    Welcome to YF. You might want to be a little more detailed about your qualifications to attract interest.
    You used a couple of terms I'm not familiar with: 100 "BT", and "Free lense skipper". This may just be a translation thing, but if not, I'm curious.

    "Freelance" I would assume.
    Spellcheck is a great tool for non native English speakers...

    Check his location he is in or from Serbia. The B in 100BT is Croation for "Bruto" or Gross as in Gross Tons. He has a Yachmaster 100 ton license and is looking for freelance work.

    "Free lense skipper" Come on, even a schoolchild should get that one, hear it like you read it.

    I wish my Croation was as good as his English.

    Figured the lense was meant to be lance, but thought the B might be bulk which is a term I'd never heard on licensing. Rather than assume though I saw an opportunity to expand my knowledge with the help of YF members and I did. "Bruto=Gross" Thanks for that. I've met very few Europeans who didn't have at least a basic knowledge of English. I'm jealous. Best I can do is know when I'm being cursed in Spanish, and a real small amount of French and Italian.:eek: But I'm still learning, especially here on YF.

    Hi,

    With a statement like that I can only assume you are either looking for a medal or the chest to pin it on :)

    Hi,

    I hardly think someone with a 100 Ton Yachtmaster is the best Skipper from Serbia.

    I am sure there are some others from Serbia who have spent a few years in a recognised Nautical Training Institute and have their names on a Masters Certificate with no restrictions who might also agree with me on this.

    Very few who are the best at anything will say they're the best, because, the more you know, the more you realize that you're one screw up away from eating you words. Bragging is also a very unattractive quality. If you want to find work simple state you quals, maybe some accomplishments and leave the rest for your prospective employer to determine. I recieved a hat today from a client which says " CAPTAIN - is always right - and I'm the captain". I told her that now she has to convince all those who know me, and good luck with that. I have met a few Masters who never wanted to hear anyone's opinion unless it agreed with their own. I just waited for them to fall, and they always did. Be proud, be confident, but be humble because perfection doesn't exist.
