Re Qualifications for working in the MARSEC Industry
I have watched with a smile, peoples interpretation of whats required!
The Cynic in me feels that if you are ex RM even if having left over 25 years ago, complete a SSO Course then you will have issued Golden Bollocks and many doors will be opened for you
If however you are a mere mortal and do not have someone working for a company who can & will vouch for you? Then basically you are "F**ked"
I went down the basic advised route,
SSO+
Stcw 95
CRB Check
ENG 1
Additionally Ex Forces & Ex Civil Police
All doors were closed in my face, because I wore a Red Beret (Ex RMP) and had not been issued with Golden Bollocks I was in fact "F**ked"
Then I remembered I had a friend, who had worn one of those Magical Beret's. Who out of the kindness of his heart opened a door for me and got me the opportunity to do my first transit! I now have my toe in the door with one company !Hurrah
The cynic in me says, we can pay for all the courses have ex forces experience but without Karma working for us then we basically have to wait till a transit comes up where a company does not have enough staff and someone remembers at the bottom of the CV's Pile you are waiting!
true ive been trying to get a job for ages and im coursed up to the max and i have a magical green beret. It is now becoming an old boys club with people only getting jobs with magic handshakes etc
