Doug Pettifer in Hamilton, New Zealand said: I am a electrical contractor in New Zealand. If you are interested in work in New zealad or Australia try looking on the following url seek.co.nz .This is a job agancy in NZ that lists jobs both in NZ and Aus . I know there is a shortage of good electricans in the mining and industrial fields in Australia and they are paying top dollar for sparkys . You could also try your local ADECCO employment agents " these folks are world wide and handle international jobs . I got work through them in Australia .

It is great privilege for me to approach you in this day and i am interested to job you are offering. i have experience in construction and maintenance.

Stevie9 in Belfast, United Kingdom said: Hello,
I have applied for a countless number off jobs as an electrician with kbr and have not heard one word back regarding this, should i take it as i have not been considered?
I am JIB reg electrician, what is the journeyman electrician or is that just an american term??
Thanks

If you applied for an electrical position with kbr, did you- while applying- only put your resume in once? If so, you will NOT hear from them. You have to apply for EVERY "JOB NUMBER" listed under the department title that you are looking for. Once a job number has been filled, all applications associated with that number are removed- they DO NOT forward your resume to the next job. This is up to you. Beleive what I am telling you- I have been putting in resumes/applications with them for MANY people for over 17 years- and they have ALL recieved call backs. Good luck.

If I might add to that a little

Crystal is right, apply for every job that you are qualified for. My only suggestion is not to do it all at the same time. A former recruiter told me that when they go to fill a position the resumes are listed in order by date filed, with the most recent on top. They will work down that list until they fill that position, and they will generally fill a bunch of positions at one time. So by applying for a few positions every couple of days will increase the chance of getting your resume read. They will also use computer screening to select the resumes with the most key words in them. Have a very well written resume and apply for all the jobs that fit into you skills.

What Fluor requires is a state license. There is still a few states that do not require one, I am not sure what they are doing in those cases. That might be where the contractors license is coming into play in NY.

the only way to get a lic.in NY is as a contractor and the hall will give you a letter telling employers that NY doesn't have a JW.lic. only your dues ticket and a state card saying you did your time and tested out with the board of ed.

i worked there too in Grand Blanc, Michigan

hey moron,
i was in the union and still am. let me tell you how good they are. they could careless if you lose your house or everything you own just as long as you keep paying your dues. They take my money and do nothing for it. Sounds like a wife. Ive been out of work for almost 3 years and havent had 1 call. So all the money ive given them was for what? They're paid to get to find work. So maybe they should be fired. Some of us made the sacrifice to go overseas to pay the bills and support our families. So either yu dont have a family and are a MOOCH(off unemployment) or you are one of the typical people who whine cause they're broke and are unwilling to do what it takes to provide for yourself or your family. So step off your soapbox. I applaud all those men and women who went overseas to provide for themselves and their families. SO GO AHEAD AND KEEP MOOCHING WHILE I PAY THE BILLS.

It was about a week someone from houston contacted me and asked if I had a jouneymans liscense and if I had a passport. I did not have a passport so I had one expedited in it took about 2 to 3 weeks to get it. so if you can, make sure you have your passport. Then I had to take a copy of both and e-mail them to here and she will send them to fluor and in about 2 to 3 weeks I will hear from them. It took them about 2 months to contact me my recruiter said I guess I was one that slipped through. He says from the first day I talked to him their goal is to have me in Greenville in 2 to 3 weeks. Hope this helps

Fluor starts with the same money unless you get a foreman's job than it's $133,900 with a $3000 bonus after 90 day's and $3,200 upon return from R&R and they only want guy's with a lic. so that kills guy's who's state has no lic. unless they are a contractor on the side. guy from my local might get to test out but it's up in the air now hope this helps I'm on my final leg of getting out after I get an up date from my DR.and am at this for 4 weeks so far Good Luck out their

They have a ton of electrician jobs posted. As far as contact info, you don't want to cold call a recruiter. That's a good way not to get hired.
