Can ANYBODY PLEASE help!! Desperately trying to help freind get a job in Iraq

[Expat]

I know this sounds insane but a freind of mine is trying to find employment in Iraq/Kuwait/Afghanistan. She is in food service and desires a DFAC job. I have returned from 13 months over there at Anaconda. I have input her resume in the KBRjobs database and it has sat there now for nearly a year. I am hoping someone on this forum may be able to assist her. I have briefed her extensively on the dangers she faces, and she plans a 2-3 year tour. She is a hard worker and is accustomed to 18 hour days 6 days a week. Please if there is anyone here that can help send me a pm.

THANX!!!

damn how do u get accustomed to 18 hour 6 day workdays, ugh...
i can barely pull off 8hour 6 day workdays on a reg basis.
12 hour 6 days for extended time i'd be in bodybag.

Thanks, Actually I did post her resume twice.
But it is not like it was when I got on in 2004. They were hurting for people and if you had a recruiter's #, you could call them directly and they would actually answer the phone. I was offered a job less than 48 hours after my initial contact.
Now EVERYBBODY knows about KBR and their online database is overloaded.

This is pretty much my last pitch for her and hoping someone/recruiter will see this and give her a break.

She has a resturant in the not so good part of town which really was not a problem until Sept 11 happened.In my town you either got rich from that or you lost your pants. She is in a dire situation, and I am trying to help her. She is a wonderful person.

You would be surprised at what you can do, I did 12hour><7days a week
(84 hour week).

You learn that in order to keep this schedule you must have structure, and you must take care of yourself. You aren't out partying a lot (no alcohol permitted) What a lot of people don't keep in mind is that you have to commit (to yourself) to one full calender year (and no more than 35 days stateside)in order to gain taxfree status on the first $80,000.
You are allowed R&R every 120 days, and you can also take LWOP. (you lose a TON of money on LWOP)

I actually thrived there, the only reason I returned><I missed my dog. I would go back in a heartbeat.
