Why not make 2010 the Year You Get a Cruise Job?

Many of you may be thinking about your New Year’s resolutions for 2010.  If finding a job on a cruise ship is at the top of the list, then here’s what you need to know.

Some of you may have already started sending off your resumes, but are sitting back and taking a wait and see approach.  That won’t work.

Some of you may not have sent any resumes out yet, but have filled out a number of online applications.  Has that worked for you?  Probably not.

And then there are others that have been waiting for January 1, 2010 to roll around in order to make the resolution that they will start to pursue their dream job.

Well, today’s the day.  You need a strategy and you need to implement that plan.  Here at www.workoncruiseships.com we have the tools and resources to help you get started and follow up until you get an interview and finally land your dream job.

Once you start sending out your employment packages (not just online applications), you will need to be doing some serious following up.  This is what separates those that get hired from those that don’t because many people only apply once and then give up when they haven’t heard back.

Other articles, the Cruise Industry Waiting Game and Copy this Strategy give some great advice about when and how to follow up. 

Getting a job on a cruise ship can be a long process and it will take even longer if you wait one more day!
