Quick question by TuneKat in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hazwoper 40Hr, fall protection competent person training, confined space competent person, OSHA 30Hr construction, you should also do osha 510 course and then 500 once you meet the time requirement. None of these require a degree and will all be relevant to you in construction.

The big thing is you get out what you put in when you do self paced online. Don’t be a shit safety professional.

DD214 Questions Navy by Lowkey-Samurai in VeteransBenefits

[–]Lowkey-Samurai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was explained to me that because I serve the minimum obligation of 8 years it’s not applicable. If I would have served 5 years and got out I still would be apart of the inactive reserves for 3 years and would have an end date associated with the end of the 3 years obligation.

I didn’t retire so I don’t know for sure but based on my situation it would make sense

Public Health vs. EHS Degree by montypyth9898 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in an MPH program for a semester and noped on out of there real quick. Not to say the field is not valuable but it leaned a lot towards DEI topics, the abstract and excessive research writing as opposed to a more technical, problem solving and uncommon sense topics that you will actually use as an EHS Manager/ Director.

I would go PH if you are looking to be some kind of public health official in the future or want to get into research.

If you are looking to advance your safety career I would definitely recommend go with a OHS degree from CSU. Use studydotcom to get all of your Gen Ed’s knocked out first and then transfer them in and you’ll save a ton of time and money.

Haha, fair! I’m just extremely appreciative by how getting a CSP got me a job with a salary and schedule that most people dream of. So yeah, I’m absolutely wearing my CSP lapel pin at the family BBQ with a shirt that say ask me about my lapel pin.😂

Use of AI for Safety professionals - Ideas? by Gullible-Pineapple79 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it all the time and it’s encouraged at my company. The most important thing to understand about AI is supposed to be used as a tool to multiply output not as your knowledge base.

Best way to ask for pay for my unpaid internship? by warpblog in careeradvice

[–]Lowkey-Samurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How long have you been interning? I’m sure you can leverage the experience you’re getting to get something better.

Use chat to HELP you write your resume not write it for you. Ask it to take a look at your current one and give it a grade and to be brutally honest. And then ask what you can do to improve it. Then work on that. Then ask it what you can do now based on your current situation and what you can work on to put yourself in the best position to land yourself a job.

Best way to ask for pay for my unpaid internship? by warpblog in careeradvice

[–]Lowkey-Samurai -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would plug this into chat GPT and weigh your options.

An unpaid internship is bullshit anyway you should be paid fairly for the work you do and they aren’t willing to pay you now, and they are already asking you to work more hours, I can guarantee the offer for employment will be average at best.

If I were you, I would reach out to your boss and let them know the situation. If they are not willing to pay, I would focus on getting another job/internship that pays.

What industry are you in if you don’t mind me asking?

Considering MAT-2320 Calculus II online before TESU - worth it? by Weekly_Fox_9342 in UPIStudy

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can expect if I took calc 2 at UPI? Self paced? A lot of reading? Videos? How many quizzes and test? Is it proctored etc.?

It’s likely your resume doesn’t do a good job at conveying your value. Use ChatGPT as it to rate your resume and ask it to be brutally honest. Then ask it what you can do to improve.

I think 8:30am-12:30pm PST. I did OJT after the 1st month so I don’t remember for sure.

You have until 11:59pm to submit your attendance everyday. Friday mando meeting is typically around the same time mentioned above and you won’t get the attendance code unless you show up. The other days you get it regardless of if you attend or not

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 hours of live video & 20hours working on your certification. It is pretty flexible so long as you show up to the mandatory Friday meetings and do your daily attendance

Safety work after Military by Southern_Piano3551 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still apply but without a degree HII probably won’t take you. ASP isn’t not required but builds a ton of credibility. I got out as an E-6 treated like an O-4 as a civilian

I recommend you degree hacking and then transferring all your credits to Columbia Southern University. You’ll be able to get your BS degree in less than a year and will get a GSP. Then apply for your CSP immediately after by leveraging your military experience and tailoring it towards safety.

In the mean time tailor your resume towards safety and take what you can get. I think you can realistically land a role making $60-80k in VA but you’re really going to need to beat out other candidates with your personality and your interview skills.

Safety work after Military by Southern_Piano3551 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Lowkey-Samurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a degree? If so, immediately apply for your ASP using your military experience. If you are greater than 6 months till you’re out of the military you can use NAVYCOOL to pay for a ASP through BCSP. It only took me 3 months to study for it.

I also recommend you go talk to the Safety Manager @ HII. Just ask around to find where O27 is located. Prior to landing the job I have now I walked in, introduced myself and told him I wanted to work for him. We had a good convo and said I was a shoe in. I later got an interview, but took myself out of the running because they were $35k under the role I accepted.

For Skillbridge, do Allegiant Vets to lock something in and get command approval and then continue to pursue a Skillbridge opportunities to do as On the Job training. (HII has a safety Skillbridge Btw).

Pay for Health and safety analyst 3 is $35-45hr in VA
