Hi guys, i'm 30 years old and have decided i need to start a new career that will take me places but i'm a bit unsure if my age will be against me or not as most of the candidates are a lot younger than me. Also i found the application forms were aimed at school/college leavers and its been over 10 years since i finished in college.
I have applied to Clyde Marine, SSTG and Maersk. Although not sure what will happen now, ive had the usual acknowledgment emails saying my applications have been received although the Maersk response did explain that they only have an intake in September and it would be January/February before i hear from them again.
I suppose i would just like to hear from people that have had similar experiences. I also think it would be very interesting to know if anyone else has left it a bit later in life to start a career on the sea. Any advice, help or general comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
