Does anyone know of any other companies hiring green deckhands
My half brother graduates high school soon, and honestly I’m getting really concerned for him. He’s been applying anywhere and everywhere he can think of, but he hasn’t gotten a single callback yet. Soon he’ll have to move back with his relative which I can't even describe how bad that situation is.
Doesn’t really have anywhere else to go right now because he signed a contract promising them he move out the day he graduates. It was the only way he would have a place to live so he signed it. The clock is ticking. He already has his TWIC card but no MMC. That's going to take forever but he hopes to eventually get one just to have it. So far he’s applied to:
Florida Marine Transporters (automatic rejection)
American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL)
Enterprise Products
Magnolia Marine Transport
Hines Furlong Line
Parker Towing Company
Vane Brothers (automatic AI rejection)
American Cruise Line
Founders 3 Management Company
Alliance Marine Holdings
St. Johns Marine Group
Golden Barge Line
Upper River Services
Kirby
Ingram Barge Company
Does anyone know of any other companies hiring entry-level deckhands or anyone willing to take on someone young who’s eager to work? Boats that allow him to work and sleep on them is a big plus because they are better than being at home. I know that sounds funny but his situation is that bad. I feel really bad for him which is why I made this post.
