Thanks for the help so far. No disrespect meant to anyone here. Let me try to add some more light on the subject and simplify my question.
Never seek a new occupation unless you are willing to do what is necessary to make the change.
Selling your house, all possessions, putting your wife in an apartment, and moving cross country without her for 8 months to a state where you know no one and have no contacts for your new job. Does this qualify me.
You did not explain the kind of problems you are having.
My current occupation has seen a constant loss of personnel for the last 4-5 years. My company alone has lost 400-500 personnel of only 600-700 in the last 4 years. My problem is that the stability that was once available is now gone.
I'll take 3 guesses at your current occupation. 1) Pizza Delivery Driver.
Pizza Delivery Driver, no but I did have a job delivering circus tickets when i was 16.
I'll take 3 guesses at your current occupation. 2) Realestate Agent.
Real estate Agent, no but i did flip a couple houses, made good money, it's easy to coordinate other contractors to come in and do work, anyone can do it but the market is just not there right now.
I'll take 3 guesses at your current occupation. 3) Employee of a solar power, battery technology or other green energy company that has taken a large amount of government stimulus and is going bankrupt.
Employee of a solar power, battery technology or other green energy company that has taken a large amount of government stimulus and is going bankrupt. No thats not it either.
The correct answer was Nascar Chassis fabricator and mechanic, Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 winner.
Your lack of experience in a related field could be hurting your chances of getting an interview.
So being on a submarine working in the engine room was in no way a related field and could be hurting my chances of even getting a phone call. Understanding QA systems is useless.
Also, if your resume says "Started, but never finished Nuclear Power School" and "Started but never finished college", that could be hurting your chances as well, since it gives the appearance that you can't finish anything that is remotely challenging. I would re-word it, or leave it out all together.
I have left this out of my resume I didn't feel it portrayed the correct image.
Couple things from my narrow perspective.
4) I know for sure Entergy hires non nuke MM's as NLO's.
This was the information I was looking for. So it is possible for a conventional MM to get a job in a powerplant as NLO. I would like to hear from anyone who has done this.
Thanks
