Jobs on cruise ships come to those who wait!
[ Posted August 5th, 2008 ]
There’s no doubt, getting a job on a cruise ship can be one of the toughest types of jobs to get. If a job on a cruise ship was easy, then you would not be reading this newsletter right now - instead you’d be getting paid to cruise around exotic islands like the Caribbean, the Bahamas or perhaps the whole world - and having a blast at the same time!
Sure, some people get a job on a cruise ship at their first attempt. But amost, it can take a little bit of determination and persistence (and the right information) to get hired in this industry.
It takes the ability to shrug-off rejection
It takes the ability to pick yourself up from disappointment
It takes the ability to correct your course from time to time
It takes the ability to just keep on going until you finally land the job you really want.
Unfortunately, most people do not have the determination that’s needed to get a job on a cruise ship. In our experience, most people send out a few un-focused job applications, get knocked back (or don’t hear anything back at all) and then give up on the whole idea of a job on a cruise ship.
And that’s a real shame, because this week we had a prime example of how determination and persistence really pays off in the end. One of our members has just landed her "dream job" after months and months of rejection, disappointment and frustration (not to mention total despair, at times!)
There were MANY occasions when she was close to giving up and times when she felt that her chance would NEVER come… but she still refused to give up… and as a result she has finally landed a job aboard a luxury cruise liner with one of the world’s leading onboard duty free retailers!
Sure, she knows the the lifestyle, the varied working hours and the enclosed living and work environment might sometimes be difficult and will certainly take a bit of getting used to … but she also knows it will be an amazing, life-changing adventure and she will get paid to see the world.
Her refusal to give in (long after most people would have thrown in the towel) has finally paid off!
