Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Salutations one and all. The summer was short but I did end up locating a summer internship. Had a wonderful experience, though my time was brief, and had a good relationship with the ship's customer toilets and their hydrophore system. Acquired great knowledge as to the importance of sea water cool...

Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

JK, I never thought of giving the CG a try, so will do for certain. BCFC representative told me they were completely booked for the season. I still submitted details. Now I'm looking abroad. Hopefully something will come through the pipes. Gotta hit the books, some big exams coming up. Thanks again ...

Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Yes I am and it is the country of my studies as well. It's here where there seems to be a lack of cadet positions and not elsewhere in the world. I've recently learned the rules and regulations with acquiring sea time in respect to the Canadian system. I won't go into all the details but let's just ...

Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Directed at JK. Once again thank you for the wise words. When you suggested "government fleet" were you referring to a Canadian fleet, which I can't seem to locate any information on or the group with operations in Australia and Ireland? Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I've been ...

Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Thanks JK.

Looks like a new day of phone calls and e-mails after studies tomorrow.

How come overlooked that? Provided they aren't asking for any money upfront. Let's just say I fell for that one once when I was a young pup but now I'm hoping to turn into an old salty dawg.

Once again thanks JK

Re: First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Twiddling thumbs, twiddling thumbs. Everyone must be preoccupied with the CIMARE meeting in Victoria these upcoming days which should prove to be an amazing event with big player representation. My mobile hasn't rung yet, have received a couple of replies via e-mail but nothing confirmed yet. "...

Re: First Year Completed but More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Well everyone, I've been doing extensive cold calling and we'll say things look promising. You get the usual "send your resumé to our HR department" but it's always a starting point and gets you into their system. I'm amazed to see that the number of views to this post is growing, but once...

Re: First Year Completed but More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

WOW! Eleven views in no time but was wondering if it was from other cadets in the same position as I or was it actual employers? Once again, if anybody has a lead or some free advice, it would greatly be appreciated. I would like to add that I'm a mature person with extensive life experience and won...

First Year Completed but NO More Cadet Positions (HELP!)

Hello everyone, It's been a very busy and fascinating year returning to school. I've since completed my first year but the downside is there appears to be a limited number of MARINE ENGINEERING CADET positions available for the 2011 summer term. I'm not giving up without a fight and have made extens...
