Engineering job board- Your one stop solution for all your oil and gas jobs vacancies
Getting the right talent for your oil and gas job vacancies can be quite a challenge. You certainly look for a qualified candidate who can set off the hefty package plus the bonus and benefits. Here’s how engineering job boards can be the solution to your oil and gas jobs vacancies.
By registering with an engineering job board, it saves you time and from stressing over qualified CV mining. You don’t require advertising your vacancies on multiple job advertising mediums like newspapers, journals and on the regular job boards. Engineering job boards have a huge CV database plus active job seekers visiting the site almost daily.
They can prove to be a Godsend for all your vertical job vacancies in oil and gas. They offer CV browsing services for a wide spectrum of job portfolio ranging from graduate oil and gas jobs to Senior Geologist.
At an affordable monthly charge you can get an access to their CV database and can start your head hunting right away. You can filter your CV search to quickly find the suitable match for your oil and gas jobs vacancies. If you are not sure of the quality of the specialty job board’s data, you can choose to take a free trial before you decide to make the investment. This option is often sought after by professional recruiters and oil and gas companies having staffing requirements on continual bases.
If you don’t wish to take the ordeal of searching through CVs, you can choose to advertise your oil and gas jobs vacancies on their board. By doing so, interested applicants who match the job description can directly send across their CVs to you. You can get your job ad posted along with your company logo at a nominal monthly charge. This way you cut short the otherwise time intensive recruitment process.
The unique proposition of specialty job boards is reaching out to the target audience. You can easily find candidates who have the educational background and the technical expertise in a specific sector. Say, you are looking for Reservoir Engineer from the electro-mechanical disciple. You might not get many applications for such specific job profiles on regular job boards or through other general job advertising platforms.

Madigan Mine $12.49 Alex doesn"t know what he wants to do, how to connect with people or what"s good for him. He drifts his way through dead-end jobs and fumbled relationships, unable to find a way out of the rut his life has become. Then he runs into Madigan Sargood and everything changes. A ray of light shining from an almost-forgotten past, Madigan is beautiful and impulsive, enigmatic and passionate beyond measure. This is what it means to live, Alex realises, and to love. Never mind that she can be somewhat possessive. Never mind that his best friend thinks there"s something wrong with her, something dangerous even. Never mind that the creepy band of misfits she attracts have all but taken over his home. Madigan fills Alex"s life with significance; he will put up with anything to be with her. Until, without any warning, she kills herself. Now Alex can"t seem to get her out of his head, and his world – along with his sanity – begins to disintegrate. Black outs and missing time, conversations he can"t recall, people he can"t remember. Is this the product of a diseased and lovesick mind, or can Madigan really be trying to communicate with him? When the past threatens to obliterate the future, Alex is forced to take action. To save himself and those he loves, he must discover the sinister reason why Madigan took her own life – and why she won"t lie still in her grave. |

50 Jobs in 50 States: One Man’s Journey of Discovery Across America $15.95 Like lots of college grads, Daniel Seddiqui was having a hard time finding a job. But despite more than forty rejections, he knew opportunities had to exist. So he set out on an extraordinary quest: fifty jobs in fifty states in fifty weeks. And not just any jobs—he chose professions that reflected the culture and economy of each state.Working as everything from a cheesemaker in Wisconsin, a border patrol agent in Arizona, and a meatpacker in Kansas to a lobsterman in Maine, a surfing instructor in Hawaii, and a football coach in Alabama, Daniel chronicles how he adapted to the wildly differing people, cultures, and environments. From one week to the next he had no idea exactly what his duties would be, where he’d be sleeping, what he’d be eating, or how he’d be received. He became a roving news item, appearing on CNN, Fox News, World News Tonight, MSNBC, and the Today show—which was good preparation for his stint as a television weatherman.Tackling challenge after challenge—overcoming anxiety about working four miles underground in a West Virginia coal mine, learning to walk on six-foot stilts (in a full Egyptian king costume) at a Florida amusement park, racing the clock as a pit-crew member at an Indiana racetrack—Daniel completed his journey a changed man. In this book he shares stories about the people he met, reveals the lessons he learned, and explains the five principles that kept him going.   |

