[CMA_Decky]

We just had our career fair yesterday and people are interviewing today. Supposedly Transocean has ten new ships coming out and needs to hire a buttload of new DP operators. They're hiring straight from the academy so I'm guessing there's no exp. req.

[knot-ship]

Does anyone else feel that this particular thread will become extremely long if people just keep adding new job listings to the end of it? Should we now limit it to a month at a time so at the end of January a whole new thread will begin?

Thoughts?

[anchorman]

Jobs do get filled, so the format should not matter as the sensible place to start would be on the last page.

[Robert]

I just jump to the last page to read the new posts.

Worth applying for, but don't get your hopes up unless the new administration finds a way to provide NSF with some money. The coffers are tapped at the moment, and nothing is cast in stone for this fiscal year as of yet.

Be cautiously pragmatic...

[HelloooNurse]

the "Superferry" will be out of business in the next year, mark my words...

Having been on the Superferry a couple times myself, just wondering why you think this way???


I'm VERY new to all this stuff, so please be patient. I'm a nurse and I'm interested in possibly finding a job on a ship for longer jobs. My uncle's neighbor works with a company that has him being out for three months and home for one...unfortunately he went back out before I could find out what company he works for! He said that they decent medical facilities onboard and that all the officers have to be at least medics, because they don't always have a nurse.

One or three months wouldn't be too bad....but from what I've found so far, the nursing jobs are more casual, not "full time" work. That is....if you can even get someone to call you back!! Ugh!! Is that normal in this industry??

Also, considering that most companies don't pay you for travel time to the ship....I'd like to find a company that ships out of Baltimore, Norfolk....or at least somewhere on the east coast.

Ok, well thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to give!!

[Ordinaryseaman]

MSC shows that they are expecting to have medical positions opening soon. They are largely east Coast. Sealiftcommant.com.

Also- NCLA hires nurses- but it's in Hawaii- 5 months on 5 weeks off- shipboardemployment@ncl.com.

The ferry has never been popular with a lot of the locals, has had a history of delays/accidents, and I'm sure the economy isn't helping any....

[Capt_Anonymous]

Having been on the Superferry a couple times myself, just wondering why you think this way???

I watched "Sea Flight" hydrofoil Ma'alaea to Honolulu try and fail, the "Prince Kuhio" Ma'alaea to Kaunakakai try and fail, the "Maui Princess" Lahaina to Honolulu and Lahaina to K-kai ferry try and fail, the high speed ferries on Oahu try and fail, the ferry to Lana'i is struggling and I simply think the Superferry will suffer the same fate. They just won't be able to survive the extreme environmental conditions in Hawai'i, the anti-business climate that pervades the state, and the ancient and broken harbors system, let alone the present economic climate.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
