Well, here you go Honeycomb. It's your opportunity to jump all over somebody else now! Seems like those long layovers gotcha bit cranky, eh? Or maybe the carrier you work for is going bankrupt and trying to steal your pension? My father just retired (March) from Northwest after suffering through the Eastern strike, so whatever it is, I feel your pain.
Anyway, I was under the impression this was the correct place to post this: I have a BA in Psychology, an MA in Experimental Psychology, and I've been working my entire career in Finance. (Psychology was always of interest, Finance always paid the bills). My girlfriend works at SBC (formerly PacBell currently AT&T), and was checking the PG&E website for openings because her job is about to be phased out. They had an opening for a Nuclear Plant Operator, which had no preq's, but only 'preferred qualifications'. She applied online, had to answer some questions over the phone, and then told me that I should apply for what is a far better paying job in a far better location.
I currently live in Fresno, CA and earn $42k as a staff accountant, and the job is at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo and pays around $55k. So it's an upgrade in earnings but a tremendous upgrade in location.
To make a long story short, after I applied online and answered some questions, they immediately scheduled me for testing. I have a test scheduled a week from Saturday. They told me to wear 'comfortable clothes' (I imagine I'll have to demonstrate I can lift and move 50 pounds), and also told me to check out the POSS testing guide.
Well, their POSS testing guide doesn't exist. It's a link to the Edison Electric website that also doesn't have a guide but provides an online test. That's how I found Nukeworker.com. My question is this:
Which of the study guides you have on here do I need to become familiar with in order to pass the POSS test? Is it comprised of all the CORE guides? Is it the CORE guides plus the NGET guide? Is it just the NGET? Is it the CORE, the CORE Level 2, and the NGET?
I thank you in advance for your helpful replies.
