Lotta work for doctors and nurses.

I applied at KBR and before they got my resume they were wanting me and offered 122K. Now that I have my passport and they know I have a State Master's card they're ignoring me.

Call information for their Houston, TX office number and ask for the LOGCAPIII HR Generalist who handles the Skilled Jobs in IRAQ and Afganistan.

I'll try that, their Senior Recruiter Vanessa Henley was all over me a month ago, now she won't return e-mails or phone calls.

Try again and ask for Ms Kelly instead and mention my name. or ask for the Houston number in Baghdad and call Scott Booth there.

I worked for KBR when it was just B&R. If you like being lied to and treated like dirt you will fit in .
I would think looooooooooooooooooooooooooong and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard before I would work oveseas for them.
From what I have seen they just can not be trusted.

Also when in the middle east always carry extra TP and never shake hands with your left hand!

I was told by a recruiter at another company that he's picked up 7 electricians that quit KBR because they were promised one pay but had it cut once they got overseas. Don't know if that's true or not and don't know how they could even do that if it were true. I'm waiting on two other companies that say they have contracts, they're just waiting on the go-ahead. Just trying to get ALL available info on who's hiring or might be. With a State of Alabama Master's card, 35 years in the trade, 14 as a contractor, I don't want to whore myself out too cheap.

Called but was told they have several Kelly's and need a first name. My e-mail is grwood1953@aol.com if you don't want to post it.

What is Bagdad's contribution to America's economy?

The fact we haven't been attacked in 8 years helps. And you complain too much. IMO

The U. S. citizens that work overseas make a lot of money, and most come home and pay off debts. That's a good thing in my book.

If you like feeling inprisoned go right ahead. If you work on the bases once you get there you don't leave the base. I've had several buddies go over and said that if they knew what it was like before they went they would never went the first time.

For what you have to go through the money really isn't that great and the barbaric electrical work you have to try and fix is even worse.

One buddy that went over there was running a crew and said they dug up mines all the time that were left from the Afghan/Russian war. Don't know about you but that doesn't sound to fun to me.

Joe, I finally got a recruiter at KBR that would help. Said all they have is an opening for a superintendent. I sent my resume, copy of my State Masters card and she wants documentation of how I got my card. WTF? It was an 8 hour test administered by Block & Associates (now Prometric I believe). I told her that but she needs documentation to take to management. There IS no documentation other than my State Masters Card. I'm getting frustrated......
