might have jumped at that idea.

 

Southwest Michigan. I am pretty much half way between Chicago and Detroit.

 

It is listed about 40 miles away from me, but states it is actually in TX.