An Airplane Was My Burro: The Memoirs Of A Venturesome Geologist $14.64 The author of this memoir is a retired Economic Geologist who was privileged to work for several mining companies in the fields of metals and energy. He was also employed by the Illinois State Geological Survey and by the Foreign Section of the US Geological Survey and taught one year at The Wisconsin School of Mines between jobs. His first love was minerals exploration and he was very successful as he found a major reserve of zinc in SW Wisconsin, a very good uranium mine in New Mexico and several large strip coal reserves in the Western and Central United States. His ability as an airplane pilot served him well, particularly in his work on western coals. The variety of his work experience makes for numerous interesting stories and many insightful geological observations. He was about to embark on a career as a pitcher in professional baseball when he received a scholarship to the University of Chicago and discovered geology. |

Appalachian Daughter: The Exodus of the Mountaineers from Appalachia $17.5 Appalachian Daughter-35987Not since the Dust Bowl days of the 30’s have so many residents of one area of our great country migrated to another in search of a better way of life. The sturdy ancestors of this group had followed Dniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap a century or more before and were ready to follow their leaders to a new life elsewhere. Appalachian Daughter was written to chronicle the exodus of a number of leading families from the Pine and Black Mountain areas of Eastern Kentucky. Collectively, these mountains are known simply as the “Cumberlands” and form a section of the Appalachian Mountain Range.After the Second World War, the area was so poverty stricken many of the mountaineers left their homes for fertile Southern Indiana farms or went on to cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati in search of factory jobs. Coal mining was the only job available in Eastern Kentucky. When the mine operators refused to budge on employee welfare or safety issues, the leaders decided to abandon the only profession they knew and start their lives anew in other places.This story tells of one of those families who migrated and their struggles for acceptance. It attempts to show the impact of this migration on Indiana and other states. It also shows the dismal prospects of those left behind, prospects that would require fifty years to mend. The area would not heal until it had produced, reared and educated new leaders to take the place of those who left.This story is about my family. I hope you enjoy reading of our exploits. |

Bad Man’s Blood $17.98 For decades, bluesman and songwriter Ray Bonneville worked day jobs while playing his songs in coffee houses and house parties at night, eventually earning a place on international festival stages with Muddy Waters and Bukka White long before he had a recording contract. Since 1993, Bonneville’s issued a host of recordings of consistently high quality. 2008’s Goin’ by Feel, produced by Gurf Morlix, scored him a number one at Americana with “I Am the Big Easy,” his tribute to New Orleans (Bonneville lived there before relocating to Austin). Bad Man’s Blood was co-produced with Justin Douglas and Morlix (electric, baritone, and bass guitars and banjo), percussionist Mike Meadows, and saxophonist Dexter Payne, in various combinations. Bonneville plays an amalgam of acoustic and electric guitars, harmonica, and his trademark foot stomp. The blues songs — the poetic, narrative title track (inspired no doubt by hardbitten characters from Gothic American fiction) to raw, skeletal, electric snaky rhythm constructions like “Mississippi,” that addresses the Delta’s tradition in his playing and the horrors of the river flooding in its historical story line. “Night Walker” is a spooky 12-bar, too, but in its acoustic, minor-key architecture, it feels more like a tango. Elsewhere, “Sugar and Riley” has more New Orleans R&B in it, especially with its strolling sax lines and shuffling percussion. “Good Times” and “River John,” though very different songs in feel and melody, come from French Canadian and Cajun folk melodies. “Darlin’ (Put Your Suitcase Down),” with a beautiful harmony vocal by Morlix and his slow, pulsing bassline, offers Bonneville a supporting tightrope to walk on the most vulnerable love song he’s written. “Blonde of Mine” is acoustic Cajun blues at its best, and there are few as good at it as Bonneville. There are no clich? s, just the heart of the music’s grain. “Crosses and Flowers” is knife-edged in its narrative tension. Morlix and Bo… |

