Hello,
     I have been a lurker on the forum for about six months now and decided it was time to post.  I know that some of my questions have been addressed but I wanted to consolidate them and maybe make some contacts.  So, after that disclaimer, here it goes:  I qualified EWS/EDPO and was LPO on the boat, and am now qualified MTS as well.  I have no degree and will not be able to get one before I get out.  I am interested in obtaining a NLO position at Crystal River in FL.  I have read that I may qualify for a DSRO position at some plants as well.  I also would not be against being a maintenance tech.  I have also read to not narrow my search to one plant, so I am planning on applying to everything in the Southeast Region. 

Questions:

1.  NLO vs. DSRO?  I have seen some of the discussions, but if offered a DSRO position, would I be stupid to not take it?

2.  Should I contact HR departments and submit my resume to companies that are not actively advertising jobs on their sites? (i.e. Progress Energy for Crystal River)

3.  How can I find out class convenings for DSRO or NLO so I can see who will be hiring at the time I am separating?

4.  How soon is too soon to start applying?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tim

I will do my best to answer the questions that I can based upon my recent job search.
1.  If offered two jobs, take the one you think you would like best.  There are advantages/disadvantages to both, so weigh the factors (location, benefits, pay, etc.) and pick one.  Otherwise, take whatever is offered.
2.  You can try contacting HR departments, but I had no luck with that.  I had limited success contacting company recruiters through nukeworker ( http://www.nukeworker.com/job/list_companies.php - at least those e-mails got answered, the e-mails and phone calls to HR got no results)
3. See two above, or e-mail someone from nukeworker that works at those sites, try LinkedIn, or if you know anyone that works at any of those sites, call or e-mail them.
4. Last year

Hope this helped!!
have a day

Thanks for all of your help.  I did see those postings on their web site.  However, they said the openings were for the new plants at Levy County, which I believe is on hold right now.  I will sign to have their job openings emailed to me.  Thanks again.
