Anytime is good to apply. End of winter can be good as a lot of guys fuck off to wherever the shit they came from.
When you are in touch with a coordinator, ask them to put you on a rig that doesn't have lease hands. Find one where roughneck is the bottom feeder. Best way to learn, and being a lease hand would suck.
I did it for seven years. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't. I'd do it for maybe 3-6 months for the experience and find work in the oil sands. Better steady money and safer. My best year working rigs was just under $150,000 and I worked my bag off. Now I get that easily without breaking a sweat.
I can't think of much to avoid on a resume. But, if the first question on an application or interview is "are you a pussy?" Answer no.

So actually working for the sands and living in fort mac is better?
for it me it doesn't make a difference. Rigging got me more interested because I'm into camp work.
My goal is to go for 2 years and save a ton a money, and go fromt here. Also I was hoping to work for one of the bigger companies and get transfered overseas.
