Living situation is tough but if you look hard enough you can find housing and hotels. I was in a hotel last night.

Man camps aren't allowed to be built for the next 6months. they want to work on roads before more people come. My hotel was 60bucks. I went to job service nd and filled out apps but no call backs. Then I filled them out again and went in person to each company. Its only my 4th day here. Its weird because last week I was asking the same questions. Its not easy finding a job here. I got lucky. I have to work at 3am and wont be back for a few days. Ill try to answer all the questions I can.

It's not easy finding a job here? Why, because you had to take the applications to the actual companies to get hired? You've been here how long and have a job that pays 6 figures?

Geez... the things people say sometimes.

Lol. Because if this company didn't hire me I was pretty much out of options. Willisson doesn't have more than 50 offices for oil companies. I guess its all about the way you present yourself. I talked to guys that have been here a while and haven't found a job. If you so come here be ready for multiple random drug tests
