    Hello everyone! My first post on the forum (or any forum for that matter). A quick introduction> I'm a young chap (24 years young) , I've always loved traveling the seas, especially after helping a buddy of mine on his fishing charter, I'm taking a break from college and intend to travel to Thailand or Philippines for some R & R...BUT WAIT...maybe I could make better use of this time, why certainly! Yes , this is more than likely the most amaturish land lubberish question you've fine gentlemen ever heard but here its goes

    What is a CV? How do you obtain one?
    What is a IT Tech? Whats the formal training?

    ...go ahead laugh alittle

    ANY REPLY APPRECIATED!

    p.s. Thinking about re-locating to the Ft. Lauderdale area, good place to find these institutions???

    Thanks Fellas

    Hi, why don´t you try Google to find out the basics and come back when you have more specific questions on yachts or yachting?

    Hi,

    CV= Curriculum Vitae, This is a introduction to who you are, what you have done and what you want. These are more often than not not a 100% accurate description of the person mentioned on the front pages skillset and or experience. Any claims you have for references should be able to be backed up with evidence. You can obtain one by writing it yourself based upon your own experiences/skills/qualifications and wants or you can pay a CV Service to write up your hand written notes.

    IT Tech- Information Technology Technician. MCSE is a good start for boat work. You won't get this in a two week correspondence course that claims to reduce years of college to days online :)

    WOW!

    I think that must be a Forum record for the fastest satisfied customer.

    12:32 to 2:07 - impressive!
