Maersk Application

[effiestephy]

I'm going to post an application to Maersk (as I don't really believe in online applications), and need a little help regarding my cover letter...

Who do I address the letter to? (I guessed just 'Training Officer'?)

Which address do I send it to? (their Newcastle address is on the online application form...)

Do I call them 'Maersk' or 'A.P. Moller - Maersk'?

[agibbs98]

It is to "Sir/Madam", no idea about the others, sorry!

I addressed mine 'dear sir/madame' Also I addressed them Maersk.

If you send it to the Newcastle office they will get it no problem :thumbs:

[effiestephy]

Sorry, didn't really make it clear, I mean like on the envelope, I can't just send it to 'Maersk', do I send it to 'Training Officer' or 'Recruitment' or what... Oh I didn't realise they had a Glasgow address!

[James205]

Ah, by Glasgow I actually meant Newcastle

Yeah, training officer or Maersk Crewing would be ideal. There is a team of a few people who deal with recruitment there, three HR officers in paticular.

Ahhh, awesome (: think this is more of a back up application anyway, hoping my Jo Tankers or Anglo-Eastern ones are successful.

Cadet Recruitment
Maersk Crewing (Newcastle)
Stockbridge House
N/Castle
etc

You don't wanna know how many applications they are holding for the next intake though

Why don't you believe in online applications? I've been offered 4 interviews for cadetships all from online applications.

They may prefer the online sign-up or application form.

Knowing how some companies like to link everything together it may be used so that you are automatically entered into their system and saves them the time of doing it etc..

Just a note, I'd put madam and not Madame, as a Madame is a French lady who runs a brothel

I'm surprised it hasn't just gone totally net based applications now with how much we used the internet, if we didn't have the net you would feel cut off I think haha

[James205]

Personally I sent in an innitial application by post and email, everything was dealt with online after that.

When I applied in 2009, I sent my applications in the post, and most companies replied to me within the first 2 weeks, then Trinity House either called or emailed. Clyde Marine still sent me letters, no phonecalls or emails. The only online application I've ever heard back from was Shell, saying they had no vacancies :s I just prefer doing it old school and sending a cover letter and CV rather than an online application form.
