YOU NEED A BETTER PLAN

YOU STILL NEED ONE

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

My husband opened his own commercial painting business in May. He

I’m debt-free except for my home, and I’m about to start Baby Step 3 of

knows he will have about three months in the year where he’s making little

your plan. I will be will back on active duty in the Navy soon, and they provide

to no income. We’ve gotten $1,000 set aside for our Baby Step 1 beginner’s

certain types of relief funds for its members depending on where you’re based

emergency fund, but because of that down period he would like to skip paying

and other factors. With this in mind, how should I approach Baby Step 3?

off all our debt except for the house, which is Baby Step 2, and move to Baby Step 3 and put an emergency fund aside. I can understand his thinking, but I wanted your thoughts on the idea.

- Melody Dear Melody, Baby Step 3 is not a fill-in-the-gap measure for income you already know won’t be there. Baby Step 3 is an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses, and the scenario he’s talking about is not an emergency. He knows it’s coming, so it is not an emergency.

I think he needs to re-work his business model. This guy needs something to do during those three months, so he doesn’t drop off to no income. Also, if you’re going to set some money aside for a down time, that would not be Baby Step 3. It would be a line in the budget where you’re setting some money aside, because you know a problem’s coming.

- Brad Dear Brad, For Baby Step 3, I tell folks to have three to six months of expenses set aside in an emergency fund. You have incredibly stable employment, so you would probably be okay on the three-month side of that equation. And you wouldn’t need quite as much emergency fund money as if you were a straight commission salesman.

However, my guess is you’ll still have emergencies that will be your responsibility to cover. Everyone needs an emergency fund, Brad. But in your situation, you’ll probably be okay with one that’s closer to three months of expenses rather than six months of expenses.

Thank you for your service to our country!

—Dave

If something happens around the same time every year it becomes predicable, and it’s not an emergency. So, it’s not really a matter of the order of the Baby Steps. You budget for this down time, or even smarter, figure out a plan for his time during these months, based on his skill set, that will earn some money!

Dave Ramsey can be heard on KSEV AM700 Weekdays 2:00pm - 4:00 pm

Q: I have been out of graduate school for three years and have been able to secure only four interviews out of the twenty plus job openings I have applied to. My degree is in social work, and I am licensed to practice, but I only have internship experience. I would like to work within a medical setting as a Renal Social Worker, but do not know how to get my foot in the door. I have applied online to several job openings in need of Renal Social Workers, but no opportunity has come my way. I really need some advice!

-Spring, Texas Reader A: It has to be frustrating to have the education and still not be able to land the job. Where did you do your internship? Was it in a renal practice? I’m pretty sure that you would have to have specific knowledge of the challenges associated with kidney failure, transplants, and renal insufficiency to get a position as a Renal Social Worker. It can be a very challenging field, and the patients (and their families) are looking for a lot of help with those challenges.

I have had people tell me that they had to learn on the job, though.

As our population ages, there will be more openings for this type of position, but I think that there is very little turnover in these jobs. I have talked with a

number of people who are in the field, and many of them were originally RN’s. I have also met a few who started in dialysis and changed to the social work side of the equation. One man told me that he had been a nurse practitioner. The professionals with whom I’ve talked have usually been with their companies for awhile – they haven’t done much job hopping.

Probably the best way to find a position doing this work is to contact centers and hospitals rather than waiting until you see a job listing. Ask to speak with someone in that department, and just let them know that you are looking for a job and are not sure where to start. You may need to kiss a lot of frogs to find someone who can mentor you on your job search.

I know this is going to be a challenge, but right now you are averaging fewer than 7 applications a year.

That will have to more than double for you to actually find something.

understand me. It really vexes me, and I’m not sure what to say. I need to get a job as soon as possible because I don’t want to live on government handouts.

What should I do?

-Houston, Texas Reader A: Welcome to Houston! It’s always harder to understand people on the phone than it is when you are face-to-face. Make sure that you apply for jobs that don’t require phone work. It might be best to respond to ads that tell you to email or apply in person. Once you have gotten a response, you can actually talk with the hiring manager or recruiter. Your biggest hurdle will be your lack of experience, but if you keep looking, you will find a job.

If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Have a question for Diana?

Q: I just moved to Houston from the US Virgin Islands.

I am 25 and this will be my first time working outside my home. I have always spoken English, but my accent is different that the average Texas accent.

Careers in

Mining, Oil, & Gas How would you like to make $40,000 or more per year with a high school education? Or make twice that with a college degree? If those earnings sound intriguing, consider exploring a career in mining or in oil and gas extraction.

