My start is with SS7.
Over the last 4 years ive worked with pneumatic products that are used in a maritime environment and managed to get some time working at sea which I think helped.
I was actually concerned that this was too short a time – it was my longest posting with any company on my CV – and thought they would be concerned I was quick to change focus. I thought if they are investing in people, they want to see commitment to stay the course, and good return on their investment.
Regarding meeting new people and new environments. This was definitely an area they explored as part of the recruitment process. They were keen to know my opinions RE: working with other languages, cultures, types of person, confrontation management etc. I guess this makes sense where you are working with a global company in a confined and isolated environment for extended periods of time!
There were over 800 CV’s for 12 spots. So despite your CV ticking the right boxes I wouldn’t feel not being selected reflects on your application. That’s just odds. (I sent the same CV (-1yr) to them for a previous recruitment campaign and didn’t get noticed at all)
I know they will be running more recruitment campaigns, they are bringing on more ships and the demand seems to be increasing. So its a case of continuing to apply and occasionally calling the office and getting your name bounced about.
