Thanks for the prompt reply.

I have read that some places hire in cycles, is that how it works at CGS and if so do you know when it is coming around again? Thanks for the help.

they just had interviews for RP, supposedly have more people retiring soon so might hire more, but they are slow to fully man RP and like to stay lean.  Guessing....2 years?  Wild guess.

I put in for a position, hope to get a call! I would love to go back home and not have to work at Hanford .

Apologize but not understanding your statement, the bolded stuff specifically.  What is RP and what is meant by saying two years?
Thanks and sorry for my ignorance.

Yeah on that I'm a little worried since I've heard the further away you are the less likely you are to get a call.  I'm in Georgia, soooo...
I also have no connections whatsoever.

RP stands for Radiation Protection and I believe what he means by two years is how long it will take them to fully staff the RP group.

I have a home in the Tri Cities so I hope that wont be a problem for me.

I see.  Thank you for clearing that up.  I'm looking for an EO position there.  Been lurking for weeks trying to find info on CGS's near future hiring, etc.  Also looking to see if I'm wasting my time by applying when I currently reside in GA.  I don't see why that should matter especially since I'm able to pay my way over there and am from the region.

We have one guy who might retire sometime in the future.....however, as of right now there are no plans on replacing the next RP who leaves due to station wide workforce reductions (unless.....its Security or Engineering  ). We will be going from 27 Techs to 25 and we currently have 26.

We completed our first breaker to breaker run..... 683 continuous days 

Now on to R22 and 42 days of glorious fun
