Ask HR person to. thats what I ended up doing :)

FWIW my timeline..

applied october to about 15 different utilities for different types of jobs.

looked around for a while. Heard NOTHING FROM ANY ONE for months.

then in early december, I got calls from 5 different plants to take MASS, TECH, and POSS tests. Passed all of them, got interview requests from several different companies.

interviewed at my current plant, offered a job 2 HOURS after (not common of course), and started 2 weeks later.

When it rains it pours. Just keep applying to places, and keep your head up :)

Well that certainly makes me feel a lot better. My current utility list is as follows:

Xcel (Coal)
Dominion
Exelon
SRP (Coal)
APS
AEP
Duke
Progress
PSEG (Coal)
PPL
TVA

I have also just applied for several auxiliary operations positions. I honestly would not mind either operations or engineering.

In the immortal words of the Joker: Gentlemen! Let's broaden our minds.

Well actually that is one of the reasons I expanded to applying for operations jobs. I personally do not want to be stuck in an office for the rest of my life. I actually want a job that allows me to not just use my brain but use my hands.

Oh, yes, I did apply for the EFH position at Comanche Peak (Nuclear Equipment Operator, which I guess is a fancy name for a NLO). I believe from the job description they are POSS testing and interviewing February/March. I also have applied for a AO position at the Harris Nuclear Plant in NC.

Thanks again for the suggestions!