Overall, the industry pays better than most: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data show that median annual wages of workers in mining, oil, and gas extraction were $48,610 in May 2016, compared with $34,460 25, 2017for workers in all indus46 AUGUST

tries. And the industry had the highest starting salaries of any industry for 2012 bachelor’s degree recipients, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Earnings are high, in part, because of working conditions. For example, jobs might require workers to live in remote areas, be out at sea for weeks at a time, or spend long periods underground.

And mining, oil, and gas workers can face potentially hazardous conditions.

Still, much of the industry now relies on technology that has helped to make the work safer and more efficient. “It’s not a pick-and shovel operation. We have high-tech machines underground,” says Jeff Tutalo, manager of human resources at an underground coal mine in Grafton, West Virginia. “The skills you need to play video games are the types of skills you need to operate our equipment.”

ral gas are used to create electricity.

Current and projected employment levels in the industry vary by location, type of resource extracted, and other factors.

WORKING IN MINING, OIL, AND GAS EXTRACTION

There are many occupations in mining, oil, and gas extraction.

For most occupations, workers typically have a high school diploma or less, plus on-the-job training. Occupations with the highest wages typically require a college degree.

Three occupational areas critical to mining, oil, and gas extraction are geoscientists and engineers, equipment operators, and roustabouts, laborers, and helpers. Typical tasks and wages differ for each.

This article describes occupations in the mining, oil, and gas extraction industry. It does not include occupations related to the processing or distribution of these resources.

GEOSCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS

ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

Geoscientists study the earth to locate natural resources, advise on how to extract these resources, and restore mine and drill sites.

Workers in the mining, oil, and gas extraction industry locate and remove a variety of natural resources—including coal, stone, and natural gas— from the earth. These resources are essential to our economy. They are used in many products around us. For example, oil is processed to make petroleum products, such as plastics, and minerals are used in computers. Stone provides building materials for construction, and coal and natu-

Workers from many geoscience and engineering specialties help to find and remove oil, gas, coal, and minerals.

Engineers design systems and develop procedures for exploring and extracting resources, as well as for reclaiming the land.

Geoscientists and engineers sometimes work VOL. ISSUE 1105 together on 22 teams with other specialists. When

determining which course of action to take, geoscientists and engineers might use modeling software or do simulation studies to assess options.

engineers. Their tasks vary, and they often work on teams with other types of engineers, helping to solve problems related to resource extraction.

A variety of geoscientists work in mining and oil and gas extraction. Engineering occupations involved in this industry include petroleum, mining and geological, and other engineers.

EQUIPMENT OPERATORS

Geoscientists. These workers analyze geologi-

cal information from many sources, including rock or sediment samples and aerial photographs.

They sometimes plan and conduct field studies or surveys to gather this information, but they might also work in a laboratory or on a computer to interpret findings.

And they produce geologic maps, charts, and scientific reports to describe results. Geoscientists specialize in fields such as engineering, mine, petroleum, exploration, and environmental protection geology. For example, a petroleum geologist might test samples collected from drilling to determine whether oil or gas is present.

Petroleum engineers. Petroleum engineers focus on a range of issues associated with oil and gas extraction. Specific job titles and tasks are often based on the different phases of the extraction process. Occupations include reservoir, drilling, completions, and production engineers.

It takes a lot of expensive, high-tech equipment to get resources like oil, gas, coal, andminerals out of the ground. Job tasks for these workers include operating, maintaining, and, sometimes, fixing equipment. They also might oversee processes and direct other workers. Equipment operators typically need on-the-job training, work experience in a related occupation, or both. Industry sources suggestthat these jobs are not usually available forentry-level workers; most people start out as helpers or have experience operating other types of large equipment.

Occupations include drillers, derrick operators, wellhead pumpers, service unit operators, roof bolters, mining machine operators, and other equipment operators.

Drillers. Both mining and oil and gas extraction

rely on drillers to help reach resources deep in the earth. Modern drilling techniques often in-

These engineers also might determine how to reclaim land or to solve problems related to water or air pollution. Mining safety engineers specialize in making sure that a mine, including its workers and practices, complies with all applicable safety rules.

Other engineers. A range of other types of engineers work in the mining, oil, and gas industries. These workers include mechaniVOL. 22industrial, ISSUE 1105 cal, civil, environmental, chemical, and electrical

sponsible for tasks relating to the wellhead. A wellhead, which sits on top of an oil or gas well, helps pressure seal the well and provides other functions.

been drilled and is producing oil or gas, the drilling rig is taken down and a service rig is put up. Service unit operators may transport and set up this rig. They also operate the equipment that services the well. Their goal is to make sure that the well continues to perform as it should. They monitor well operations— by listening to engines or studying gauges or pressure indicators, for example— to identify possible problems.

