Job Fair Scheduled
Another oilfield job fair is being organized by Stephen Beasley of Many in Sabine
Parish. The job fair will take place on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00
p.m. Applicants can come any time between those hours, and do not have to be present
the whole time.
The job fair will be at Cypress Bend Golf and Spa Resort on Toledo Bend Lake in Sabine
Parish, Louisiana, near Toledo Town. For more specific directions, please visit the
website: www.cypressbend.com. The resort’s manager, Ron Gwin, has donated the use
of the ballroom in the Cypress Bend Conference Center for this event. On May 13th,
representatives of the oilfield companies will set up tables and displays all around the
perimeter of the large room in order to make it easy for applicants to approach them,
ask questions, provide information, and fill out applications.
The Beasleys are not only raising awareness about the job fair in Sabine Parish, but are
including all of Northwest Louisiana. All applicants are welcome free of charge. To give
incentive for companies to attend, they are not charged a fee either. This time, the
companies have been asked to make sure to bring enough supplies and forms for the
prospective applicants. Last year, there were complaints that companies ran out of
applications and had to direct interested applicants to their websites because more
people attended the job fair than anticipated.
Approximately the same number of companies are expected to attend this year. The
following is a list of companies that have committed or expressed an interest in
participating: Atwood Oceanics, B&S Welding, Bean Companies, Brand Scaffolding, C&D
Production Specialists, Delmar Systems, Diamond Offshore, Ensco International, Ensco
Offshore, Halliburton, Maverick Directional Drilling and related companies, Nabors
Drilling USA, Parker Drilling, Pride International, Tidewater, Transocean, Toledo
Mudlogging, Noble Drilling, ART Catering (offshore), and Fairfield Industries. For
information, questions, or suggestions, please call Steve or Barrett Beasley at 318-256-
