Verifying Navy Experience (EWS, EOOW, PPWS)?

(1/3) > >>

How does the industry verify Naval experience? My service record has a discrepancy concerning my EWS qual. The peronnelman put the date of entry into my record not my actual qual date, so I have 11 months vice 18 months. There is no way to fix it since the ship I was on is decommissioned. I'd like to know for interviews if I can state 18 months, or should I stick with 11 since I can prove it.

The only way to verify is by your DD-214.  That being said a utility is more interested in the fact you qualified than how much time you spent qualified.  You can bring that up in the interview process but it will be taken with a grain of salt by the people conducting the interview.

I wouldn't sweat that too much, but just in case, your evals should have it correct?

No one cares whether you were an EWS. Usually they verify a DD 214 to see if you were actually in the Navy, thats about it.

I think his point is that no one actually looks to verify if you lied on your resume. In all of my interviews, no one has and I have only had to submit my DD214 once. It was pretty much "you were EWS?" me "Yes," them "Ok, next question" and that was the end of it.

Again, I wouldn't sweat the "verification" too much. They know.
