POSS B, POSS C test

(1/2) > >>

ddickey:
If anyone is interested I just received confirmation from the EEI that the POSS C (assuming you passed) will qualify you as passed for the POSS B test. However, the reverse is not true.
I applied for a job with a utility that used the POSS B. They said I'd need to retest but I protested saying I had passed the POSS test already. It was them in fact that informed me I had taken the POSS C and they required the POSS B. I dug into this issue and the EEI confirmed what my belief was.
So if this happen to anyone else now you know.

Fermi2:
Most utilities will not accept a POSS result from another utility.

So far I have not found this to be the case. I've not had an enormous amount of interviews but the positions that did require the POSS I've qualified for. In other words, My POSS C result has sufficed for every utility that has asked me for my results.

Fermi2:
Put it this way MANY won't. Are you in the industry qualified anything yet?

Sorry to necro bump this, but I feel this is misinformation, and may potentially mislead persons in the wrong way.


The following companies have accepted my POSS C score transfer from Entergy over the past couple years :

DTE Energy
Exelon
NextEra Energy
Florida Power And Light
Duke Energy
American Electric Power
Pacific Gas and Electric
Xcel Energy
NRG energy


I do appreciate this is a fairly incomplete list, compared to ALL the energy companies that exist; but I've applied to many places, and I've only had ONE company refuse a test score transfer (Consumers Energy). My list does include the lions share of nuclear plants in this country though. Some companies were easier than others (Florida Power and Light was a pleasure... Exelon was not...) and you may need to be a squeaky wheel to get the scores transferred in time, but its possible. Moral of the story is ASK THEM.
