Hi There
Let me briefly outline my situation for you. I am 23 years old, graduated with a hospitality degree (yes i know smart choice and money well spent). Got employed by Princess in the pursers department where I realised that I loved being on a ship but I bloody well hated working on a reception desk.
So ultimately the outcome of my cognitive process was that the best solution was to secure a deck cadetship and get my CoC altough I realise I may be a bit late for the September 2013 intake.
I have only one slight doubt and it is as follows. I have done quite a bit of research online and on this forum and every now and then the topic of training too many cadets surfaces. I have searched for 3rd Officer positions and I came up with very few results plus the positions I found all require time already served outside a cadetship as a 3OFF.
So what are the actual prospect of completing a cadetship in 3-4 years time with CoC and securing that first 3OFF position if I was to go through a training agency rather than a specific company with a (semi)guaranteed position at the end of it.
Cheers
