Hello all,
I have applied twice for the Engineer Apprenticeship and unfortunately did not get an interview.
I wondered whether it would be worth making another application as the six months is up soon, or whether to give another branch a shot. I spent six years as a seaman in the RN when young so do you think a seaman apprentice application may be looked on more favourably? I am not sure I fancy being a chef or steward.
I realise it is ultimately up to me to apply for whatever I want but some other thought would be welcome, especially from anyone in the know or who has been in the same situation. I am getting on a bit and this is likely to be my last chance of getting to work at sea again.
Thanks in advance.