Ball, Bat and Bitumen $36.94 They emerged from the mines, shook off the coal dust, and stepped onto the diamond. From the early 1900s to the 1950s, baseball games between mine workers were a small-town phenomenon, each team attracting avid and intensely loyal fans. Talented part-time athletes competed at the amateur, semi-pro and professional levels. Equally competitive were the coal company officials, who often brought in ringers, or players of exceptional ability, giving them easier jobs above ground or a padded pay packet. Based on interviews with surviving players, families of deceased players, and contemporary sources, this thoroughgoing history covers not only teams and leagues but their function within the mining communities of Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia. The book features a special section on African-American mining teams, a coalfield map and many photographs. |

Equally competitive were the coal company officials, who often brought in ringers, or players of exceptional ability, giving them easier jobs above ground or a padded pay packet.Based on interviews with surviving players, families of deceased players, and contemporary sources, this thoroughgoing history covers not only teams and leagues but their function within the mining communities of Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia. The book features a special section on African-American mining leagues, a coalfield map and photographs. |

Black Days, Black Dust: The Memories of an African American Coal Miner $37.86 Among those drawn to jobs in the booming West Virginia coal mines during the first part of the twentieth century were thousands of African Americans. They proved successful in this industry — despite low wages and discrimination at the hands of mine operators. This book, the first published memoir by an African American coal miner, is a stirring tale of survival and achievement. Bob Armstead interweaves stories of family and community with a broad history of underground mining to paint an engrossing picture of the work, the dangers, and the drama of that industry.Armstead remembers his childhood, growing up in a segregated coal camp during the Great Depression, and he recalls his family’s efforts to confront economic challenges while also dealing with the reality of racism. His father worked as a horse driver in the mines until machinery put him out of work. Even though, as a youth, Armstead saw how his father had suffered, he himself went to work in the mines in 1947. From his first day on the job, coal mining fascinated him. He initally labored in a timber crew, shoring up mine roofs. Then, in a life peppered with mine closings and layoffs that sent him from one place to another in search of work, he eventually became a mining machine operator, a foreman over predominantly white crews, and finally a safety inspector.Black Days, Black Dust evokes a vivid sense of a coal miner’s life. Armstead’s recollections of his father provide descriptions of primitive mining methods in the 1930s and grueling twelve-hour work days. Armstead’s memories of his own career document his enthusiasm for mining and the work ethic that earned him responsible positions in the mines.Engagingly told,Armstead’s story is both a rich historical document and a moving portrait of one man’s life and how he overcame adversity. |

Borderline Americans: Racial Division and Labor War in the Arizona Borderlands $14.8 “Are you an American, or are you not?” This was the question Harry Wheeler, sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, used to choose his targets in one of the most remarkable vigilante actions ever carried out on U.S. soil. And this is the question at the heart of Katherine Benton-Cohen’s provocative history, which ties that seemingly remote corner of the country to one of America’s central concerns: the historical creation of racial boundaries.It was in Cochise County that the Earps and Clantons fought, Geronimo surrendered, and Wheeler led the infamous Bisbee Deportation, and it is where private militias patrol for undocumented migrants today. These dramatic events animate the rich story of the Arizona borderlands, where people of nearly every nationality—drawn by “free” land or by jobs in the copper mines—grappled with questions of race and national identity. Benton-Cohen explores the daily lives and shifting racial boundaries between groups as disparate as Apache resistance fighters, Chinese merchants, Mexican-American homesteaders, Midwestern dry farmers, Mormon polygamists, Serbian miners, New York mine managers, and Anglo women reformers.Racial categories once blurry grew sharper as industrial mining dominated the region. Ideas about home, family, work and wages, manhood and womanhood all shaped how people thought about race. Mexicans were legally white, but were they suitable marriage partners for “Americans”? Why were Italian miners described as living “as no white man can”? By showing the multiple possibilities for racial meanings in America, Benton-Cohen’s insightful and informative work challenges our assumptions about race and national identity. |

