I applied last time.
And get sponsored by BumiArmada.
But i rejected , as my family said

1)Tough and rough job
2)My family said, They afraid i cannot, and quit then need to pay more cause under sponsorship,
3)Need to work for BumiArmada for a period , which maybe I cannot complete due some reason , then i also need pay them alot.
4)Risky.
5)Family said , im STPM graduated , wasted if go for diploma that offered.

But now doing my degree, and upon complete my degree.
I think my salary is around 2k only =="
Swt. And I heard that any country in worldwide lacking of seafarer.
In Europe and some country, they offer a VERY nice benefits working for them.

@helloofmind: Its a offshores job bro. The salary will be higher than any others job in msia i think, unless be own boss of business, or CEO.

Normal seafarer , one day salary on offshores , is around 150+- and above. If 150x30=4500. Without OT + other allowances.

If been promote higher rank is sure more than this. It will multiply.
With more experiences and high rank, I don think salary more 15k is not impossible. This apply in msia, But if other country,haha perhap it is more than that.
That is why I thinking make a wrong decision o not after rejected the sponsorship.

I rejected ALAM offer last time but now think it back like jus wasted. Haha, since recession in msia, if u grad as seafarer sure no problems. Cause u don need find the job but they already give u the job with a good benefits.

Anyway,
To be successful for sponsored, i have few opinions here.
*Make sure u have a medical fits(Which no sickness o illness) if not harder u get in.
*Is an advantage if u dont have any vision problems(Colour o vision blind) which mean perfect eyesight is preferable.
*I think geography and race is one another factor which u cant ask they why. I think u will know what this mean.
*And lastly, make sure u take this line as ur future, if not dont do it, once u break the contact, i think u will stay just like hell, u need pay back much more than they amount they spent on u.
* And if u not the one tough and rough, which maybe u easy get sick and bored with a job, better don try ~

That my advise ^^ Good luck to all~

Destroyer
