    Having any past experiences at sea or engineering backround/navigational backround helps a lot towards being accepted, as long as your GCSE/A-level grades are massivly below there requirements
    Life at sea is a life for me

          Things like that look good as it shows that you are capable of doing more than drinking cheap booze in a graveyard!

          Also, the compt crew one will be good as it shows that you are able to work in a team, which is the pure essence of being at sea is. Just being a good navigator/engineer isn't enough. You do actually have to get along with the folks your working with!
          I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

              It isnt? Since when? Bahhhh Humbug........best thing to do, send you out on a weeee jobie (search forums for reference to Weee jobie) wait oooo 20 mins then wander along with some words of encouragement...like.........Is it fixed yet? Or....(after a long complex explanation from you).....spare me the details just fix the fecking thing (best said in a scouse accent)

              22 years and counting

              Seriously though stick those things in your CV either as direct qualifications of as a sub header for "an other interests" or maybe "hobbies", in and of them sleves they dont mean much as far as this career is concerened but show you as are a more rounded person type thing...all those lovely soft skills people seem to think are important (compared to say actually knowing which end of a hammer to use)

              With those grade though and the added stuff, some one wil pick you up for sure, so good luck
