   Dear Sir,

   We are Maxiing Manpower recruitment agency based in Us. We are currently recruiting workers for the post of fish packers to Novarion Food Hawaii in U.s.

   Please let us know if you have unskilled and skilled workers for the

   For Skilled workers:

   Skills & knowledge

   Seafood processors need to have:
   knowledge about different species of fish and how they are processed good knife-handling skills for filleting and trimming fish skill sorting, weighing and packing fish the ability to stack a freezer the ability to operate and clean the machinery used for seafood processing an understanding of safety, health and hygiene regulations good people skills as they may work and live with the same people on a boat for at least six weeks

   “Knife-handling skills are important and you must be able to keep a sharp knife. If you can’t sharpen a knife and keep it sharp, you can’t do your job.”

   Personal qualities
   At-sea seafood processors must be able to learn quickly. They also need to be comfortable spending long periods away from home

   Physical requirements
   At-sea seafood processors should be fit and healthy, and they need to be strong enough to lift heavy boxes and trays. They must have good eyesight (with or without corrective lenses) and normal color vision. Good hearing and hand-eye co-ordination is also important

   “Being fit and strong helps, especially in deep sea fishing. If you are going to the Antarctic you can be picking up and processing an 80 kilogram fish.”

   Working conditions
   At-sea seafood processors work in factories on deep-sea boats while they are at sea. Factories have to be very hygienic and at-sea seafood processors may work in confined, cool and noisy spaces. The person in charge of the freezers works in cold conditions and must have a break every half-hour to avoid getting frostbite. Conditions on the boat can be bad in rough weather.

   Equipment
   seafood processors use the following equipment depending on their duties:

   knives for filleting and trimming the fish machinery for filleting, skinning, mincing or freezing the fish bins and trays for storing the fish conveyor belts for moving the fish scales at the weigh station boxes, cartons and plastic for packing the fish freezers to keep the fish fresh hoses and scrubbing brushes for cleaning the factory protective clothing (gumboots with hard toes, overalls, aprons, gloves and hairnets). Hours
   seafood processors work in shifts, usually six hours on and six hours off; however, at busy times processors may work up to nine hours per shift. At-sea seafood processors spend approximately six to seven weeks at sea. Different companies work to different schedules, but usually an at-sea seafood processor will work one trip and then get one fully-paid trip off.

   Contact with people
   seafood processors have contact with other processors, factory supervisors and other crew members. seafood processors usually work as a team and spend a lot of time with the people on their shift, but those who are responsible for the freezers or for operating machinery may work independently. Experienced at-sea seafood processors may be responsible for other staff.

   Pay:

   Salaries vary between employers, but at-sea seafood processors usually earn between $700 and $900 per fortnight, depending on their experience and responsibilities. They usually receive a bonus at the end of the trip if the quota is reached. This can range from another $300 to $500 per week, depending on the size and quality of the catch.
