So I got a job at chouest, I signed on as a OS/cook as I did not have a RFPNW. I figured it was a way in. I completed training today and I ship out tomorrow. I am very happy so far. I would suggest to anyone considering applying at chouest to visit their personal doctor before you come down if you have any issues. For example, if you have High Blood Pressure or previous surgeries the chouest doctor is going to want documentation on this issue. The process can be long and confusing. I have met several applicants who were frustrated.
