Resume
& Interview Tips
Research
the Cruise Lines
It
is important to research the cruise lines that you are applying to. By
doing so you can tailor your cover letter and resume addressing specific
areas of interest for that particular cruise line. In addition, anything
you learn about the company and the industry will allow you be more
confident during the interview.
There is a huge amount of information
available about all the different cruise lines. Visit each cruise line's
website, read and print the important pages about their company history,
the fleet, the ship's home ports and ports of call. Ask travel agents
about cruise line reputations and their track records. Attend industry
conventions and trade shows. If you live near a cruise port, spend time
at the cruise ship terminal. You may make some contacts or learn some
valuable industry information.
If
you are sending out a large number of applications, it can be easy to
forget when and what you sent to each cruise line. Use a binder to
organize your research. Label
each section with the cruise line that you have applied to. Include the
following in each section: an information sheet listing the position you
applied for, the name of the personnel director (if available) and the
date you mailed, faxed or emailed the application; printouts or notes
about the cruise line’s fleet; the company’s history; and a brochure
on the cruise line.
