Title: Wanting to get an SRO position at FPL
Post by: EJC on Apr 27, 2010, 06:43
I'm a former submarine officer currently in the interviewing process with TVA for an SRO position but am really interested in FPL (south Florida is appealing).  Anyone have any good connections to get my resume seen besides posting it on their website and waiting?
Thanks

Agreed.

I spent a few outages at Turkey Point, and I'm pretty sure it's the worst place I have ever been... And my nuke resume includes stints at several plants in the middle of nothing but corn in Illinois, one in a Dry County in Arkansas, one in the former Yugoslavia, and one in East Bum South Korea... I'd gladly go back to any of those before TP.

From what I've heard it should be really easy to go to TP because they can't seem to keep any operators for long.  Not sure why, but I would recommend asking around before you throw your name in that hat...

Just my 2 cents though...

St Lucie will be harder to get into.  Turkey Point has a harder time getting and keeping SRO's or anyone for that matter.

Generally a place is what you make it.  I've been to both sites and wouldn't have a problem going back to ether.
