You could have said no and they would have taken it in the same light.

Employers don't care what you did in the Navy eons ago, they just want to make sure you were smart enough to be on a submarine.

Also depends on the utility and the makeup of the people doing the interviewing.  Some will give a little more consideration for a EWS qualification but bottom line it is all a mark of your trainability.

My former utility looked at them both (NNPS and EWS quals) as trainability. They did not put much weight in someone qualifying EWS, qualifying EWS just gave them more of a "better feeling" that you could become a licensed operator.  hence the trainability.  In a way it is like stock market recommendations... they are always saying past performance while indicative is no guarantee of future performance.

My concern is the ANSI requirements for SRO. They state 2 years EWS or > 3yrs in a commercial plant as a NLO, and/or an Engineering degree. I have 1 year EWS and a Engineering technologies degree. I'm a hybrid of the requirements.

Will the employer verify the requirements? Do they ask for your qual history from your personnel record? Will they accept this? Why or why not?
