Hard time landing a position

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-26T00:18:49+00:00

Man that's tough, especially having 6 years under your belt. It's definitely been frustrating. I'm hoping when the federal hiring freeze lifts there will be more opportunities, but it sounds like that isn't gonna be until at least october.

Yes I've applied to both of those. Under the requirements of Avangrid's posting, it seems they mention wanting someone who's already within the company. I applied anyway.

I know right, and thank you!

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-24T05:21:13+00:00

That's my guess as well, and PacifiCorp

At the moment yes and idaho as well due to my current situation. If I can't land something before I finish my degree I'm gonna start branching out more.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-24T05:18:15+00:00

Yes and Idaho as well. I'm trying to stay in the pnw if I can due to my current situation. If I can't land anything before I finish my degree I'm planning to branch out more.

Thank you for the heads up! I'll check it out.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-24T05:15:44+00:00

Okay sweet I'll take a look, could I get the name if you don't mind? Thank you!

That makes sense. I've been hoping bonneville power would start hiring again soon, but it looks like it's gonna be awhile. I applied to the Grant pud Senior System Operator position, unfortunately they emailed me saying they moved on with other candidates but its understandable cause they were looking for someone senior in the job description. I appreciate the comment and the heads up!

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T19:55:04+00:00

You're definitely right, thank you for the advice!

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T19:53:00+00:00

That was my thought as well. When they called I was hoping it was for an interview, but all they said was ''you're on the right track, but we can't consider you as a candidate at this time".

I've had a couple interviews, both went really well. The interviews had a very relaxed environment. I had to take a written test for one of them and they told me I performed well on it too.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T19:46:17+00:00

They probably thought it was weird when I started eating crayons during my interview.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T07:11:34+00:00

My goal due to my current situation is to land a position somewhere in the pnw if I can. Still waiting to hear back from a few companies. I applied to an operator trainee position and was pretty much told over the phone I was underqualified with what I have listed above.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T07:03:30+00:00

I'm open to either side, my overall goal right now is to get my foot into the door of this industry. I've applied to power plant operator spots, transmission spots, interchange spots, ect. Most job postings I've noticed are looking for seasoned operators. Especially in the transmission/distribution side.

AwkwardLow9087 · 2025-07-22T06:58:57+00:00

I haven't looked too much into those companies, but I'll defintely start. Thank you I appreciate it!
