The Big Job-Hunting Thread

[CharlieDelta]

Ok, so in the same spirit as the Big Interview Tips thread, I've set this one up to collate information on where to look for jobs.

If you have a minute, share as many agencies/companies as you can, with as many details as possible, and I'll update this original post so they're all in one place. I might make them into an article at some stage, if we get enough back.

Preferably in the format:

Company:
Type:
Website:

For example, Carnival UK would be a cruise ship operator. Viking would be a cruise and yacht agency. Etc etc. These are all the details I need and I can go hunt down addresses and phone numbers etc.

Hopefully this will work!

I'm always surprised that there are so few jobs advertised in the Nautilus telegraph, I imagine its free to advertise on their website.

Hi all,

New to officercadet.com but I'm an OOW who now works in London, I built a job board a few months ago, it's got mostly shore side jobs within the industry but a few seagoing roles too.

You can find it at http://maritime-careers.com

I'm looking for feedback on it so do take a look and let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Nick

From first impressions I picked up on a few things:
- It could do with the job listings being in date order as at the minute they are all over the place.
- Be headed such as Deck, Engineer, Other etc.
- Have an "about us/contact" page as sites not displaying this information can come across as having something to hide.
- Have a display theme that runs throughout the site, i.e. a background of a ship at sea etc. Something sleek but not overbearing. This improves the overall aesthetic and makes your website stick in mind.

Overall though, good job on creating a new job board for the industry! Anything that helps seafarers to discover new opportunities is something to be commended. On a seperate note, can I ask what job you went into in London after completing your cadetship? As most jobs I have seen for the capital require higher tickets.

How about an ability to sort by rank?

Hi everyone, I am a recently qualified deck officer and was wondering if anyone can suggest the best companies to apply for when you're newly qualified with little or no experience as an officer. Luckily if all goes well I'll be doing a 3 week temp 2nd officer role in Jan so at least I'll have that first stamp.

I've applied to over 60 companies so I know I'll have hit the 'major' ones however if anyone has any suggestions on companies/agencies etc to apply to which will give newly qualified officers a chance that would be great.

Also if you are recently qualified like me, who did you get your break with and how? I was lucky in the sense I had a friend in the Marine Fishery Protection and I was recommended by them and a lecturer so they've given me a 3 week temp contract. Who know's if it'll lead to more however I still need to apply to others in case this doesn't become a regular thing with a chance of going permanent.
