Bryan's Job

I am so incredibly grateful for Bryan's job with Chevron!! It definitely wasn't a career we ever thought he'd go in to but it's been such a blessing in our lives and we know it's the career that he's meant to have.

So, for Bryan's job you're first required to go through a 6 month training program to become a field specialist (basically he monitors pump-jacks all day). After the 6 months is up you get evaluated and if everything looks good they promote you to a level B field specialist. This comes with a raise and at this time you can bid/apply for a level A field specialist position which also comes with a raise : ) Are you following all this? It kind of confused me at first.  It's basically all the same job just with different pay and once you're a B you get your own truck. Anyways, here comes the cool part. Because Bryan is so awesome, his boss approached him and said that he wanted to evaluate and promote him to B an entire month early! His boss also told him that an A position was opening up at his office and he wanted Bryan to apply for it!! This stuff does not normally happen. You're not even supposed to be allowed to apply for an A position as a trainee but Bryan's boss said he'd approve it.

This is a wonderful blessing on so many levels. Originally we thought that we'd be in Big Spring for 6 months and then it would just be a surprise where we'd be after his training. Normally, there can be up to a year of waiting and not knowing where you'll get a job at the end of training.  So for Bryan to have gotten the A position even before his 6 months was up is HUGE!!! I'm so incredibly proud of him and all his hard work. He has worked so hard to provide for us and it's nice to see him being rewarded for it. Plus, we were able to renew our lease before it was up!

So, now we'll probably be in Big Spring for a year or two and then Bryan will try and move up in the company. I don't think he'll have any problem advancing!
