How does someone apply for these jobs?
yes he can without a driver license,if his id show he lives where he says he does,example escrosaworkforce,i live in santa rosa and they took mine as proof,or he can take a bill or somthing like that to show he lives there,and social card,and no fellonies within ten years,and a drug test
They are trying to hire all of the locals but we need anyone who is willing to help clean up this disaster! My friends and I are trying to leave our jobs of 5 years to help clean this mess up! Drug free hard workers!
$10-$18 per hr. that is chump change, they expect people to be out there for 14hrs a day for that pay, when BP is picking up the bill, can you imagine the rate the company is charging BP, i would estimate $150 per hr. for each worker, and they are only topping out at $18, WOW!!!
let’s quit talking about it and get out there and get ready to clean it up!!! . because i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is a world of hurt comming to our beaches and wildlife!!!. i am a laid off electrician for over a year,and i have nothing but time on my hands. i would love to help . i don’t mind getting oily or working long hours. heck, i’ll live in a tent on the beach so i can stay on the job!! let’s get this going. because hell is comming to breakfast.
Is there a way to apply for a position after the job fair has already passed, such as a way to apply online or somewhere to go?
My brother wants to help with the clean-up but he does not have a driver’s license, however he does have an ID and proof of citizenship. Can he still help?
My niece said she was going to apply. Ha , takes major oil spill for her to look for a job !
Are applications being taken online? If so, what is the website?
Is there anyway to apply to these jobs online?
must pass drug test….that will make it a short line.
Are these jobs located in Louisiana, or are they hiring for “maybe” positions along the NW Florida coast?
There looks like there are over 500 people in line at the Escarosa center in Pensacola right now.
