got a phone call from them today offering me an interview on the 2nd of June

means iv another option for when I leave school in 4 days time!

Hopefully got another 2 interviews lined up as a technician offshore, the job with Maersk would let me see the world though and thats a damn sight better than the North Sea!!

anyone else here in the merchant navy? one of my mates is with anglo eastern and another starts with maersk later on this year
