This website looks to be a compilation of many of the Alaska Seafood companies and their websites, which post the jobs they have available. I see no reason why it should't be considered legitimate.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

Thanks for the comment...I guess one would be dealing with each individual prospective employer versus through the website with the clearinghouse.

Thanks for the comment...I guess one would be dealing with each individual prospective employer versus through the website with the clearinghouse. Yes indeed, and that would be preferable in my estimation, as a "clearinghouse" would undoubtedly have outdated information. This is a real pain in the arse, but I would advise whoever is looking for such a job, to research the companies that are of interest on that website and try to contact the hiring authority, if that information is available, as HR tends to just lump applications together and weed through them rather quickly. As you are likely aware, if you can find the hiring authority at a particular company, make contact, express interest and are able to highlight your skills, that would be much more effective than simply submitting an application. Good luck.

It seems most jobs boards that require a subscription are a scam and just a way to make money for the board, not to help people get gainfully employed.
Most jobs no matter the industry are filled via word of mouth and personal recommendation.

That would be the conventional wisdom.

I know that most of the companies listed are legit. It seems some are missing from the list especially nearby (relatively speaking). Can't tell you a thing from the site itself. AK SEAFOOD PROCESSORSOh..........And about this little horseschitt piece of fluff.................. ABOUT ALASKAFISHINGJOBS.COM
AlaskaFishingJobs.com is the leading source of Alaska Fishing Job information since 1992. We offer employment information and contacts related to searching for seasonal jobs in the lucrative Alaskan commercial fishing industry. Our site helps to connect job seekers and employers on commercial fishing boats, in canneries or floating processors, at sea or on land, in Alaskan fisheries such as: Salmon, king crab, opilio crab, dungeness crab. herring, halibut, black cod, pollock and other groundfish. The types of gear used on fishing boats includes purse seine, driftnet, set net, beach seine, pots, longline and trawl.
It's only lucrative if you already own your own boat, permits and gear (which has to be replaced periodically. Fish nearly year-round if you have the permits and gear, Shanghai family into being crew, offer minimal crew share and do a goodly amount of your own maintenance, work your ass off in miserable and dangerous conditions..................or own a small fleet and Shanghai drunks and ne'er-do-wells to crew the boats for minimal crew share.
