To successfully search for a job in the maritime industry, it is essential to carefully prepare and provide quality scans of documents. In this guide, we will detail how to prepare documents for uploading to our site, which accepts files in PDF format and images up to 10 MB.

πŸ” Document Preparation

  1. Grouping Documents by Categories. Before scanning, it is recommended to group documents according to their type or purpose, for example, all certificates or diplomas in one PDF file. This will facilitate the organization and subsequent uploading of documents.
  2. Choosing the File Format. For grouping pages, it is better to use PDF format, as it allows combining multiple pages into one document, making it easier to view and verify.
  3. Controlling File Size. Ensure that the total file size does not exceed 10 MB. If the file is larger, consider reducing the resolution of the scanned images or using specialized software to compress the PDF.
