Title: How to get into Byron
Post by: zeusnuce on Jul 21, 2006, 12:54

Hi

I have been following Exelon's job opennings for a while and have not seen one yet for Byron (IL)
for an entry-level nuclear engineer. If my ultimate goal is to become an SRO in Byron, should I approach this issue in a different manner?

(I will have an MS in nuclear engineering by 2007)

Thanks

Have you checked the Exelon Website?

You probably need to work an intern summer (or other quarter). Try contacting the utility directly; HR departments are used to dealing with intern queries.

(Of course, I don't actually know anyone that wants to work at Byron.  ;D )

Yeah. There are openings all over, its just that they all require 5-6 years of experience. There is one entry level openning at Braidwood thats been there for a couple of weeks, if it stays like this I will apply anywhere and then ask for a transfer to Byron in a couple of years. Do you think they will mind if I let them know in the interview that I plan to do something like that?

thanks

hehe..I would just prefer to work there because it is the closest Exelon plant to Rockford...

No, don't let them know you're planning to transfer!!!!!

Even if you don't have the experience level desired for the job apply for it anyway!!!

BZ is right on this one. If the company doesn't get the ideal applicants, they will consider others. Depending on the circumstances, it may be better to hire a local than pay big bucks to relocate...

Good luck!
