This thread was inspired by Scotian's thread. Didn't want to hijack it so I started a new one.
This is for people who are desperate for a job to make some money and have no other options. The work I am going to describe doesn't pay much per hour and is hard work. You will walk anywhere from 10 -20 kms a day. You will work 90+ hours a week. Basically if you have any other options you should take them.
The job is Seismic and it's the bottom of the barrel for the oil industry. You don't need a resume or a vehicle to get a job. The interview consists of asking you if you can walk and work long hours.
You can look under Geophysical Services in the phone book to see the companies. The big ones in Canada are CGG Veritas and SAExploration. They both require you to pass a drug test and a physical. Eagle and Sourcex are two others that are big, however you will work with less savory characters.
Starting pay is between 12-15 an hour. You can still clear over 2000 every 2 weeks. This is because you work so many hours. All your food i paid for if you are in camp. You get $40 a day if you are in town.
The work season will end at the beginning of April in Canada.
I know CGGVertitas also has lots of work in the US and is year round. Unfortunately they don't pay nearly as well. Starting pay is $7 and change in the US.
To get a better starting wage I would suggest saying you have experience and are a troubleshooter. This should get you a few extra dollars an hour.
This is definitely not everyone and is very demanding work. Thats about all I can think of for now. If anyone has any questions, let me know.
