Resume
& Interview Tips
Online
Applications
Online
applications for shipboard jobs began a few years ago with simply
submitting a resume electronically via the cruise line's website. Now
most cruise lines have adopted the use of online forms. These forms are
made up of questions that you must answer by filling in limited-space
boxes. Cruise lines prefer online applications. While they may receive
more applications, they have a much easier time sorting the data. For
example, it is easy for the cruise line to find out who selected Spanish
as a second language if that is a skill they require for a position.
Online applications also reduce paper waste and filing time for the
company.
For
the applicant, online applications save you money, paper and postage.
Another benefit is that the cruise line instantly receives your
application. Disadvantages of online applications are that they limit
your creativity and individuality. To counter this effect, it is
especially important to analyze your phrasing, grammar, punctuation and
spelling when applying online. It is important to condense your skills
into key words and sharp action phrases. For help with this, begin your
phrases with the words listed on about.com
- Action Verbs.
