Resume Advice
Dstealth:
I was in the Navy for 8 years; while in I worked on the USS Jimmy Carter and left as a MM1(SS). Since the Navy I moved to Lake Havasu City to take care of my mother who fell ill. I am currently working in a PVC extrusion manufacturing plant as a Lead Operator. While here I used my GI bill to go back to school and will be finishing a degree in Technical Management next month with a 4.0 average. When in power school I graduated top half of everything.
I qualified everything I could while on my sub up to ERS. I made first class 3 months prior to leaving my boat and never became EWS qualified. While on the Sub I did everything from gage calibration, maintenance, Quality Assurance, RPPO, pubs, etc...
I now have a strong desire to get back into the nuclear world and for the past 6 months I have had very little luck. I am reaching out to try and start networking. I am not picky about what I do and will work hard. My requirement is Full time work, benefits, and 60k a year(or close to that)
When looking at the job boards the thing that describes the Mechanical position best is the Auxiliary Operator Position. So my question is what other positions should I be looking at? I have applied to Teaching and Planning positions as I see them come up.
I am at the point that I would hire a headhunter to help me move back into the Nuclear Field. Any suggestions on job postings that I would be qualified for that I have overlooked would be appreciated. Any suggestions on how to get back into the Nuke world would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Your resume screams custodian.
Oh and if that in fact is your resume it's poorly written and would get no one's attention.
Dstealth:
That is good to know. I had another resume and this is the format the last headhunter told me to write it in. He said it was perfect; however, obviously I did not get that position so I am open to a new format/way to write the resume.
Writing a resume is something that I have always had difficulties doing.

What does this mean?
"• Took charge of the division’s training program, transforming the command’s vision into a vibrant program. Ensured that the divisional training plan benefited everyone in a 21-man division, regardless of experience level."
Too general. What does vibrant mean. Exactly how did the training transform into performance?