Chief Executive Officer $3.99 A witty tale of two disillusioned executives who meet by chance and swap careers only to find themselves unexpectedly and accidentally CEOs of strange organizations. Having a bad day at the office? How would you like to be CEO of a rapidly failing, 16 billion-dollar insurance corporation and you haven’t a clue about what to do? Why? Because you are there by mistake. Your real life has been that of an angry, over-the-edge labor leader with a history of battling copper mine owners with unconventional skills learned in Vietnam. What about the urbane, Madison Avenue business fellow who is supposed to be CEO of the corporation? He is up in Montana trying to do your job running a large miners’ union filled with thugs, torpedoes, and other assorted knuckle-breakers. Chief Executive Officer is the story of these two men, disillusioned with their own lives, making a stealthy switch and trying to run organizations for which they have neither training nor experience. In alien environments they battle to hold their jobs and keep their secret while facing hostile challenges ranging from computer crime to investigative reporters. Finally, an unexpected series of explosive events pit the two men against each other across the bargaining table in a struggle that can have only one victor. |

Company Towns of the Pacific Northwest $22.5 Company town. The words evoke images of rough-and-tumble loggers and gritty miners, of dreary shacks in isolated villages, of wages paid in scrip good only at price-gouging company stores, of paternalistic employers. But these stereotypes are out-dated, especially for those company towns that flourished well into the twentieth century. In Company Towns of the Pacific Northwest, Linda Carlson provides a more balanced and realistic look at these intentional communities. Many of the later towns attracted professionals as well as laborers; houses were likely to be clapboard Victorians or shingled bungalows; and the mercantile store carried work boots, baby diapers, and Buicks and extended credit even to striking workers. Company owners built schools, power plants, and movie theaters. Drawing from residents’ reminiscences, contemporary newspaper accounts, company newsletters and histories, census and school records, and site plans, the book looks at towns in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, considering who planned the towns and designed the buildings. It examines how companies went about controlling housing, religion, taxes, liquor, prostitution, and union organizers. This vibrant history gives the details of daily life in communities that were often remote and subject to severe weather–as much as 100 inches of rain a year near the coast or 10 feet of snow in the mountains. It looks at the tragedies and celebrations: sawmill accidents, mine cave-ins, and avalanches as well as Independence Day picnics, school graduations, and Christmas parties. Finally, it tells what happened when people left–when they lost their jobs, when the family breadwinner died or was disabled, when the millclosed. This lively and well-researched book will be welcomed by those interested in Northwest history, as well as students of labor and business history. An ample selection of illustrations, most never previously published, broadens its appeal. |

Cutthroats: The Adventures of a Sherman Tank Driver in the Pacific $7.99 Soon after we landed it became apparent that there was more than enough artillery here, that the enemy were excellent shots, and that their ammo supply seemed to be endless. With the Japanese deeply entrenched and determined to die rather than surrender, Robert Dick and his fellow soldiers quickly realized that theirs would be a war fought inch by bloody inch–and that their Sherman tanks would serve front and center. As driver, Dick had to maneuver his five-man crew in and out of dangerous and often deadly situations.Whether crawling up beaches, bogged down in the mud-soaked Leyte jungle, or exposed in the treacherous valleys of Okinawa, the Sherman was a favorite target. A land mine could blow off the tracks, leaving its crew marooned and helpless, and the nightmare of swarms of Japanese armed with satchel charges was all too real. But there was a war to be won, and Americans like Robert Dick did their jobs without fanfare, and without glory. This gripping account of tanker combat is a ringing testament to the awe-inspiring bravery of ordinary Americans. |

