    Getting your cruise ship job applications opened and read

    cruise ship job applications

    When it comes to emailing your CV / resume application for a job on a cruise ship, you need every possible advantage to ensure that it is your job application that gets opened and read and stands out from the crowd - because as you probably already know, the cruise line industry is one of the most intensely competitive industries in the world!

    Here’s a great tip that was shared by a member of  http://www.WorkOnCruiseShips.com recently that will help you to get your cruise ship job applications opened and read…

    Creatively title your CV / resume document!

    When emailing CV / resumes to cruise employers, most people use a title like "resume.doc" or "fullname.doc"…

    This does nothing to capture attention.

    Instead, use a title like…

    "Jane Doe - Experienced Beauty Therapist.doc"

    or

    "Mike Smith - IT Specialist.doc"

    Or, include the title of the ship job that you’re applying for…

    "Katrina Hughes - Internet Cafe Manager.doc"

    or

    "Matthew Jones - Gift Shop Sales Assistant.doc"

    Be creative. Think about the words that would grab the attention of a cruise line employer (in a positive way!) and then use those words in the title your resume document.

     
    Your resume attachment will stick out from the crowd before it’s even read!

    This one little tip could make a BIG difference to the success of your emailed job applications by simply getting them opened and read in the first place.
