Hey guys, I am currently 22 and looking to graduate from school as an I&C Technician in December. So far I really love the industry and am just intrigued by the different opportunities that may come my way. The program I am in is sponsored by the Southern Company and I am really excited about all of that. I have already passed the POSS/MASS and the TECH tests for the positions they may have available for graduating students. We are taking a written evaluation test this upcoming Tuesday and will be taking a hands on evaluation test the following week (I believe, maybe 2 weeks after the written.) I've been studying up for those tests as best as I can because I really want the best shot at this as I can get. I would love to end up in Nuclear one day.
The question I am wanting answered is what should I expect from other employers? The Southern Company has been really good about walking us through everything because they have been "grooming" us for their own purposes if you will. However, I know nothing always goes as planned and I may not get offered a job with them. I am willing to move and am somewhat intimidated by all the other places that do have positions for I&C techs. I am mainly wondering if I can expect more of the same things. Aptitude tests, tests revolving around some of the basic principles, and things of that nature that I have already experienced?
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
