Hi all!
I've been lurking for a few weeks now, and I'm now starting to get word back from some of the places that I've applied to, so I figured I'd better sign up! Just want to start by saying thanks, as the info that I've read on here has been invaluable.
Anyway, soppy stuff is out of the way now. I've applied to a few different cruise companies (which is the vessel type that I would like to work), Maersk and a few different agencies. I just received a rejection letter from CMT which I'm a little disappointed at, but have been offered an interview at SSTG.
Now, the reason I bring this up is that I received an interview offer from SSTG within an hour of submitting my application. The two possibilities there are either that I'm the ultimate candidate or SSTG are desperate for cadets. Given that I've just been rejected by CMT, I think the latter is more likely. This gives me a few doubts about SSTG, and I'm not sure if they're unfounded or not.
I'm very keen to avoid working for the companies that are only interested in Tonnage Tax and are going to leave me high and dry come graduation, as are many others I'm sure.
So my question is, are SSTG worth a button? And should I be concerned by the speed at which they got back to me?
Cheers!
