    Tonnie - I know exactly what you mean! I spent the past 4 years sitting in front of a computer 9-5, and just wasn't what i wanted to do! Don't get my wrong, I love working with computers, but need something hands on as well - which is why I jumped at the chance of the job I now do!

    Good luck, its a shitty world out there, and it does take a while to find somewhere to settle into as you just can't tell what a jobs gonna be like till you actually do it!

    Anything in particular? We're seperated into a few divisions, I work for Baker Hughes Inteq we specialized in drilling, theres baker oil tools who run the
    completions, Baker fluids who run the mud and cuttings handling and Baker Atlas
    who run the wire line tools.
    For Inteq the person to contact would be Debbie Berrisford. Shall I pm you her email?

    I've been doin' the offshore thing for about a year and a half now, fair enough as a chef and not as a real north sea tiger. It's the muts nuts!!!!!, fair enough you go away for a few weeks and work 12 hour shifts with no day off but there isn't any other job that will give you time off = time worked.
    Go for it is what I say. Plus you get two free helicopter rides a month.
    You will never know unless you go.
    Cheers for the compliments Stu and yes the Fortees Southern Trust is a ...............(I refuse to go back there)

    might take it as they said there was the opportunity to advance within 6 months.
