You know people from Tennessee can't count past 10.

I have posted my resume and been watching/looking for openings on the TVA web site(and Nukeworker), job searcher for positions open at either Watts bar or Sequoyah but I am seeing nothing. I am seeking employment with one of these plants or any nuclear related job in Eastern Tennessee. I was hoping that there might be another way to get in contact with whoever does the Hiring for these plants. I just thought it would be a little bit easier to get a Nuc related job after doing your time in the Nuc navy, if anyone has any more information or advice that isnt already posted, it would be much appreciated.

I am btw talking to three different head hunting agencies, but there telling me that there isnt much in Tennessee right now..

No you can't get an "in". You haven't operated a real reactor yet, you have the equivalent experience of a janitor as all you've operated is a startup source. Right now nearly every classroom at most TVA facilities are packed with trainees. Keep checking the website. Your lack of real experience doesn't set you apart enough to bypass applying on the website. The way we hire in personnel is gleening resumes submitted to www.tva.gov.

Jeff,

They only hire through their website, so just keep an eye out and jump if you see something you like.  Sometimes the jobs on there don't stay open very long, so check often.  TVA doesn't work with headhunters.  They don't need to.

Be patient and something will show up...  Then be patient some more!  If you search around, Broadzilla posted a good summary a while back (2006) of how the hiring process goes.  There's nothing quick about the government!!

Good luck!

Jeff,

You don't go into your background, so its hard to tell. If you are an ex ELT, there is nuclear work to be had in Oak Ridge right now. Not quite Tennessee, but Bartlett call me just this weekend to ask me if I was interested in work in Padukah,Ky. There is also NSF and Studsvic in the Elizabethton area. I hope that this gives you a few more ideas.
