DO NOT PAY for, “money up front” Oil and Gas jobs.

  1. DO NOT PAY ANYBODY UP FRONT FOR A JOB or the promise of a job! This actually is illegal in a lot of states!
  2. DO NOT buy a list, You can get this information on the internet without paying for it. Most Oil Field company’s at this time are NOT HIRING entry level personnel.
  3. DO NOT pay upfront for one day training. An 8 hour film WILL NOT prepair you for Oilfield work and IT IS NOT REQUIRED or NECESSARY.
  4. DO NOT pay ANYBODY for a background or reference check, and a pre employment drug screen. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR THIS. ANY company willing to offer you a job will do there own background check at there own expense.
