And, just as important, you need a lot of experience in this industry. 4. Describe your working day. The working day is not standardized, as subordinates work around the clock. It starts at 7 o'clock in the morning. There are several meetings per day with the management of the plant, where various production issues are resolved, work schedules are agreed upon. You have to hold meetings with your subordinates. Often visit work sites (vessels under construction, workshops). I decide the end time of work. If all the planned things are done, I can "let myself go home." Often, in an emergency, you have to stay at the production site until late. 5. How comfortable are your working conditions (all day outside, or in the office with a cup of coffee)? There is an office where you can sit with a cup of coffee. But, it is rare to be there. I spend most of the day at the plant. 6. What do you like most about your job? Most of all I like the fact that all day you are among people, all day in communication.

Work gives me additional opportunities (here everything that gives you work except money, from self-expression and communication with interesting peoplebefore the opportunity to visit different countries). Each person is something new, only inherent in him. Communicating with different people, you always learn something new. The work gave me the opportunity to go on business trips in many European countries at many shipbuilding enterprises. 12. Do you have the opportunity to evaluate your work on a five-point scale, what grade would you give? I would probably give myself a "four". There is still too much unrealized.
