Resume
& Interview Tips
Preparing
Your Resume for the Cruise Lines
In
a cruise line, the human resource or personnel director receives more
applications for a particular job than he or she has time to interview.
The first task that the personnel director must accomplish is to choose
which applicants are the best candidates for the position.
The
decision can be made simply on the neatness and physical appearance of
the application. Think of this rule: the best resume ever prepared
may not get you every job you apply for, but a poorly prepared and
unattractive resume can lose you a job in a second.
Always
provide a resume that was done using a computer. If you don't have a
computer, use one for free at your local employment resource centre.
There are also businesses that do professional desktop publishing. They
often charge by the hour so if you bring in a neatly printed and
organized copy you will save them time and save yourself money.
High
impact resumes should:
-
Impress
the reader to keep reading.
-
Be
visually appealing and easy to read.
-
Be
concise, no longer than three pages (including your cover
letter).
-
Focus
on your employer's needs.
-
Convey
your job-related abilities rather than your previous job
duties.
-
Communicate
that you are responsible, energetic and enthusiastic.
-
Make
you appear hirable and ready to fit in with the other crew members.
