Working on a large ship involves not only making money, but also the opportunity to travel at the expense of the employer. What documents do you need to present and what do you need to know in order to get a job on a ship?
Instructions
Step 1
If you do not have a degree in marine transport engineer - do not be upset. If you really want to, you can still find a job in large shipping companies. Large tourist liners each year recruit large staff to serve tourists during cruises.
Step 2
First, decide on such a company. Flip through the pages of the Internet and choose the one that suits you. These can be both Russian and foreign companies. All admission conditions are published on their website. Fill out the form and expect a response.
Step 3
Don't sit back. While there is no answer, actively improve your knowledge of a foreign language. The main one, of course, is English, but you get a big plus if you speak one or two more.
Step 4
Also, a nautical school diploma will be a good bonus in your favor. If you consider studying as a waste of time, try buying a ready-made crust. Sometimes it goes away.
Step 5
Search not only for cruise lines, also look for companies that hire for heavy ships. Girls are hired by cooks and medical workers. But here, of course, one cannot do without a special diploma. In addition, you must have good knowledge of this specialty and at least minimal work experience.
Step 6
The easiest way is to apply to a specialized recruiting agency. Firms that are engaged in the selection of personnel for sea transport are called crewing.
Step 7
After the agency has reviewed your application, you are invited to their place. Come there with all the necessary documents. Don't forget a reference from a past employer. For foreign companies, it must be translated into English. The recommendation must be signed and stamped.
Step 8
The crewing agency will conduct special trainings with you to prepare you for the interview. They last approximately two weeks. Paid courses can also be arranged. After that, the first stage of the interview will begin. It is held in English. You must clearly answer the questions posed. They can relate to both the weather and more complex life topics. The main task of the examiners is to find out from you the true reasons for wanting to get on the ship. They are afraid that you might stay in one of the foreign countries. Therefore, think in advance why you are looking for such a job.
Step 9
Say that you love traveling, that you really enjoy preparing delicious meals that will be served to tourists, that you want to make money for your studies. In support of your words, stock up on evidence that you do not intend to leave your country for good. The next step will be a computer test for knowledge of English, then a psychological one. And in conclusion - a conversation with the direct employer.
Step 10
If everything goes well, prepare your visa, undergo an independent medical examination and pack your bags.
