  • Recently there has been quite a few scams out there and we want to make sure that you guys are informed in order to stay safe.

    Join us in this Episode as Warren walks you through his main points on things you can do to make sure that you are actually being hired for the role that you want.

    He does mention asking about the vessel's itinerary, but I just want to mention that when you do this, be sure to include the fact that you are merely asking in order to ensure that you have all of the right paperwork. (As this is your responsibility anyway and you don't want to end up stuck somewhere without a visa...trust me...I've been there!)

    Doing it this way will also ensure that you come across organised and on top of things! ;)
