Having a good strategy for applying for cruise jobs is often a key factor in the successes we see.
The people who get hired quickly are the people who:
1) Have a CLEAR idea of the positions they’re suitable for
2) TARGET their applications to these specific positions
3) FOLLOW UP on every job and with every company they apply to
4) Keep TRACK of everything they do
And they do this consistently and persistently until they land the job they’ve been desperately seeking. And in many cases, they do.
On the other hand, the people who FAIL to get hired are those who apply haphazardly.
In other words, they apply to a few positions here and there… when they feel like it 
Or, in a flurry of enthusiasm they fire-off a load of CV’s / resumes to a few cruise lines for random cruise jobs… and then expect the world to beat a path to their door!
When they hear nothing back after a few weeks… they give up. Perhaps in a few months time they’ll have another go…
However, if you just take a few minutes out to follow a proper plan and then stick to that plan and keep a log of everything you do… then you’ll get some great results.
Here’s a few things you should be keeping track of:
* The job you applied for
* The cruise line/agency/concessionaire you applied to
* The address/email/website you applied to
* The date you applied
* The response (if any) you received
* The date you followed up (you did follow up, right?)
* Notes about each application you make
This might seem like a lot of extra work, but it’s not once you’ve set it up… and it’s certainly worth doing if you’re SERIOUS about getting a job that pays you to travel the world and enjoy some tremendous life experiences!