Dickenson County, Virginia (Images of America Series) $21.99 Dickenson County was formed in 1880 from parts of Wise, Russell, and Buchanan Counties. The county was named for William J. Dickenson, a legislator from Russell County who sponsored the bill in the House of Delegates that established it as the 100th county in Virginia. Dickenson has since been referred to as Virginia’s baby county. Daniel Boone may have been the first white man to see the area. In 1767, he and two others traveled northward from the Yadkin River in North Carolina and reached the headwaters of the West (later called Russell) Fork of the Big Sandy River. Dickenson has one of the largest underground stores of coal in the world, with coal and lumber providing the majority of jobs for the region. The county is home to bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, who is from Clintwood and was raised on Sandy Ridge. The county was home to “Ironman” Claude Fuller, who played baseball for the New York Yankees. The county is famous for the “Petticoat Government,” an all-women town council and a mayor that received national attention. One of the most tragic mining accidents occurred in Dickenson County in 1932 when an explosion at Splashdam Mine killed 10 men. |

When mine owners refused to honor their requests, miners went on strike, and owners hired scab labor from Europe, Asia, and Mexico. Tensions mounted, and local miners sabotaged mines by setting explosives |

Hanging Off the Edge —: Revelations of a Modern Troubadour $31.95 The next morning in Alpena, Michigan, lying exhausted in bed in yet another strange (but oh so familiar) motel room, I think about my life-our lives, Bart’’s and mine. Touring from town to town-no health insurance, no steady jobs, no children, no insurance of any kind against the dark forces in the world. Hanging Off the Edge is an extraordinary journey into the mind and life of one of America’’s most creative women, Priscilla McLean. McLean shares her precarious cliff-edge existence as a classical avant-garde troubadour and the day-by-day tour of the world through Europe, Asia, and Australia. She also writes of her touching story, from growing up in a middle-class family fallen on hard times during World War II to her seemingly settled life as a college professor’’s wife. McLean’’s quotes from her extensive journals, kept over a twenty-five-year span of time, give an immediacy and poignancy to Hanging Off the Edge. Mingled with these memories are original short poems, philosophical thoughts on the artist’’s life, and a whole section where McLean explores how, over the span of thirty-five years, thirteen special musical creations were born and placed before the world. |

Hazard $0.01 When a block of coal the size of a stove shoots out of the wall, miner Amos Blevins barely has time to react before the entire area is flooded with water. He frantically tries to rescue his crewmates, but in an underground space that is pitch black and too cramped to even stand up, he can barely crawl to safety himself. Inspector Will Murphy is sent to investigate, ordered by his superiors to clear things up quickly so the mine can reopen. After all, if the mine closes, then miners lose their jobs, and so do mine inspectors.It seems to be a straight forward accident, but Will senses something suspicious about this case—or maybe he’s just lashing out at his older brother, who has usurped his place as heir to the largest mining company in Eastern Kentucky and owner of the flooded mine—but Will has decided he won’t let this one go, whatever it might cost him.Before he can get far, Will’s witnesses start turning up dead. And Amos, who refuses to follow his boss’s orders to lie to Will about conditions in the mine, finds the little he has threatened. Together, these two men will learn that in the mines, life, family, money, and power all come from one thing—coal.Drawing on his four years of reporting on the coal mines of Kentucky, Harris has painted a vivid portrait of rural Appalachia, beautifully capturing the place and culture of the mining community while weaving a complex and taut story of murder and corruption. |

