Yesterday I had an interview with Maersk They Rang me whilst I was travelling home to say they would offer me Sponsorship.
The new Dilemma now is that I have accepted a job with Orient Overseas Container Line (no contract signed yet) and now I need to choose between the two I have till Friday morning to do so.
Advantages to Maersk
Large reputable company
Range of Vessels
Better chance of a Job at the end
Dedicated Training officer.
Maybe a better standard of training
Maybe a better standard of ships
Disadvantages
No Guarantee of a job
Poor wage and sponsorship payments
Dry ships. Lots of Maersk rules
Advantages of Orient Overseas Container Line
Smaller but as reputable
Good Training through SSTG (Friend and Cousin Are lecturers at nautical colleges)
Good sponsorship package.
They are currently taking on 4TH juniors British officers
Disadvantages
One type of vessel
