Start Your Cruise Ship Job Now!

Author : Neil Maxwell Keys


         


Deciding to give up a perfectly good job on land to pursue a career on a cruise ship may have some of your friends and family questioning your mental sanity. However, why not make 2010 the Year You Get a Cruise Job?

Although it is a risk, it has huge benefits and rewards, your chance to travel and see the world being one of the greatest.

Can you deal with strict rules and regulations for months at a time?

Would you be able to handle cramped living quarters for extended periods of time?

Once you have a good understanding of what a cruise ship job is all about, you will need to decide on what type of job would match your skills and experience. You may not actually be changing your career path, but rather choosing a job that complements your experiences and skills.

Careers at sea are unique in many aspects. Starting with a 7 day work week and the fact you may have to share a cabin with another crew member are a couple of truths that go along with a dream job on a cruise ship.

After you've taken all of the above into account, and you are still dead set on finding a cruise ship job, then below are somethings you really should 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 waited for January 1, 2010 to roll around in order to make the resolution that they will start to pursue their dream job.

Well, it's already March, so there's no time like the present. You need a strategy and you need to implement that plan.

First of all, reassess your cover letter and resume. Are you making any of our Top Resume Mistakes?

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.

It is often a long process applying for a cruise ship job and if you wait even one more day you may miss your perfect opportunity!
