JOB OFFER - HELP!
 
Great news, thanks to some drilling websites links that a very helpful person put on here I have the chance of a job in Canada(thanks old prairie dog!)

I have to call the company on Wednesday, they have offerered to pay flight and accomodation for me to go over on a trial but I have a million questions and I don't want to blow the guys mind :confused:

Any advice on whats acceptable as we haven't talked wages yet or anything, I basically emailed my details, covering letter and cv and now I am bricking the phone call!!!!!

Please, any advice would be much appreciated - I don't want to blow it at this stage. AND yes I am still dancing around the living room in excitement :rofl::rofl:

What's acceptable for what ??? Dinner etiquette, serving at a funeral, how to deal with racism in the workplace ?

Could you be more specific and then perhaps you will get a more meaningful reply which may help you out ?

Sorry - I meant all the questions that I want to ask that are buzzing around my head at the moment. What questions should I be asking on the first phone call???

I really don't want to mess up by asking unnecessary questions. If you are offered a work trial and they say they will sort out the flight and accomodation, what does accomodation usually mean?

Just really excited and really nervous

Well, you will need a work permit for starters. Even for the trial period.
