Registrirani clanovi mogu vidjeti anketu, ali ne mogu glasati i ne mogu postati (pisati)
Veterani mogu i vidjeti i postati i glasati

Veterani posla na kruzerima, budite iskreni prema sebi i ljudima koji su zainteresirani raditi na kruzerima, i procijenite koliko ste sati dnevno radili na brodu.
U radno vrijeme ne uracunavajte pauze za kavu, boravak u crew mess-u ili crew baru.
Sa druge strane, slobodno dodajte vrijeme provedeno na treningu, drill-u i slicnim obaveznim aktivnostima.

Pozeljno je dodati ovdje u temi i objasnjenje.
Nadam se konacno objelodaniti stvarno stanje.

Evo ja cu prvi glasati. Pola radnog vijeka na kruzerima sam proveo u nocnoj smjeni, kada mi je prosjek aktivnosti, u cega ubrajam direktan kontakt sa gostima ili posadom, bio sveden na najmanju mjeru. Imao sam radio na koji bi me zvali u slucaju potrebe, ali se ta potreba, zahvaljujuci mojim organizacijskim vjestinama, ukazivala vrlo rijetko.
Ni uz najbolju volju ne mogu radom nazvati gledanje ponocnog filma u kinu, sa radiom za pojasom. Ili cuganje u disku, ispijanje kava u crew baru, citanje knjiga u biblioteci, gledanje dvd filmova na kancelarijskom kompjuteru prikljucenog na vanjski hard disk, moderiranje foruma usred atlantika iz vlastitog office-a ... itd.

Dakle, bez griznje savjesti izjavljujem da sam u svojih 7 godina na kruzerima radio u prosjeku 5 sati dnevno.

Slijedeci opis je vrlo jednostavno srocena shema koja se bazira na tome da zbog dobrog opisa posla i dobre place, covjek zagrize i pozeli aplicirati za posao. Da bi aplicirao, ovaj puta se mora prvo registrirati na stranicu gdje se "nudi" posao (aljazeerajobs.com), a zatim ce biti usmjeren na stranicu gdje ce uvijeno i zamagljeno izgledati kao da agencija "International Cruise Services" nudi posao, a ustvari traze da se registriras za nekih 50-60$, i onda u konacnici dobijes bijedni newsletter od kojega nema nikakve koristi. Cisto da ih ne mozes tuziti, jer mogu reci da su ti "pomogli" pribliziti posao informacijom, sto je ustvari i jedino konkretno sto nude. A to sto je informacija bezvrijedna - to je vec druga prica.

Description
The cruise industry's highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of its passengers, crew and vessels.
A cruise ship is inherently secure because it is a controlled environment with limited access. In order to maintain this secure environment, cruise lines have established strict ship security procedures that are, in part, outlined in internationally agreed-upon measures set forth by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The IMO, the United Nations body that establishes international maritime safety standards, has taken initiatives to address port and shipboard security. Most recently, worldwide security regulations known as the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code were implemented as amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Prior to these international regulations, CLIA cruise line members had U.S. Coast Guard-approved security plans in place since 1996, in which many of the future requirements of the ISPS Code and MTSA were already included. These plans allowed cruise ships to implement their highest level of security within hours of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Heightened security measures are standard for cruise ships today and include passenger screening procedures similar to those found at U.S. airports including the use of metal detectors. Security procedures include the 100 percent inspection of all passengers, their carry-on baggage and luggage. Each crewmember holds a U.S. seafarers visa and has thus undergone a U.S. State Department background check prior to visa issuance. In addition, all crewmembers and guests are placed on an official manifest and may embark and disembark only after passing through a security checkpoint. Once a ship is underway, only documented employees and fare-paying passengers are on board. Cruise lines employ security experts and advisors and train onboard personnel in security procedures. Many additional security techniques are routinely utilized by both port and cruise line security but remain invisible to the passengers' eye.

The cruise industry works closely with federal, state, and local agencies. They have a security committee that is comprised of corporate security officers from each cruise line, many of which have military or law enforcement backgrounds. Their aim is prevention and detection of crime and maintains law and order on board the ship.
Ensure that the Company's rules and regulations are not breached by passengers or crew. Act as prosecutor at the Captains Court and be able to advise on ports of law/procedure. Security measures when docked and be aware of the correct protocol and procedure in relation to local customs and immigration regulations. Advise the Captain as to The International Maritime Organisation's Guidelines to prevent illegal acts at sea. Investigation of minor and serious crime. Must have experience in the field of drug use, and know the signs and symptoms and effects of any particular type of drug. Advise the Captain of any intelligence reports received as to threat assessments in any particular port or location.

Be mindful of the implications an act of terrorism would have on the ship. Therefore the Security Officer should have experience in bomb search techniques and provide training by means of regular drills on board the vessel.
The Security Officer also mans the "Forward Command Post" and co-ordinated search methods and patterns and reports to the Captain as to progress. All ships are briefed as to levels of security to be implemented and intelligence bulletins are received daily.

They must be able to act rationally in demanding situations, i.e., should there be a fire or other similar threat on board the ship. Prevent stowaways from boarding the ship and have an idea of International Migration Law and handling procedures of stowaways caught. Ensure the hull of the ship (referred to as "The Shell") is watertight and that all hatches are properly battened down. Investigate in conjunction with the ships doctor all accidents to ensure false claims are not made against the ship.

