A Practical Approach to Present-day Seafarers’ Interview

An interview is, by all means, a very stressful situation which people, irrespective of their backgrounds or level of knowledge, dread and would rather do without. It is common knowledge that the fear of public speaking triggers much more anguish and stress than death itself. When faced with speaking in public people tend to shy to the point of forgetting everything they know or have previously prepared. Having a conversation should not be such a big deal though since human beings are known to be social beings by excellence and communication is to them a key component of their lives enabling them to express their personality and feelings. Sadly enough, the interview trends in the maritime industry have come to be psychologically based to such an extent that cadets must by all means be provided with the necessary training prior to sitting for an interview be it face-to-face or over the internet.
