I've received 14 emails from around the country in the last 4 days asking if I'm interested in interviewing for various jobs. A couple of them look decent. Industry is really opening up right now I guess!
Having options is a good thing. 8)

Could you be a little more specific on what types of jobs?. Also, you might want to pay attention to capitalization on Forum topics. Right now I wouldn't let you change the marquee sign at Arby's..... :P

The amount of awesome in this post is more than my laptop could handle. For some reason, I have weird lights blinking everywhere in my house and all my clocks are stuck at 42.

I think there may have been a Subliminal message attached..... ::)
The Competition is Getting Tuff!
Check this out, the NEW and IMPROVED Qualification Criteria..."DESIRABLE"..... ;)
Other Desirable Qualifications: (Complete if there is no name (s) specified) Professional certification (e.g., Certified Safety Professional), while not required, is highly desirable.
BA/BS degree in Safety, Health or related field is desired but not required.
Candidates must possess good communication (verbal and written) skills.
Previous experience at Hanford is desirable
Based on that criteria, the guy updating the marquee at Arby's, outside the gate has a pretty good shot!
It will only get better.....RG! ;)
LOL GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Well, I don't get out for awhile (EM2) I want to be an NLO-RO-SRO or at least that is the plan, BZ says there are lots of jobs out there however, when I go on monster I cant find any postings for NLO positions. I wanna work at DIABLO CANYON when I get out and they are ran by PG&E. Any one have any advice on finding the job, or any knowledge of Diablo Canyon?

It is a good idea to show up independently wealthy as a new hire, so that one can afford a $180K used double wide such as http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/91-Via-San-Carlos_Paso-Robles_CA_93446_1114343087 (http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/91-Via-San-Carlos_Paso-Robles_CA_93446_1114343087) which is 3x your starting pay.
Yes, it is a nice plant. How about reposting your question in the correct Region IV thread so we can get the thread back on topic :)
Mike,
You going for Plant Manager or Site VP?
LM
Next stop. Classroom instructor, full time. I don't really want to do anything except teach.
I would be a great plant manager though.
Mikey
The proofs in the pudding on that Big Mike, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall with you teaching.

We'd make a mint selling audio books of "Welcome Back, Broadzilla" or his first day of SRO class intro speech...
Based on my own plant the retirement scare is setting in, most of the NLOs' in my ops group are over 30 with a third over 50, two Ops (1NLO and 1RO) union members have already stepped out with a few more in the works. Over the next five to ten years over half of the existing staffs will be eligible or gone US wide. Management put no stock in it until the exodus began and others began looking at their plans.

Well between the 4 letter words something might actually get taught!
Dave, when my wife saw what you posted she said HEY he knows you!
Okay, I'll bite. Why Mike, would you post that "The Industry MUst Be Getting Desperate" and then go on to say how many job offers you've had. Shouldn't it be "The Industry MUst finally Be Waking Up And Recognizing My True Worth?" :P Desperate would imply you're the last resort - not the first. I got nothing but love and respect for ya but that was just too easy.
Broadzilla on the Job!!!

LMAO Xenon and nukeman. Rock on my friends!
I heard one plant hired an over-the-hill I&C tech from a Goodyear tire factory and another plant interviewed a mechanic from Briggs & Stratton. They must be desperate!!

As long as they don't hire techs from an airline (shudder), they should be safe.

Interesting you should say that, remember the air traffic controllers strike? Guess where some of them ended up when Reagan fired them.

Oh yeah, I've met some of those guys.... :)
The ones I've met didn't turn out too bad.
They aren't airline techs. They were Air Traffic Controllers, quite a different animal.
I know at my old plant we'd get all sorts of OE from the airline industry and YES they're SCARY!

Then those would be Engineers not Technicians...right? ;)

Mike, if you thought the OE from the airline industry was scary, you would be frightened silly by the people we hired from an unnamed major airline that has Detroit and Minneapolis as hubs, and was just bought by another major airline that uses a Greek letter for its name.
Luckily, we were able to send one of them to the nuclear waste dumping ground that fossil generation has become, but the other one is still hanging on, still acting as a precursor to a major incident.