How To Know Without A Shadow Of Doubt What God Has Called And Destined You To Do $12.21 Why did I write this book?The answer to this question is very simple and plain. I received instructions from my Lord Jesus Christ during the first quarter of 2009 to write this book. After I received my call from the Lord Jesus Christ to go and make disciples of all nations, he began using me to hold bible studies in the market place, on different jobs where I worked, on the streets, over the radio in several states, and across different pulpits, not only where I pastored but in other churches as well-this started from blue collar workers to top notch executives.For several years I had the opportunity of visiting with different Christians from all walks of life and the Lord gave me two questions to ask them:1.Are you a born again believer? Their answer would be Oh yes for several years now.2.Do you have any idea of what God has called and destined you to do? Only 2 out of 10 would say I believe so.During several years of research I’ve found out that 80 percent of the body of Christ has no idea of what they are called to do in this earth. I had no idea of why God had me researching these questions for so many years, but now I can clearly see that he had this book in mind. What an awesome God we serve!While working in the Merger and Acquisition business in January of 2009 in Dallas, Texas, I was visiting with a firm’s director who is a very sharp Christian brother whom I’ve admired a lot because of his knowledge of the business world. I asked him the second research question; Do you know what God has called and destined you to do? His answer was no, and then I asked a colleague of mine the same question, his answer was also no. So while driving home that afternoon from the firm, just as you turn on a light in a dark room to see what’s in the room, light came on in my spirit, and there was a voice with that light saying, write a book on How to Know Without A Shadow of Doubt |

Joseph P. Kennedy Presents His Hollywood Years $34.95 This is the extraordinary story, told for the first time, of Joseph P. Kennedy’s remarkable reign in Hollywood, in which he ran three movie studios simultaneously, led the revolution in sound pictures—and made the fortune that became the foundation of his empire.Kennedy saw filmmaking as “a gold mine” when movies were an idea one week, in front of the camera the next, and in theaters within the month.It was 1919; Kennedy was thirty-one years old.Between 1926 and 1930, Kennedy used his talents to position himself as a Hollywood leader. He ran Film Booking Offices (FBO), was brought in to run Pathé and the Keith-Albee-Orpheum theaters, and became the chairman of their boards. Within months, he was asked to head First National film company. By 1928, Kennedy—merciless, electrifying, a visionary—was running three studios at once.In Joseph P. Kennedy Presents, Cari Beauchamp writes about the genius behind Kennedy’s profiteering and his importance in changing the way Hollywood conducted business. As one of the first nonfamily members to be given access to Kennedy’s personal papers, Beauchamp, through years of meticulous research and countless interviews with those close to Kennedy, has dug through the maze of deals and the files of memos and notes, only recently made available, to tell in full how he made it all happen: how he charmed, cajoled, and bullied; how he juggles various backers—and managed to line his pockets with millions.Beauchamp writes about the movies Kennedy produced and the stars he made, about the studios he razed and those he reorganized, about the jobs that were lost andthe careers that were ruined (among them, that of silent film cowboy star Fred Thomson—one of America’s top box-office draws).Beauchamp tells for the first time the full story of Kennedy’s affair with the feisty Gloria Swanson, the “reigning Queen of |

Poetic Justice $9.99 Everybody’s got that one dream! You know…”C’mon lotto”… or “If I ever get rich and famous” kinda dream.Here’s mine…I’ve always wanted to own this big ol’ Victorian house, with the wrap around porch and the rotunda! Inside would be practice rooms, a recording studio, and a great room that would have built in bookshelves filled with books on poets, and musicians, and music. In another large room would be a stage for poetry readings and acoustic nights and such.A non-profit creative arts school! FREELANCE & FREEDOM PERFORMING ARTS!The cost would be on a sliding scale for most and free to those who don’t have the means to pursue their creative art in music. It would be an environment that would provide music lessons and/or explore creativity and dreams in music.I’ve wanted to do this ever since I saw the movie Billy Jack! The character Jean ran a school where creativity was key to finding yourself and also a place providing a human service. That was when I first put creative arts providing a human service together!I have worked in human service related jobs for over twenty years. I have been writing since childhood and loved music since birth. So in addition to “C’mon lotto”…”If I ever get rich and famous”…have you ever heard anyone say…”Someday I’m gonna write a book!”Working a job where I could use my creativity was always my first choice, but, like so many other people I was pushed to get a “real job”. So I pondered…and I thought…what if I write a book?It would give me personal satisfaction and pride…’real riches don’t have dollar signs’…and if it did make a few bucks, I could donate ‘money’ to a human service cause!Creative art providing a human service!Livin’ the dream…Now isn’t that just poetic justice? |
