Hello all. Delta is very correct, Young graduates should not go after Contract jobs when you can get Permanent posiitions in other companies, no matter the coy, whether oil/gas coy or not, Contract job is a mess, You can be dismissed at any time, and there is nothing you will do about it, and the most painful part of it is not being dismissed at any time, if not that there is no career ladder for you as a Contract Staff, You can never become a Supervisor, (can u imagine that), they will just use u, pay you stipends that you call "big money" and then dump you anytime they feel like, IT is better to wait for the real thing, it mit be difficult but i tell you, you will never regret waiting for a permanent employee posiiton in any coy, It is better to be a permanent employee in a coy paying you 50k than be in an Oil/Gas as a contract taking 250k, I know what am saying, i am talking from experience, Your 50k job is permanent and then you will rise on the job, but in contract, you will end up saying "Sir Sir" to your younger ones who will wait and come in as permanent employees in that company, And for you, Jaychuks, what kind of contract job are u doing in chevron, are u a Service Contractor or a Labour Contractor, As a Labour Contractor, i dont think your salary could be upto that, and if you are a Service Contractor, i hope you are seriously looking for another job that is a permanent employee job because that your job is not guaranteed, it is not a curse, it is something we have seen over and over, I worked in chevron, so i know what i am saying, I would have agreed to the fact that it is a good start but then people usually get stucked in it and will not look for better jobs again until when they are dismissed ; some even retire as Contract Staff, it is not good my peeps, we are still young, so lets go for the real thing NOW, b4 it is too late,
Good luck to you all.
