I have been a welder for the last 12 years, I have always worked as a welder right out of high school, but the beginning years I did jump around a few jobs. Three months here, three there, 6 months there and so on. After about 2-3 years it leveled out and became more consistent. When My 6 year is up and I am eligible for my SCWI I would like to go for it. I have worked very heavily in the NDT and NDE since and as a consultant, and have 2 years so far at least writing PQR's and WPS' on a regular near weekly basis. I have level 2 across the board as well except for UT, and Eddy current.
So now the question, By the time I get trough the next 3 years, Ill have my 15 years of experience needed to apply for the license. I will have had my CWI for 6 years and be 33 years old. Now how to I go about proving all those jobs I had in the beginning? Do I need to start tracking back past employers for information? It was the "college years" for me so some things are a bit hazy, but since I got started I have consistency up till the first three years or so. Any advice?
