Getting your cruise ship job applications opened and read
[ Posted August 11th, 2008 ]
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.
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.