Completions engineers decide the optimal way to finish building a well so that the oil or gas will flow up from underground. They oversee this well-completions work, which might involve the use of tubing, hydraulic fracturing, or pressure control techniques.

engineers develop plans for where and how to extract coal, metals, and nonmetallic minerals. For example, they might decide what types of workers, equipment, and processes to use. And they monitor construction and operations for safety and efficiency.

These workers also operate pumps that circulate mud or other drilling fluids throughthe well. These fluids help to keep the drill bit cool, flush out the drilled earth, prevent well cave-ins, and equalize the pressure inside the hole. Derrick operators also might create drilling mud by mixing clay, water, and chemicals. And they control the consistency and weight of the fluids being pumped into the well.

Service unit operators. Once a well has

Drilling engineers determine the best way to drill an oil or gas well, taking into account a number of factors, including cost. They also ensure that the drilling process is safe, minimally disruptive to the environment, and efficient.

Mining and geological engineers. In mining,

Derrick operators. A derrick, or drilling rig, is the tower-like structure over a well that holds the drilling machinery and supports the drilling equipment. Usually supervised by the driller, oil and gas derrick operators set up and oversee the operation of the derrick and derrick equipment. For example, they might clean and lubricate the derrick or help to position and align it.

Wellhead pumpers attach pumps and hoses to wellheads and operate the power pumps and other equipment that helps to produce the flow of oil or gas. During pumping, these workers monitor control panels to make sure that the oil or gas is being pumped at the right speed, pressure, and concentration. They also operate engines and pumps to shut off wells and to move oil or gas into storage tanks. And they transport equipment to the well site.

Reservoir engineers estimate how much oil or gas can be recovered from underground deposits, known as reservoirs. They study a reservoir’s characteristics and determine which methods will get the most oil or gas out of the reservoir. And they monitor operations to ensure that the ptimal levels of these resources are being recovered.

Production engineers take over after a well is completed. They typically monitor the well’s oil and gas production. If a well isn’t producing as much as it was expected to, production engineers figure out ways to help increase the amount being extracted.

for blasting.

If they find a problem, service unit operators work to fix it. They might, for example, run pumps that circulate water or other fluidsthrough wells to remove obstructions. Or they might install devices into a wellhead to control the pressure of the well, which helps to keep the oil or gas flowing up and out of the well.

volve drilling down vertically and then drilling horizontally or in other directions for better access to resources.

These workers operate a variety of types of drills.

They select the proper drill and drillbits to use and attach additional drill bits, rods, and pipes as the drill reaches farther in the earth. They also control the drill’s pressure and speed. When drilling, they use gauges to monitor critical information, such as the pressure in a well or how much debris is being pumped out. And they keep records of where they’ve drilled, how deep they’ve gone, and the nature of the layers they’ve penetrated.

Rotary driller operators usually work in the oil and gas industry, drilling wells to find or extract petroleum or natural gas. Other types of earth drillers are also employed in mining. These workers might drill holes to search for resources underground, for example, or to create tunnels in rock

These workers also close and seal wells that are no longer in use. Some operators perform similar services at mines.

Roof bolters. Roof bolters operate machines

that install support bolts in the roof of underground mines. The long, steel bolts help to prevent the mine from collapsing. First, roof bolters support a mine’s roof with safety jacks. Next, they drill holes into the roof and force bolts into the holes, using a self-propelled bolting machine. Finally, they secure and tighten the bolts and test to be sure the bolts have enough tension to hold up the roof.

Mining machine operators. There are several types of mining machine operators. Many of these workers operate continuous miners, selfpropelled machines that extract coal, rock, sand, stone, and other resources from mines. Others operate longwall shears, cutting machines, and other machinery that cuts or channels along minAUGUST 25, 2017 47 ing surfaces.

Continuous mining machine operators determine where and what depth of a hole or channel should be dug. They position the machine and move controls to operate it. They might also control the conveyors onto which the continuous mining machine loads coal or other resources. And they check their equipment for malfunctions.

Training and licensure. Many mining, oil, and gas workers learn on the job from more experienced workers. The training needed for competency varies by occupation.

For example, extraction worker helpers typically need 1 month or less of on-the-job training. Equipment operators usually need more, typically between 1 and 12 months of on-the-job training.

Other equipment operators. There are many

different types of equipment operators in the mining, oil, and gas industry, only some of whom are described in this article. Most of the equipment these workers operate is similar to that found in the construction industry.

