You will note my résumé that I thrive working in a hands on environment. I work well in a team and have always had a passion for a seagoing career and I understand that my success at work with a physical and demanding industry would entirely depend on my capacity to learn and advance by instruction.
I am more than willing to undertake any further advanced maritime courses or other subjects necessary to further my knowledge and sustain my career.
I understand that the industry represents a large variety of skilled and semi skilled labour and my passion for a seagoing career have prompted me to make this application.
