Senior Deckhand/Mate Resume Example
Thank you for taking the time to read my resume.
I am a highly motivated individual, and a licensed Third Mate Unlimited with a strong foundation of ocean-going experience, and excellent small inspected passenger ferry experience. My studies also include a Bachelors in Marine Environmental Science with a Minor in Biology. I have a strong work ethic and a highly flexible schedule. In terms of adversity, people would describe me as stubborn- refusing to give up and accept defeat, yet reasonable and well-tempered. My experience with SUNY Maritime and NYC Ferry has given me great familiarity with New York Harbor and Large Vessel operations, and my studies in environmental science has given me aptitude with field work and biology.
I have strong managerial experience, am aptly ready to learn new skills and have a strong foundation to build upon.