To work at a mine or on an oil rig, workers often must complete mandatory safety training. This training is usually provided or paid for by employers after workers are hired.

For example, operating engineers and other construction equipment operators use machines such as bulldozers, graders, scrapers, and front-end loaders to do tasks such as moving or grading earth. Excavating and loading machine and dragline operators use equipment with scoops, shovels or buckets to dig and move dirt and other materials. And heavy and tractor trailer truck drivers operate a variety of trucks, including big dump trucks that carry loads as heavy as 300 tons.

In addition, some workers need special licenses, such as those required to drive heavy trucks or operate equipment. And employers occasionally require, or prefer to hire, engineers who are licensed.

Work experience. Work experience in a related occupation is typically needed for some mining, oil, and gas occupations. Excavating machine operators, for example, often must have worked as construction laborers or construction equipment operators.

ROUSTABOUTS, LABORERS, AND HELPERS

Many people start out in the mining, oil, and gas industry as roustabouts, laborers, or extraction worker helpers. Workers in these occupations usually do different tasks, as needed. The jobs are often physically challenging. As they gain experience, these workers may move up to more complex jobs, which pay more than entry-level ones. A roustabout, for example, might ventually become a rotary driller helper, then advance to derrick operator before becoming a rotary driller.

In many cases, workers start out in the industry as helpers or laborers before they are promoted to more specialized jobs. Sometimes, an oil and gas employer may require workers to have experience at an onshore oil or gas rig before it assigns them duties offshore. And employers often prefer to hire construction or other heavy equipment operators who have experience using similar types of large equipment.

Roustabouts. On oil and gas rigs, roustabouts have a range of duties, including general maintenance and construction work. For example, they might paint, sweep, or mop decks and other rig structures. Or they might move or assemble pipes, equipment, or other materials and machinery. Other roustabout tasks include inspecting, maintaining, and fixing rig equipment.

farther into the ground. Roof bolter helpers might align a roof bolting machine into the correct position so that the machine operator can accurately place support bolts in the roof of a mine.

For example, roustabouts might look for leaks in oil or gas flow lines. If they find a leak or other problems, they then help to fix it.

Other tasks for extraction worker helpers include monitoring equipment, helping to maintain equipment, and notifying workers of problems.

Laborers. Employed in both mining and oil and

GETTING STARTED IN A CAREER

Mining and extraction laborers who do construction-related tasks might, for example, put braces in place to support the sides of a mining excavation. Or they might put up ortake apart oil rig scaffolding. These laborers also dig tunnels and mine shafts and refill excavations.

Some requirements are general for most workers; others are specific to occupations. Mining, oil, and gas workers often must be at least 18 years old, pass a drug test, and be in good physical condition.

gas extraction, laborers are often in one of two categories: construction or material moving.

Other laborers in mining and extraction move materials by hand from one place to another. These hand laborers might load and unload cargo from trucks, ships, or containers. They sometimes sort the cargo. Or they help to carry pipes or equipment.

Extraction worker helpers. Doing diverse asks, extraction worker helpers assist other, more experienced workers at a mine, oil, or gas site. They work closely with a range of extraction workers, including drillers, derrick operators, and continuous mining machine operators. The types of tasks they do depend a lot on the types of extraction workers they help—and on the specific needs of those workers.

For example, rotary driller helpers, sometimes called roughnecks, might help on an oil or gas rig 48 AUGUST 25, 2017 by connecting pipes so that a drill can reach

There are many ways to get started in an occupation in the mining, oil, and gas industry.

Many of these jobs require special skills, training and licensure, or work experience. And for some occupations, higher education is important.

Skills. Employers prefer to hire people who work well on teams and have good decision-making and problem-solving skills. Communication skills, flexibility, and a willingness to learn a variety of tasks are also important. To succeed in the industry, workers also need determination. “You definitely need to be open to asking questions and be persistent and self driven,” says Landry.

Another key for many workers is technological expertise, which may involve performing computer simulations, using joysticks and computers to operate equipment, or handling electronic detectors to identify leaks in oil or gas lines. And workers who operate or move heavy equipment or machinery need physical strength, eye-hand coordination, and good depth perception.

Apprenticeships are available in some occupations. For example, heavy equipment operators, such as those who operate graders or excavators, sometimes complete apprenticeship programs through the International Association of Operating Engineers.

Education and internships. Workers can qual-

ify for many mining, oil, and gas jobs with little formal education. Other positions have specific educational requirements, with internships recommended.

