Try surfing the internet.  I know you've probably already done this but maybe a bit more focused?  Try Rigzone.com or oilandgasjobs.com for starters.

To be honest, most crafts people are selected from countries like the Philipines, Malaysia, India, etc., as companies can get the labor dirt cheap and most often they do a surprizingly good job.  It's a very tough field to break into unless you have extensive experience or advanced education.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that is the reality of it.

Son, you need to apologize, because nobody in here could have explained it as real or any better without "Sugarcoating" it for you as D big K just did!!!

Now I know times are tough and you need to work in order to pay your bills, but if you think for one doggone minute that you can post a question like that in here and expect anyone to hand you the proverbial "Keys to the Castle" just because it's YOU that's doing the asking, then you need to rethink the type of work you want to do for a career!

Finally, Jon has been managing projects overseas for quite sometime now, and what he posted is  considered "Gospel."
So take his word for it and also follow his suggestions as well.... You also may want to get in touch with Dwayne (Cactusthewelder) if you think you really deserve a chance in hell after your comments towards DbigK! ;) Good luck because you're gonna need it - ROTFLMFAO AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! :) :) :) UDAMAN Dave!!! :) :) :)

I am not being snotty. There are no reputable recruiter's that do that. It is networking. And a lot of people get hired then submit resumes.
If you are looking for a skilled job, that being welder, fitter, etc. they get these workers from low wage base countries.
And since you do not have the experience, you will not get hired. 
You can look here or elsewhere, that is the reality.

I don't think BigK was being snotty at all, just telling you the facts, you have a snotty reply to someone who took time to tell you how it is!
