Good administration is a good measure of someone.
We at wilsonhalligan Yacht Recruitment recently had some feedback from a Captain that crew can be slow when sending documents (Passport, ENG1, CoC and STCW). This is great feedback we are passing on.
The yacht needs your certificates and personal details to book flights, satisfy safe manning, confirm employment contract and importantly pay you, to name a few reasons. At this time acting fast sending your certificates is a key part of the employment chain. We require them our end for our MLC compliance and to ensure validity.
The Captain I spoke with very nearly pulled a job offer as they were waiting so long for documents.
Labelling all your files professionally when you send them and keeping track of your expiry dates is important administration. It really can make the difference when employing.
Have copies of all your documents saved on a cloud server and on your phone to act quickly when they are requested.
If your certificates are requested get them out straight away as you may miss out on that perfect job.
