Apart from sending your employment package out sooner rather than later, there are some tricks to decrease the time it takes to get started working on a cruise ship.
This is not a ‘get-rich-quick-scheme’, though. The application process takes effort. And the better the effort, the better the chances are to get hired to work on a cruise ship.
Extra effort starts in the form of tweaking your resume and cover letter. If you’ve been waiting for a long time for the cruise lines to call, it may be time to re-look at your resume and cover letter.
The Getting Hired department of WorkOnCruiseShips.com has numerous articles to assist members in getting their cover letter and resume ready to send out. For example, Top 10 Cover Letter Mistakes Cruise Ship Applicants Make and 10 Biggest Resume Mistakes Cruise Job Seekers Make both give inside tips that have helped our members successfully modify their employment packages for the cruise industry.
Another important tip is to get the resume and cover letter to the right person. So while you may have sent your resume through an online application, have you mailed it as well? Do you have the right contact information?
WorkOnCruiseShips.com maintains A-Z Directories that contain valuable physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and various contact information.
You won’t get hired if you can’t land an interview. You won’t land an interview if your cover letter and resume are weak. And no one will read your resume if it doesn’t end up on the right desk. By getting started today, you will be one step closer to being hired for your dream job of working on a cruise ship.
