I applied through a staffing agency and got my first interview, which went pretty well. I followed up with the staffing agent a week after the interview. They ended up moving forward with another candidate because they felt I didn't have the experience they were looking for.

I went to Kirby's walk-in interviews at a maritime job fair. They were interviewing for all inland and offshore sectors. A friendly woman from Kirby's Hawaii office interviewed me. It wasn't a tough interview. We talked about travel, health, and retirement benefits. She seemed happy with the company.
