Port Newark?

Question

So yea i was told to go to the waterfront and fill out an application. And it seems like it is a secret in order to get into the Port either in NY or NJ as a longshoreman. But this is what i found out yesterday. In order to get into the Port as a Lonshoreman you need to be sponsored by someone already in there. Is this really TRUE? Any feed back or advise would be appreciated thankyou

Answer 1

Yes usually how it works. Especially here in NYC, those jobs are very competitive. See if you can't find a loophole, look up an organization or even a club you can get into to meet someone who will get you in. Best of luck!
