Looking to come back home in a few months, and was wondering the best way to go about getting on with someone in the Houston Area...
6 years military, 13 months and counting with KBR in the sandbox...
but it gets old and i need something stable around houston..

PM's are welcomed, as is any help whatsoever...

Toxic, if you have any hookups let me know man...Please

 

Do you have the 2 year degree? There is a butt load of plants hiring in the houston area this whole year. you shouldn`t have any issues getting one !Alot of people retiring!!

 

no soup... can i get that degree online? i thought that it wasnt needed... until you actually started working and doing it

 

check with certified, they do most of the hireing.

 

WHO?? is there a phone number? perhaps email address or website? Thanks for responding!!!

 

ttmft... im very patient and this is a test run to see if anything pops up....

They fact that you don't have a degree should not stop you from trying to get one of these jobs. Most of the big companies perfer a two year degree in process technology or three years maintenence experience. Depending on what you did in the military, that experience could be enough to get you a look. I got hired with no experience and I wasn't even finished with the certificate portion of the degree plan at Lee college. Get Certified a copy of your resume, check the sunday Houston Chronicle job section, and register with the Texas workforce commission.

 

Thats what i am talking about right there!!!! That info just made my day!!!!

 

I sent an email to that address, and it came back

They all need degrees.... or experience.. I have 7 years Logistics (5 1/2 military)under my belt, but dont want to do that anymore once i leave the desert. Including a couple years supervisory experience. Toxic thanks man for the excellent advice, i called certified and left a voicemail so hopefully they will call back tomorrow. We shall see.

 

You don't have to have a degree, but it does help if you've had a class or two, so you have some kind of idea about the pieces of equipment you're working with.

 

i will definately look into it! they offer the courses at Lee college? do they offer some tyoe of online deal? if i can do some classes online and at least have the cert done by the time i come back from here would save a bunch of heartache on having to sit on my *** while i "try" to find a job....

 

You can do some of the classes online, but I don't think all of the classes needed for the certificate are available online. You should be able to get a good number of the classes done via online.

 

emailed the process tech teacher..... im going to find out whats up..

 

Back up for any additional info

 

Take a look at our website.

i think i have already been there... would you like for me to send you a copy of my resume?

 

Nah, best thing you can do is apply via our website. I'm not a candidate recruiter, so I'm the wrong guy to get you into the program. I'm an account manager, which means I work with the companies to find the open jobs.
