 Attempting to "shadow" a landman in a courthouse that you do not know is an easy way to get blackballed in that county, as some individuals will go to courthouses specifically to try to poach areas from other companies.Other times, individuals may contact a company looking for landmen that is open to training someone with no experience in the field.Compensation or salary varies and is dependent on many factors such as experience, geographic location and the number of qualified landmen available in a given area.
