In our opinion, there’s no right or wrong answer to how many pages your resume should be, but bear in mind that cruise lines receive thousands upon thousands of applications every week of the year. So, if your resume is filled with ‘useless’ information, pointless ‘waffle’ or simply looks like it’s going to be too much like hard work to read it…then it’ll be thrown in the trash can or deleted faster than it took you to click the send button!

For this reason, we strongly suggest that you produce a really clear, concise and powerful 1 - 2 page (max) resume with all of your experience, skills and accomplishments TAILORED to the the job you’re going after.

By getting rid of the ‘junk’ and by getting the important stuff up front, you’ll grab their interest, FORCE them to read your resume and put yourself way ahead of the crowd.

9 times out of 10, a resume like this will beat a 3 page ‘traditional’ resume hands down. And we’ve seen it happen time and time again in the cruise line industry.
