I would take whatever position you can to get in. Consider it a stepping stone. Scaffold builders are pretty entry level. Have you contacted certified in deer park? I believe they staff alot of BP facilities.

Definately get your name and resume into Certified, Manpower, Johnson Recruiting, etc. Thats a start. Just keep your eyes and ears peeled, and talk to anyone you run into thats wearing coveralls..........

Its gona be hard to get in with no experience and with no references. Best bet is a scafffold builder helper or like a sandblaster/painter. I didnt work for the past month but just got the call starting a job wednesday. Try BRAND, BROCK, INDUSTRIAL GUNITE, TURNER. EASIEST companies to get in.

Mundy is the contractor at my plant. They are always hiring. One of the big turn a round contractors should get the bid to rebuild our Coker unit that was melted down a few weeks ago.. That will be at least a year to 2 years worth of work.

To work as a cook or what? Unless you have experience or went to school you're most likely not going to get on. There's to many people ahead of you with experience and education in the field to leap over. You can try but you need to have a back up if you need money bad enough. Good luck


Try these places
Kindermorgan
Baytank
Petro United
