From my experience, it takes a month or two from posting resumes online and sending out resumes for the HR people to actually respond to them. I left my last job and started posting on job sites and religiously following job boards and didn’t hear anything for a month and a half. Then all of a sudden I got probably 8 or 10 replies. I’d say post your resume online and be patient. The HR people don’t ever seem to be in as big of a rush as we are to get working. Also, check out the maritime academy job boards. A few of them don’t require passwords. And remember there are more academies and job boards than just the one you graduated from.
