They like to hire experienced because of all the training costs, nothing personal. Is this your "dream job?" With a flood of people, and plants shutting down permanently, there are a lot of trained people looking for work. Have you carefully considered the career of a traveling tech? Pay has been stagnant for years, They tend to under hire the techs they actually need, causing the need to work most of those 12 hour days. If you work for companies like DZ Atlantic, and you get sick you lose per diem for that day and on the day off. I decided not to take a job with them for that reason. This may be a case to be careful what you wish for, your dream may come true with some unanticipated consequences.