Roustabouts, laborers, rotary drill operators, wellhead pumpers, and service unit operators typically need less than a high school diploma. Some employers, however, might prefer to hire workers in these occupations who have finished their secondary education. Other workers, such as continuous mining machine operators or construction equipment operators, typically need a high school diploma.

Most engineers need a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Although employers hire college graduates from a variety of engineeringdisciplines, mining or petroleum engineering studies are beneficial. Some engineers have a master’s degree or Ph.D. in a related field. A limited number of schools offer bachelor’s, master’s, or higher degrees in petroleum or mining engineering.

Participating in internships during college is also important for engineering students who hope to start a career in mining, oil, and gas, say workers in the industry. “An internship is how you get jobs,” says Landry, “and it gives you a chance to test out the company and see if you enjoy this type of work.”

How to Effectively Prepare for a

Video Interview In a digital era where the world revolves around technology than ever before, more businesses are leveraging videos in their recruiting and hiring process to save time and increase productivity. Whether it’s in the construction, engineering, or environmental industry, video interviews is a winning move for companies and interviewees alike as each are able to determine whether the choice is a good fit efficiently.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Michael_M_DeSafey/1832732

Yet, just because it’s a video interview doesn’t make it less nerve wrecking or easier on your part. Preparation is vital in order to land the job of your dream particularly if this video interview is the gateway. Ensuring you’re ready in advanced positions you to win so you’re confident in your delivery and make an amazing impression with your potential employer.

Here are 5 effective tips on how to prepare for a video interview.

#1 Practice Makes Perfect!

Just as you would for an in-person interview, it’s important to go over likely questions that will be asked so you respond with conviction and belief.

You see, the more you go over your answers, the poised and certain you’ll be during the interview.

You’ll clearly highlight your skills and knowledge in a way that’s concise yet still showcases your expertise for the job. You also won’t fumble over your words nor get too long-winded in your response.

So we can agree that practice makes perfect.

Spend the time going over common interview questions and your answers so you’re adequately prepared. Say them aloud as if you’re speaking directly to the interviewer. Review your resume to fluently share your experiences that relate to the position.

Finally, research the company and their goals. Understand their mission and the capacity in which 25, 2017 52 AUGUST they serve their clients. When doing so, you’ll

identify how you can fit into their vision and communicate this during the video interview.

#2 Check Your Background

The surrounding area behind you can either add to your video interview or become a distraction.

Be mindful of what’s behind you so it doesn’t detract or interfere with your answers. Here are a few guidelines to making sure you’re setting up your background for success: • •

• • •

Refrain from going to a coffee shop where it can get noisy during peak hours Let your household know that you’re doing an interview and it’s imperative that they’re quiet and in another room. Try not to have people walking behind you in the video interview An office setting is perfect or the kitchen. Be sure that it’s nice and neat in the background If you opt for the desk in the bedroom, make it tidy with the bed made, clothes off the floor, etc.

Have adequate lighting by putting a light behind your computer so your face is illuminated. Avoid dark areas that could make it difficult to see your or casts shadows on your face

#3 Have Good Posture and Poise

Great posture emanates confidence and enthusiasm for the subject matter. Practice keeping your spine straight with your shoulders slightly pulled back for an upright posture. This position also helps your breathing which is a key factor in relieving any nervousness experienced during the video interview.

Another tip to bolstering your posture and poise is talking with your hands, however, don’t overdo it. Use them as a tool to help release any nervous energy or show your interest while answering a question.

By Michael M. DeSafey

#4 Perform a Test Run

From Skype to Google Hangouts, GoToWebinar and Zoom, there are several options employers can choose as their video technology for the interview. It’s important to test the software in advance to ensure its working properly.

For example, some applications may need to be downloaded prior to the interview if you don’t already have them installed on your computer.

Avoid waiting until the day of to discover if your device is equipped or not. Know the software that will be used and perform a test run 1-2 days before the interview so you’re ready!

If possible, test it with a friend on the software that you’ll be using. Get their feedback on the lighting, surrounding background and your posture.

#5 Be Yourself!

People are seeking authenticity and transparency in an age where communication is often conveyed through technology. Allow the interviewer to experience your true personality, showing how you’ll be a real asset to the team. Don’t be afraid to exude passion and zeal for the position you’re after.

Be yourself... that’s what they’re looking for!

When talking, be sure to look directly into the camera. This is equivalent to making eye contact in-person which reveals confidence and character.

Preparing for a video interview does not have to be a daunting task. By implementing these tips, you will create an environment for success to boost your interview performance and land you the job you desire in the construction, engineering, or environmental industry.
