Hey Kalel0419,
First off thank you for your service!
Individuals used to get hired based on experience, qualifications, training, and education. You will find out in the astonishing “Nuke World,” getting a job is completely based on politics. The primary concern of an employer should be “how can the applicant make my company better?” Now, the hiring process is based on “how can the applicant shield and protect my job?” Your military experience and education is far above the standard applicant.
Broadzilla made the statement:
“Incorrect, not by a long shot. Your Navy with no experience means zero. I'd prefer a burger king manager with an associates in Math. Pretty much Navy Nuclear power doesn't have the pull it used to. The program is weak. Better candidates are available off the street. IIRC in our last class we hired maybe 1 Navy nuke.
Clearly Broadzilla is an idiot! I guarantee a three year-old with a box of crayons could do her job.
I was a Chemical-Biological specialist in the Army. I was also medically discharged. Speaking from personal experience, I have found that it’s better not to list your military service on your resume, especially if you are given a disability rating. It never fails employers will automatically think it’s psychological. Focus on your degree in Nuclear Science.
Good luck to you brother!
