sometimes simple ones

Job Fairs and Job Expos can work for the right person. A
job fair is a good way to bring together a large turnout. It
should be win-win... economical for the employers because
of the volume of prospective applicants they can draw,
practical for the labor end because you can look for work in
10 companies in one shot, and the hotel makes out on the
deal as well with renting a meeting room. However, most
job fairs are not for employment within the maritime sector.
And some are closed door affairs at schools and colleges.
But, we've spotted a couple that are for the public at large
which we hope could be of value to the right candidate
looking for the right position. Click job fairs and job expos

New York's Hell Gate is

leaving off their trip. There are
other places in the world that
create the same sentiments.

The Charm of the South They say that home is
where the hearth is... whatever that expression
means. Whether a person is more comfortable living
near the crowds, skyscrapers and subways of the
industrialized and metropolitan Northeast, or near the
rugged beauty and tranquility of the Pacific Northwest,
it's all personal. Some folks might savor the quiet charm
of Southern cities like Charleston or Beaufort, which
are not too far from Yonges Island, home of Stevens
Towing. Off the beaten path of the Intracoastal
Waterway in Eastern South Carolina, this company
posts a number of opportunities on its career page.

It's a funny thing... tugboat design has come such a long way since the traditional
harbor tug. Today's modern tugs offer glazed pilothouses with 360 degree visibility,
flush decks and simple box-like superstructures and can turn on a dime with their
sophisticated drive systems.

The advantages of those attributes are undeniable, but still, there's nothing like the
beauty of a tug from the 50s or 60s. They look like proud ships instead of margarine
tubs. This is well illustrated by the graceful lines of the Kimberly Turecamo.

Set me a course for the Farallon
Islands because I heard about some
openings there with a local cargo line
that makes island runs.
Right away, skipper! But we think
you might be mixing up your local
geography. The openings are with
Catalina Freight Line, serving the
Catalina Islands, not the Farallon
Islands. The local Great White
population has the Farallons more
more or less taken care of. Learn
