Thank you, Samantha and Tom!

These are excellent resources. I appreciate your taking the time to find and share these great links. There may be other ACP members in the job market who can utilize them, as well. I'll let you know how the links work out for my job search. So far, they are excellent. Thanks again for your assistance!

Tom,

Thank you for your messages! Maybe someday I'll own a bulk carrier. Then I'll have a BBQ on the fantail and invite everyone over! This is an excellent NPR article on maritime transportation. Thank you for sending it to me. I know a lot of people in the maritime sector who will like this one. Thank you for your help, Tom, and have a great week!

Best Regards,
Carl Williams

Carl - Be sure to invite us over to your yacht for burgers and sodas when you are a shipping magnate!

Carl,

using https://www.google.com/search?q=maritime+career+mentor I found the maritimementors.com mentoring program. It looks to me like it might be a useful tool for obtaining a mentor within the maritime sector, and career advice regarding the maritime industry.

The site appears to have over 160 mentors and other tools.

Please report back to us and let us know what you find and if we should recommend the site to others.
