Career Path > Navy:Getting Out
Where to start?
AlmostCivilian:
I've been actively looking for job opportunities in the nuke power industry since my 1 year point in the Navy. It seems that most of the jobs posted here are only temporary and I can't find another decent site for jobs. I'm interested in working in North Carolina but am open to other ideas. I've been told that to get a job I have to "know somebody." Is this true? Could someone give a little help?

Honeycomb,
I get out August 28. I'm an EM2 and will be qualified EWS probably in the next 2-4 weeks. I'm servin my 6 and gettin out. I want to be an operator. I'm open to other possibilities though. I just found a whole new list of forums just for this topic. LOL. ohh well...
Thanks,
Brent

Jason,

Brent,
Welcome!
Bartlett would be a good idea if you can work as a Junior RadConTech for the Fall outage season. Many people love to work the outages (Spring and Fall) and then draw unemployment during the off-months. It is good money.
If I remember correctly, Bartlett has more employees at the Duke plants in other things, but I don't think they have electrical maintenance.
You need to check the websites for the companies you would like to work (permanent) very often. Weekly is good for most, but TVA has started posting some on Friday and close on Monday (even on holiday weekends!)
Keep up the work on EWS; it will be valuable when the time comes for moving up to licensed positions.

I am now 10 days out and still not alot of opportunities. Man, this job searching isn't near as easy as I hoped it would be... Oh well. I qualified EWS and EDPO, not sure if that is gonna help much. We'll see. If anyone has any other ideas about where an electrician might like to go and do, let me know.
