Anyone know how to get your foot in the door at Dow, or another other big chemical company in BR area. Been trying to get a plant job for a while now but I have absolutely no luck.

Having a close relative is always a plus. What are you looking to do?

For ExxonMobil in BR, Google ExxonMobil e-employment. You should be able to navigate through there fairly easily and setup a login ID, upload a résumé, etc. That will get you signed up to take the test. If you were to get on with a contractor and work in Exxon, that would likely help you get your name out and get some references.

What are you trying to do in the plant? Do you have any qualifications or related experience?

Do the PTEC degree at BRCC or RPCC and you'll get hired

Does Dow/XOM plants hire a lot of contractors?
I know for the plants in Chalmette, a lot of the guys get hired on as contractors for a while, then from there eventually get hired on directly.

I got on as an operator with no experience right before I graduated from Ptech school in Reserve. Some of my classmates did as well, through internships. Some of the younger guys with not much job experience at all got on with contractors. Most of those who got hired before graduation knew someone.
I do know people who graduated months ago and are still struggling to get hired.
Most of the new people hired by the company I work for know someone or are related to someone already working there.
