[blurjaysfan21]

has anyone had an interview with opg nuclear in the past 6 months, if so has anyone heard back ? It's been almost 2 months and I havnt heard anything other then the security clearance. But there has been no job offer and they havnt called my work references. Anyone else hear back ??

[Marcus67]

I had an interview and it went really good! haven't heard anything back though either.

.      did they complete your security clearance already? mine didn't go that great but still it's been awhile and would like to know ither way. When was your interview ?

[Marcus67]

Beginning of March, and no haven't heard about security yet. Yeh I just want to know for sure! I would like to start my life .

[blurjaysfan21]

Well Marcus your not alone . I had my interview march 5th . I emailed he ladie last week to see if they made any decisions and she hasn't got back to me do who friggin knows man

[Marcus67]

Yeah well something to hear would be welcome, either to move on or start working, preferably working . You apply for the rad tech posting they just took down? I've just got a confirmation from applying so far, I dont expect to hear anything for a while as the posting just closed a few days ago.

[blurjaysfan21]

No I didnt as it wasnt a permanent

[blurjaysfan21]

so they have sent out offers already for the first start date, also they have cut the number of people there hiring probably due to internals

[Marcus67]

Damn, well I was under the understanding that the start date for Darlington is in Sept. Does that mean its still hopeful that some time in the summer calls might go out for that start date? Did you get the job or did someone fill you in from the inside that calls went out? I write for the rad tech position on monday too so not all hope is lost for getting in. I hope they keep a short list of candidates for later on in the year to hire off of as they need operators!

[blurjaysfan21]

I havnt recieved an offer, but we will know hopfully in the next couple of weeks on the sept start date. Did you check to see if your security clearance went through ? You can always contact HR and see where you stand.

[Marcus67]

Not sure about my security clearance. Where would I find that out where I stand on that?

You wrote the testing for the Rad Tech position already? My heart is broken Lol. I applied on the very first day the posting came out for the Rad Tech position. I have been remaining hopeful, as the guys I know that already work there tell me it takes months to hear back after submitting an application. I'm pretty sad to see they have already called and done testing.

[blurjaysfan21]

Marcus did u recieve my MSG about cOntacting hr? Its nearing the end of the month so we should be hearing back shortly so I'll keep you posted. Also just found out a few guys the work at the same company as me also had interviews and have not heard back for the sep start date . Is it for darlington? I read somthing the other day about pickering being one of the world worst nuclear plant in the world and darlington one of the best, also talked about cutting numbers and that there wages are to high

[Marcus67]

Hey oh ya i got your message sorry im on vacation right now. Oh that's good if I hear anything i'll let you know as well so we're not just sitting here waiting. I think this one is for Darlington yes. I know Pickering is an older plant than the Darlington plant and is being decomissioned by 2020 I believe. I haven't toured through either one though to tell you if its not as good as the other though. The wages and cutting is what I've heard as well.

[stew]

I was contacted yesterday and invited to do testing on May 31st. I have already completed the operator testing and was told I passed but didn't get an interview. Is it the same test? Should I tell them I already did the test?

[Marcus67]

Hmm I'm not sure! I did the operator testing and did great on the interview, im not sure what this testing your going to is? did you apply for the rad tech position as well? Let me know how it goes and what you find out the testing is for. Good luck to you!

[stew]

When I replied to say I wanted to complete the test I told them I also tested for operator. I was told I only have to do 2 of the tests as the other 2 overlap with the operator testing. And passed the 2 operator tests.

I've just completed my 1st year of power engineering and plan on going to the 2nd year. But I still want to do the testing and hopefully get an interview. I didn't get an interview for operator the 1st time and now I can't re-do the operator test for 3 years.

I wonder if I'm better off accepting an offer for rad tech vs finish college and hope I get an interview for operator?

[Marcus67]

Oh ok I see what you wrote for. Yeah I too only had to write 1 test as 3 of them overlapped. I was told at the testing that the rad tech position was for 2013 and for 10 weeks of training then call you back for a 4-12 week outage. I'm not sure what kind of credit being a rad tech is so i really dont want to recommend that you take something over the other. I always feel the education will always help you though but thats me. Anyways let me know if you get emailed for an interview because I think they're interviewing early/mid june.

[blurjaysfan21]

Still havnt heard anything ?

[Marcus67]

Heard nothing.

[stew]

I haven't heard either.

I had to do only 1 math test. It was 10 minutes and I was out of there. I know I did well but there is no way any one answers all those questions. Even with a calculator I'd be surprised if most people would have enough time to get them done. 10 minutes, 36 questions (I think?). I think I did 26.

[Marcus67]

yeah Thats the same test I had to do, i was only asked to do one of them. Did you get the call for the interview for the rad tech though? I think I did around 23 of them.

[stew]

  I just an email for an interview!

[Marcus67]

Awesome Congrats! is that for the rad tech, i just had mine yesterday. Good luck! when is it?

[stew]

Yes for rad tech, July 4th.

How did the interview go? Did they give you any more information on when training would start etc?
