Earlier this week one of our members reported that she was hired by MTN for the position of Internet Cafe Manager on a cruise ship and starts her training in Florida next week.
She writes on the forum,
“For anyone out there still frustrated with how long the cruise ship job application process takes, trust me. Keep fighting ’cause it’s worth it. I first applied for this job at the beginning of April, and didn’t hear anything from them until about 6 weeks ago. Then I sent several emails before I managed to get the first interview, which was 2 weeks ago.”
Lori explains…
“I kept applying, even sent a thank you note after my first interview. It all worked.”
She further points out…
“I’m proof that you can get the job without any ship experience (or any job related experience in my case…), and based almost solely on my personality. You can do it, it takes a lot of time and patience though, so just don’t give up!”
On June 17th she received an email from MTN with a pre-interview questionnaire…and the rest is history.
She’s expecting to join the Carnival Elation cruising from Mobile, Alabama on a Western Caribbean itinerary shortly!
