I just got all my cards and doc’s about 8 months ago. I have my TWIC, MMC, & STCW. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on finding a job. So far the only few places I’ve found hiring are looking for atleast 1 yr experience. I just lost my construction job a few weeks ago due to the company losing a lot of contracts. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I’ve turned in a lot of apps in the past few weeks and still haven’t heard anything back.

You don’t mention where you are located or interested in working?

I suggest that you contact the Seattle fishing companies. Use google. Deckhand on a salmon tender would be a good place to start. Tell them about your construction experience and that you’re willing to get dirty and work.

There are too many newbies for too few jobs in Florida.

I was just hired with American Commercial Lines (ACL) to work inland tow. I’m not sure what they’re currently hiring, but they’re a big company so I’m sure they churn them in and out often.
