Hello, I just watched the video with my students. In the video, you suggest that you could offer examples for specific jobs if we asked for them.
My students are going to be logisticians, naval architects, marine engineers and ship captains. Can you provide examples for these positions, please?

Indeed is incredibly hard to contact or to provide a feedback. And support requests are accepted only from employers. Frustrating.
