No need to be nervous my friend. It’s a new adventures, but if you hold on to what you’ve learned from the NAVY, you’ll be successful. Best of luck mate !
If you do go FSE, DEFINITELY make sure they got per diem, even if it's "local travel". My last position "local travel" was 2 states plus DC. Spot on man.
Yo! GSE2 here. So perfect that I found you. I got out last week and i have my second interview with GE for this job. My biggest concern is the time away from home. How much time do you think you spend traveling? Awesome video btw
SSDS & CEC . I have those NECs. Did you ever feel as if you were underqualified, regardless of extensive technical background. Im pretty solid technician and u derstand instructions and manuals
I am currently preparing for an interview for a field service engineer position. For the upcoming round of interviews, they want me to give a 15-20 minute powerpoint presentation on why they should hire me. Do you have any advice on things I should include? I am a recent college grad with a BS in physics if that helps.
Super late. For a company to make you do a power point to prove why they should hire you, I would say apply somewhere else and don’t waste your time. No decent employer would do this.
I did field service for coca cola and keurig dr pepper fixing, calibrating installing, repairing soda/fridge units straight out of high school no college degree and no certification my pay grade ranges around 27$/hr - 36$/hr been doing it for 8+ years and I'm thinking about going back to school to get into the biotech side. My question , Is the pay grade better if I'm certified and have atleast an associate degree in the biotech field as an engineer ?
Fuzzie, You have a lot of experience which is great (certainly I don't have as much as you do)! I think this question would really depend on the company you work for. In my opinion, an applicable degree should equate to more pay. Most of the guys, I work with have a military background and a few have field service related experience.
Just curious, I'm assuming you attended the Medical Instructional Facility at Fort Sam Houston for the Biomedical Equipment Technician program - How were you able to pursue this particular job when you specialized in medical equipment? Were companies eager to hire you? And did you have to acquire any additional credentials/training before pursuing an FSE?
I actually got my related work experience from the military ( Navy firecontrolman working on weapon systems and radars). I didn’t have college experience relating to this field. I separated and found my current job during covid and I will say with my experience, I had a decent amount of job offers so I would say they were eager. I also did not get any additional certs, only ones relating to my current job for the company that I work for. Hope this helps!
Got my FSE interview tomorrow thanks for the video.
No doubt Sam ! Good luck !
Thank you for your service soldier 🇺🇲
God bless America !
Thank you for this video! I am a fellow FC (SSDS) in 8 years and i get out soon! Very nervous about civilian life but this video makes me feel better!

This is great info! This a def a perk of the job for some positions. For me there are some per diem things I claim as living expenses
@@untitledlabel Claim everything. Worst they can do is say no.
Thank you for your service. Interesting career choice as a civilian.
Thank you 😊
Just got out may 3rd and interviewing for this, nice video!
Hell yea ! Good luck! With the right company, it’s a good gig
Who the heck is this guy... LOL great content man! Keep pumping them out.
haha! Not stopping now!
I’m a ciws bro and I’m transitioning in about a year and a half. Be looking in to fse heavy, this video was very informative thank you.
Of course man. It’s definitely a good career to consider as a CiWS tech. Best of luck
been a sonar tech in the navy for almost 8 years, just got hired on as FSE for CNC machines.
Thats great! Congrats, hopefully its to your expectation and liking
Appreciate it bro. Just got out last June (MMN1-SS) and heard about this profession last week. I’d love to email you and pick your brain bro.
Of course man ! Always willing to help. Untldlabel@gmail.com
Great video. Very informative
Thank you !
Thank you for sharing your experience
Glad to do so !

I’m also glad Zack, at the moment I travel about once a week for 1-2 days on average.
Thanks man, hope you stick around for more!
Gse2 here as well. Hoping to get on as well.
@@antwon605 there’s plenty of opportunities, just have to find the best one for you
I am a FSE in semiconductor industry
How do you like it ?
SSDS & CEC . I have those NECs. Did you ever feel as if you were underqualified, regardless of extensive technical background. Im pretty solid technician and u derstand instructions and manuals
Nope not at all. Though the two are unrelated, the skills you learn from working on SSDS and CEC can be translated to being a Field Service Engineer.
First to show up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great sharing
Appreciated
Glad I could share
