Hello everyone, Im keen in entering this field of shipping. I have a business degree from RMIT coupled with a diploma in shipping operations from SP. I have worked about 1 year as a marine surveyor. Any advise on making this jump towards the commercial aspect, it has been a difficult and long journey for me and I am feeling rather helpless. Any help would be much appreciated |

The industry is very competitive. If you are the right person with right characteristic they are hunting for, I am sure company are willing to pay that amt but make sure u have to perform well. this year is going to be tough on shipping companies. big names are having all sort of problems. People are rentrenched/looking for jobs/seeking for opportunities. I would say if you perform, increment would be about 1k per year (or up to 50pct increase of ur salary ) and with decent bonuses (for sure it is not big- time has passed). Severe oversupply of tonnages. Remember shipping is 24/7, expect urself to work from bed/during holiday etc.... U have to enjoy it! Good Luck! |

STOP UNDER CUTTING!!! I almost got a job with some grains trading company to be a junior chartering executive... they were offering $4k on the initial. I think I was going to get it or be shortlisted but now their HR says too many offers at $3.2k, $3.4k, $3k.... asked me to revise my asking for $4k! Stop undercutting each other!!!! |

Being a roadsweeper is easy to get in - market is undersupplied with labour, present labour doesn't stay long, low quantitative rewards (poor salary) and low qualitative rewards (lousy working environment) Being a Charterer is not easy to get into - market is saturated with labour with high qualifications and unique skill sets, people in the industry don't want to leave, high quantitative rewards (high salary a/o bonuses), high qualitative rewards (free food, free alcohol, excellent environment, command respect/authority) So, to get in you basically need to push someone out, or fight against everyone for that 1 opening. What is YOUR edge? |