Salary Scale; Senior Security - $3,800 - $4,400 per month (approx £1,900 - £2,200 per month) depending on age and experience
Cruise Ship Assistant Security - $1,800 - $2,500 per month (approx £900 - £1,250 per month).


PLEASE NOTE:- This is the job description of a Chief of Security Officer on board ship.
There are many positions available for Assistant Security Officers.
You must have had previous experience in the security field at a high level.

How to find overseas contractor jobs faster
By William Beaver, publisher
Saturday, March 7, 2009

FACT: The overseas job market keeps changing fast in places like Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan...

FACT: The recruiting pool is flooded because of people getting out of the military with overseas experience and security clearances, plus thousands of contractors moving from company to company...

FACT: Contracts are drying up, or changing hands, and some companies have packed up and left...

FACT: But even under these conditions, with the right tools and sources, you can still find employment in the danger zones...
 
Whether you're just browsing information about high-paying jobs in places like Iraq, or you're an experienced professional looking for your next contract...

You know you need lots of tools, constantly updated information, current news and good advice to succeed in your job hunt, which is exactly how Danger Zone Jobs can help you...

Finding yourself a job is this industry can be harder than most others...

Some traditional job search techniques work, many don't...

People who work overseas as private contractors, whether in security, engineering, transportation, or whatever, will tell you that finding a job in this business is a matter of both who you know and what you know.

But very few openings are advertised, despite the listings in Monster, Hotjobs and others. Employers hiring for federal contracts and sub-contracts have very strict guidelines and recordkeeping requirements for their recruiting process, which means you may never hear from them even if you do apply through their own site.

KBR, for example, has thousands and thousands of resume's in their database, yet they continue to conduct job fairs around the country. Why?
Simple. They need more than just bodies. They need qualified, experienced employees.
Most of the other companies hiring for jobs in Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Kuwait and similar places also need to find people that fit their specific requirements.

Finding overseas contracting jobs is a process, with no easy tricks or shortcuts...

To have a chance of finding an overseas job with these companies, you have to:

1. Network.

2. Stay up to date on what's happening in the industry, 

3. Stay current on who has what contract and who lost what contract.

4. Find out which companies to  try and which companies to avoid.

5. Keep up on what contracts are in play and out for bid.

6. Learn about new regulations and changes as Congress and the Pentagon keep increasing industry oversight.

And you have to do all these things without wasting your time...

We help you stay informed of the on-going answers for those questions and much more.
In fact helping you radically speed up your job search is the whole purpose of Danger Zone Jobs.

Fast track employment information for 182 companies with overseas jobs.

You can direct access company job site pages, saving tons of time. You've probably experienced this problem already. You go to a company site and spend a half hour trying to figure out where their employment pages are.
Not anymore. We've found them for you. One click and you're there.
 
Hiring information so you know exactly what they are looking for. Most employers have very specific ways they want you to us when applying for jobs. Now you'll know up front and save a lot of wasted effort.
 
Current news about them, both from their website and from a vast variety of other news sources.
This helps tremendously at interview time, especially when they expect you to know about their company.

Network with experienced professionals on our members-only discussion forum.

Our  forum has been fortunate to have experienced people offering solid advice on a whole range of issues, for example:
the best ways to deal with not hearing from companies after submitting your paperwork,
the truth behind some of the stories you read about companies, and much more.
You'll have access to practical advice and helpful conversations with experienced people, not rude comments.

THIRD COUNTRY NATIONAL PROGRAM

Dreshak Security Solutions is a service provider to multinational companies that require skilled security specialists for their operations. With offices in Eastern Africa and the Indian Sub-Continent, DSS recruits personnel on a continual basis in order to meet a client’s contract start date. Since 2005, DSS has recruited and deployed over 1,000 personnel for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our selection process is stringent and in compliance with the U.S. Departments of State and Defense regulations. We focus on recruiting candidates that are English speaking candidates and possess a military or police special operations background.

Candidates receive a meticulous administrative vetting to insure that local and government records are authentic, including any record of military or law enforcement service. A local and host country police check is also conducted followed by an INTERPOL check.

In addition to a physical fitness test, candidates are then 100% medically cleared by an independent and western standard medical facility. Medical tests include, but are not limited to, tests for sexual transmitted diseases, HIV, TB, blood disorders, optometry and overall general physical condition.
Once medically cleared, passports with necessary visas are processed. They are then equipped with a complete issue of inner and outer uniforms and tactical gear such as body armor, helmets, tactical vests with interchangeable accoutrements, inclement weather uniforms, physical training suits and kit bags to store and transport their gear to their duty station.

DSS can undertake a training program taught by our cadre of prior civilian and military law enforcement personnel, all of whom have conducted security duties both in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some program highlights consist of standards and dress, physical training, static security guard training, barrier/ queue management techniques, defensive driving techniques, convoy security, vehicular and foot react to contact scenarios, search techniques, communications procedures, weapons qualification and maintenance, and additional mission specified and implied tasks tailored to meet the client’s requirements. Upon conclusion of the training program, the candidates now become a bona-fide “TCN” or Third Country National Security Contractor ready to be deployed to the client’s area of interest.

In coordination with the client, DSS then undertakes the air transportation of the TCNs by commercial or chartered aircraft to their initial in-country entry point. Whilst deployed, DSS maintains the complete payroll and supports any additional administrative, personnel, logistical or travel support required by the client.
