Working on a cruise ship may be one of the most glamorous jobs you can possibly land. At least that’s what many people think. I mean after all, you’ve got the gambling and the girls and the parties and all that great food and…chikungdoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05318099077151184901noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805814479261037000.post-41111776962759325392009-04-12T12:14:00.000-07:002009-04-12T12:44:15.132-07:00Okay, let’s just get right down to it. If you’ve ever read any of those “how to get a job” guides for your typical “corporate America” jobs, you know how dry and boring they are. Sure, they work (if you can keep a straight face during the interview while spewing all that BS) but getting through the material is like root canal.<br /><br />Well, this book is the total opposite. Now maybe it’s because it’s for such a fascinating line of work, working on a cruise ship. I don’t know. But this material is not dry.<br /><br />The book is written by an actual cruise ship crew member and hiring specialist, meaning he knows what’s required to get a job on one of these things. And let me tell you, the competition is fierce. So if you don’t know what you’re doing, forget it. It’s like trying to get a job in the entertainment industry. These are highly sought after positions.<br /><br />Neil Maxwell covers everything you could possibly want to know about getting a cruise line job including how to research the cruise line you’re interested in to see if you even want to work for them.<br /><br />On page 17, he tells you 2 critical words you absolutely must know in order to get the job you want. You must read this part of the book.<br /><br />He shows you how to get a job where you’re working the minimum number of hours possible so that you can spend most of your time on the ship actually enjoying yourself. Priceless information.<br /><br />There are also real life case studies here so you can see exactly what it’s like working on a cruise ship before you make the decision to apply for a job.<br /><br />But maybe the best part of the book is the contacts. Neil includes a list of all the best staffing agents so you don’t have to go crazy finding one. This alone is worth the price of the book, which is peanuts.<br /><br />Essentially, this is a cruise ship employment package. If you need to know something in order to get a job on one of these things, it’s in here. There is no question about that. Neil did a fantastic job with this book. On a scale of 1 to 5, it’s a solid 5.<br /><br />And I haven’t even gone into all the great bonuses he’s included such as a cover letter generator, resume and interview guidebook, and crew resource kit. Neil has literally left nothing out.<br /><br />At the very least, go to his site and check out what he has to offer. You won’t be sorry.<br /><br />Here is the site:<br /><br /><a href="http://dwarfurl.com/5e0f3">http://dwarfurl.com/5e0f3</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4805814479261037000-4111177696275932539?l=cruise-line-job.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chikungdoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05318099077151184901noreply@blogger.com2
