After being told that I was a great candidate by both TVA plants around Chattanooga for a SRO certain, they said to be on the lookout for a possible offer in 1 to 6 months. The moral of the story is TVA is terrible on hiring (I applied for the jobs 3-4 months prior). They do have some good people it just seems like their HR department is a black hole. Next, for all of you analytical sailors getting out, be excited on the phone interviews. Just fake it if you have to. I lost out on an interview for a job I would have been great at simply do to the fact that they thought I was not "excited" about it.
I am going to except a job offer as an instructor for ISO New England. For all you guys getting out, don't overlook jobs outside of nuke power, this one pays the same as a SRO instructor. Thank you everyone who looked at my resume and gave me pointers. Even though I did not manage a nuclear job, I might come back to it after awhile.
Thanks,
