    Exclamation Aspiring deck cadet

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Rhys Klein and i'm currently in year ten in Sydney, Australia.
    I only know a little on becoming a deck cadet and was wondering if you guys with actual experience
    could shed some light on the subject.
    I want to do the most I can now to ensure I get the best possible opportunities as a deck cadet.
    Also, what is better, commercial or cruise companies?

    Any info and experiences would be great.
    Cheers, Rhys

    Hey, try "searching this forum" ... you need to do a little work..... this is not fast food restaurant of the maritime industry, "Instant gratification" comes to those who save it for extreme emergency. Come back and post in a few days, and let us know what you "learned" and then share it.

    all may obnoxious love,
    If you're bored..........it's your fault.

    Thanks for the advice, I have had a look all around the forum and have learnt a lot, but the information I want is specific and based on personal opinions as well as experiences and if they could start again, how they
    would do it

    Thanks for the help, Rhys

    I want to know more about getting a cadetship in the best possible positions. How can I ensure that will happen when I go to apply. I have had a look around but I've found it too general. What do the top notch companies want?

    cheers, Rhys

    They want a license. Companies rarely look beyond the fact that you are an academy grad and have a license.
