What attributes makes a crewmember think about the profits of a company? For entry level applicants, sales training and sales experience is one of the most important aspects of your resume that you can beef up.
So many cruise jobs can benefit from a strong sales background, ones that you may not even think about. Of course, when you think of sales jobs on cruise ships, jobs such as Gift Shop Associate, Cruise Sales Manager, Port and Shopping Guide and Art Auctioneer come to mind. Yet, cruise ship photographers, salon and spa staff, bartenders and waiters should also have sales experience on their resumes.
Photographers need to sell their photos. Salon and spa staff need to sell beauty products. Fitness trainers need to sell classes and personal training sessions. Bartenders and waiters are required to sell beverages.
Cruise employers are more likely to hire an applicant that details their sales experience as an accomplishment on their resume. This highlights the fact that you realize the importance of the cruise line’s reason for being in business, and resulting in you landing your dream job.
