Hey Everyone,
I want to get a job in the offshore sector.
I have applied to almost every offshore company for position of 3/O and 2/O: I must have sent my CV over 50 times now.
Its always the same story - either I am totally ignored or they say I don't have the 'necessary experience'. I spoke to a recruitment consultant and they said I probably wouldn't even get a job on a 'standby vessel' as I don't have any offshore time.
It is impossible to get an offshore deck officer job - even after you have sailing time qualified on other ship types (I have British COC and 1.5+ years qualified sailing time).
It seems like the offshore sector is a totally different world to other parts of the industry! Is it really that different?
Has anybody else had the same experience?
