When I retired in 1996 i was ready for the change. I left Virginia and moved back to my home town in Kansas with no job or no home, just family. After 2 jobs and a little over 2 1/2 years i landed a job with the Electric Company. I have been employed with them for almost 9 years now and enjoy my work as a control room operator in a power plant. One thing that helped is my experience and training. Walking away from boilers onboard ship and operating the boiler, turbine and generator at a power plant has its good side.  Plus I had been operating chillers up to 1250 tons working in the other 2 jobs.

So put as much experience and training in your resume as you can and you will probably land that job you want soon.
