Summer is well and truly over and now many companies are ramping up their recruiting massively in preparation for the busy winter months ahead.
A lot of ships will also shortly be changing their itineraries from Europe to the Caribbean. And as most ships are fully booked with paying passengers for this particularly busy period, they need to ensure they are fully staffed too.
Take advantage of this period and start applying now.
What’s more, if you have applied for cruise ship jobs over the past couple of months, then NOW is also the time to start following up on these applications with letters and emails.
The purpose of the "follow up" letter is to inquire about the status of your application and "remind" the recruiter of the benefits of hiring you over anybody else. Following up on your job applications is also an effective way of getting your name recognized and pushed to the top of the application pile.
Following up is what separates the winners from the losers – because most people apply once… and then give up if they don’t hear back!
In your follow up letter or email make sure you include the following info: your full name, the date you sent your application, the position you applied for, enquire about the status of your application and don’t be afraid to ask for the interview! It’s also a good idea to attach another copy of your resume.
You will find several examples of winning cruise ship follow up letters you can copy and use within the members pages of WorkOnCruiseShips.com.
Hi,
The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition. It’s perfect thought from my side.
