Energy Sector Thread - Operators, Engineers, Technicians Et Al

[kavaninho]

Sent 40+ applications to various companies this year, all went unanswered.

[trinidrift]

It happens still waiting to hear about the operator position there petrotrin and desalcott

the only easy day was yesterday

[Numb3r4]

40+ For this year alone....damn that's tough.

I wonder if Ministry of Labour has any idea of working conditions out there or the state of the unemployed and unemployment in Trinidad and Tobago.

[Numb3r4]

Serious question folks when was the last time you got a job posting from Caribbean Jobs?

Seems like its been a while.....well for me anyway.

[trinidrift]

No they don't and they don't care only looking out for their asses and party card holders

word of advice.

Because you sent applications to a company once at a certain time doesn't mean its enough. Sometimes you may be qualified for a position but the time you sent your resume, the position wasn't vacant or HR was not considering applicants at that time ...and sorry to say some companies simply remove the staples from resumes and send to the shredder.....

So every so often send application to same company.

I used to get a lot of calls up until 2015. Haven't received a call from an ad on that website again​.
I guess​ it's a combination of worker saturation and companies downsizing. Might be a while before anything gets better, if it does gets better that is.

for the 8 months home, i probably applied to one position ever other week, ... 2 or 3 for the month in total.. out of that i would get at least one call.

the last one being tucker, which was about a month ago.... probably the field applying for is saturated

and as the monkey saying.... i believe it applies to PLNC, every month or so i see the same ad from them, but never a call... hasn't stopped me from sending the same paperwork to them

budget is a big thing these days, they might get the approval to go to the market, but then the budget may not allow for a position and they cancel.

another example is Kaizen, they came out with an ad on a tuesday morning and by 2pm they took it down - they decided to use someone internally instead of outside hire

[gencon]

I about to go for an interview for office assistant.

Epic fail....what can I say I am desperate. I really gone to the dogs.

[gencon]

I know a woman who has a degree in industrial engineering and works as an executive assistant.

[trinidrift]

Good luck. At this point it's anything to keep the lights on. Look I doing the uber thing for that reason

And dont give up hope.
I think I still have the letter from the company I now work for saying that they have no vacancies right now. At least they wrote, most others didnt.
I think about a week after getting the letter I get a call asking if I still interested in the position.

[d12390123]

Anyone in here get called about the refinery operator thingy? Hearing men sour they eh get called as they heard calling start.

Yeah I get call. Went for the interview. Say they will be in touch.

Hi, how long after you submitted your documents for verification did Petro call you to do the exam? And how many days after doing the exam did they call you for the interview? This info might help everyone who's waiting for a call have an idea as to when they can expect feedback (if any)!

Anybody got called after the interview for this yet??? I did the interview and they said they will be in touch.

[trinidrift]

Dude it's the suspense that kills me

[gencon]

How that working out? What's your daily earnings?

[vaiostation]

Well petro said they would have called me in a week after the interview.
That was about three weeks ago. The apprenticeship program starting this month so I probably got blanked already...

Noticed this from a few companies well, I usually check C-Jobs throughout the day and would note certain positions I'm interested in applying for, but quite a few time when I check back on some the same day it goes up the position is removed.

Ill ask around when I see the guys from petro.

But they usually take long in there. I know they do their HW on potential employees too.

[trinidrift]

Thanks bro. That would be a good thing to find out. I trying to find out myself but no answer

[Joshie23]

I about to go for an interview for office assistant.

Epic fail....what can I say I am desperate. I really gone to the dogs.

Bro, you could have put a gun to someone's back or a knife to someone's throat..that to me, is 'gone to the dogs'. Putting an honest dollar on the table, that's what makes a man, a man..unlike these cowards that are robbing people daily to buy another pair of J's..keep being a man. Talk done.

[trinidrift]

How that working out? What's your daily earnings?

So far it's paying the bills
Not really. I keep the hours during the day and I don't go anywhere idk. Plus I have a "lil added protection" with me always.

Does it pose great risk to yourself, do you feel that you are in danger at any time?

I hear yuh breds

i didn't get the job though, the interviewer said I would be too much of a distraction for the young ladies there. lol. jk

say whah! small ting.

[nervewrecker]

Well no word on the apprenticeship programe.
Heard is only like 12 men for RO.

Again, not 100% sure. Is a newscarrier I hear it from

[vaiostation]

^^^ when I went for the interview someone at hr told me that they were currently "reviewing", the amount of operator trainee's and apprentice's they were going to take in. Judging from the number you gave they basically cut it in half

[trinidrift]

Yea that sounds like a drastic cut. So I got back my old job going back out in the morning. Not sure if it will be a regular thing but it is still something

[vaiostation]

Congrats!!!

[gencon]

Good luck.
