1 - I've sent/handed in my CV to Job Selection.

Can you tell me if I have any chance for leaving on a ship ?
Only the information in a CV is not enough for evaluating the chances of departure. The evaluation takes place at the pre-selection interview for which you will get appointed by Job Selection.

2 - What kind of job should I apply for as to leave earlier?

You should apply only for the jobs that you have qualification, skills and experience for. At the pre-selection interview we will provide you consultancy of vocational guidance.

3 - How much does it cost and how much do I need to pay?

Embarkation expenses vary from company to company (medical analyses, IMO certificates, travel expenses, cost for visas); they depend on the place of embarkation as well. Some companies pay part of the expenses, others don?t. All selected candidates are informed about the expenses needed.

4 - How much does it take until embarkation?

Until the pre-selection interview this question has no use. After the pre-selection interview and that with the company's representative, the hiring company is in charge of the date of embarkation. We cannot anticipate an average waiting period either because it's not up to us.

5 - Can I apply for a certain company/ship?

Yes, you can. The decision of hiring someone is taken only by the company.

6 - I've sent my resume. How much does it take until the pre-selection interview?

Job Selection is setting appointments for the pre-selection interviews depending on the time available and on priorities. Job Selection will let you know the date and time of the interview by phone or e-mail.

7 - What kind of documents do I need to prepare?

You need a CV and some pictures. Job Selection will inform you in time about the next stages.

8 - What is the pre-selection interview?

It is a discussion on professional subjects and motivation, eventually some tests for professional skills. The discussion is held in English and in the languages declared in the CV.

9 - What is the IMO course?
