After what seems like forever of calling nearly everyday I finally got my foot in the door and will be starting at Fermi, Michigan early this March. Thanks @Michael Williams

Spotted this outage schedule on the D&Z website: https://www.dayzimopenshop.com/outage-schedule Talking with their recruiter today & they recommended applying on their website to establish interest in working the fall outages. Still looking into how to go about that on their site.

Today, I received my offer for the Brunswick Plant in South Port, NC. This will be my first outage as a Junior Decon. I plan to work this outage to get my foot in the door, take my tests this summer and doing my 2nd & 3rd outage this fall as a Junior RP. I manage to get my brother in as well so we will be doing outages together to cut cost.

I've tried to make initial contact with the big 3 and only got Christal from DZ on the line. She informed me that all the Jr. Decon positions are filled for the spring outage and the fall schedule hasn't opened yet. But she did say to try Open Shop for DZ which is other trades under their umbrella I believe.

Hello all I just had some questions about which company to go with. Do the three companies- Westinghouse, RSCS, and Atlantic have their own strengths and weaknesses such as flexibility and pay? Or do you just pick one that has an upcoming outage that you're interested in? I saw the Westinghouse outage listings that had more information on its website than the other 2 unless im not looking in the right spot. For pay rates, per diem, UI, etc do you have to ask the recruiter about each outage for comparison or is there a link that has the specifics? Are you able to bounce from one company to the other to maximize work time? Thank you for your time and advice!
