I applied for a deckhand with Ingram Barge and I'm curious as to what they'll pay or what I should ask for?

Question

Plus any helpful interview tips would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You do not need to worry about what you should ask for, there is a set rate for deckhands based on their experience. It is not like applying for a position in a corporation. Good luck on getting the job- lots of people are looking for jobs in this area. In a face to face interview, be honest- if you have no experience, say so. Also you may add this- I'm a quick leaner, a hard worker, and if you hire me, I'll make you a good employee. Do not ask about benefits, you will have plenty of time to find about them after you get hired-They will tell you what the job pays when they interview you.. Good luck!

Answer 2

they will pay you the going rate that they pay for deck hands, depending how much experience you have.  you won't be asking them for $.  supply and demand and they have the jobs and lots of deckhands looking for work.

good luck, they are a good company and i have booked many barges with them in the past.
