Travel Jobs and hard working
Whatever ship you secure work on, one thing is for sure is that you will have a superb time and meet friends for life from all corners of the world. Your fellow staff and tourists onboard will come from wide and varied backgrounds sharing their feel good sensation with you within the settings of the most beautiful parts of the world.

What other job offers the chance to go ashore and visit world renown beaches and resorts all around the world such as Hawaii, Caribbean, Alaska, bahamas, or to Europe like a UK, France, Monaco Turkey

Do not forget that you are staff and working onboard is also hard work, where the pace is quick, the hours can be long and at the end of the day you do not go home. Storage space in crew quarters can also be limited, so we recommend that everyone pack light. All crew quarters are different, but typically an employee can expect to have a small locker and a couple of drawers in which to store belongings.

You may be a long distance from family but keeping in touch is easy due to most cruise ships now having internet cafes, satellite phones and a postal service. If you feel a phone call is the best way it is cheapest to use payphones in ports where the ship will be docked on average 3-4 times per week.
Finally just close your eyes and picture yourself walking along the deck with the warm sun in your face, whether carrying drinks or bringing sun glasses for a paying guest you will only then comprehend the distance you are from the worldly turmoil of daily life.

Salaries

2009-04-01T21:50:00.000-07:00

Big Salary on cruise ship Job
Wages on Cruise Ships
Cruise ship staff is divided into two main groups: tipping personnel & non-tipping personnel.
Tipping personnel
Tipping personnel are the staff with direct contact with the guests who pay them "tips". There are specified amounts of tips per particular positions which are advised to guests prior to embarkation and which vary from one cruise line to another. Such personnel are waiters, busboys /assistant waiters, bar waiters/waitresses, bartenders, cocktail waitresses, etc.
Salary scales typically range from $1200 U.S. dollars - $2500 U.S. dollars per month. Restaurant and house staff can expect $350 - $700 per week due to wages linked to tips.
Tipping personnel have a small base salary. Most of their earnings are tips. Approximate sample earnings in this group are (in U.S. Dollars per month):
Waiter from $1000 to $2500
Busboy / Assistant Waiter from $1500 to $3000
Bar Waiter / Waitress from $1000 to $2500
Bartender from $1500 to $3000
The applicant must have a good command of English, good work experience and appropriate education to qualify for this group (the latter is not obligatory if the applicant has enough experience).

Non-tipping personnel
Applicants who do not have enough experience or do not have a very good command of English tend to be hired as non-tipping staff. They have a good chance of being promoted to tipping personnel later.
The non-tipping personnel on cruise ships are those who serve the crew, i.e. the lower positions in the passenger area - Staff Waiter/Waitress, Snack Steward, etc. They have fixed salaries without tips and their earnings are from USD 350 to USD 500 per week.

Recruitment agents

2009-04-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

Agency/ For Cruise ships jobs/lines)

Recruitment Agents for Cruise Jobs
Most all major cruise lines (cruise Ships Companies) have their own recruitment agents established in particular regions of the world. The cruise line companies would not answer your inquiries at all, or they would send your inquiry to one of their agents.
The best way of finding employment on a cruise ship is to contact a recruitment agent who works for the specific cruise line, if you have decided which cruise line you wish to work for. The personnel departments of the cruise lines would not be able to manage all the inquiries from particular applicants from over the world and that is why they use the service of the recruitment agents.
Recruitment agents (cruise Ships Agency) are responsible for choosing suitable applicants. The agent presents the applicants to the interviewer from the cruise line. It is the agent's task to select from numerous applications only those who match the cruise line's requirements.
The recruitment agent checks the applicant's experience, references, criminal record and they will arrange the medical examinations so that the cruise line representative meets completely prepared people at the interview.
Most recruitment agents provide training for hired crew - starting from basic courses which have to prepare the new employee to the new circumstances ending with the special STCW courses which some cruise lines already require (STCW : International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers). All the courses last a couple of days each
Be careful!
There are many advertisements that offer information about cruise jobs. You need to pay for the leaflet or book. These are fake, very often containing misleading information that will not help anyone to get a job.

Resume / CV for a Good Cruise Line Job

2009-04-01T21:10:00.000-07:00

A Good Resume/curriculum vitae for a Good Cruise Line Job/Cruise ship Job
Recruitment agents & cruise Line companies get thousands of resumes every month. Because there are not too many positions available, the majority of resumes are put aside. If you want to get the job on a cruise liner (cruise ship), you must have a good resume / curriculum vitae.
Your CV must be typed. A handwritten resumes never succeed. The resume must be written in English. Check for any typing or grammatical mistakes. Make sure to include your correct address and telephone number. A good resume should not be longer than 2 or 3 pages.
Your resume/CV and cover letter should target a specific job. Describe your work experience, skills and education that directly relate to the position you're applying for. Don't just list what you have accomplished but also demonstrate how you can contribute to the passengers' cruise experience.
A good resume should include previous work experience, duties, responsibilities, awards, education achievements, degrees and certificates. When you list your academic background, begin with the highest education that you've achieved. Also, your employment history should be listed in reverse chronological order – beginning with your latest position. List the languages you speak and indicate the level (fluent, intermediate, basic).
Include 3 or 4 business references. The referring persons will be contacted and the references will be checked.
Enclose a cover letter with your resume. Briefly highlight your skills and education that are relevant to the position you are applying for. Address the letter to the recruitment agent or the personnel manager of the cruise company. Don't forget to sign the letter.
Be persistent when you apply for a job but do not be annoying. Do not call the recruitment agents and personnel managers too often. Keep sending them resume updates.

Finding a Job in the Cruise Industry
Tips and Requirements (article)
It is important when seeking a job in the cruise industry/cruise lines (or any other industry) to do lots of research. The Internet is a wonderful tool with lots of information available for the job hunter. You need to learn how to apply, what jobs are available, and what skills are needed for the jobs.
When doing your research, determine which job appeals to you. Don't just send in an application for "any position available." The cruise line will think that you are only looking for fun and not take your application seriously. Try to match your skills and interests to a specific job on a ship.

Some jobs are often only available to those who have worked on cruise ships previously. For example, bar tender, purser, and tour staff are very popular jobs on board. Cruise ships like to reward employees who have demonstrated the skills needed to work with demanding passengers by filling these jobs from within the current list of outstanding crew members. Therefore, just because you worked as a bar tender or a waiter ashore does not necessarily mean you will be able to easily secure one of these jobs on board. You may have to start out as a room steward (or stewardess) and work up to waiter, bar tender or office staff.

Jobs in the engine room or on deck are also sometimes difficult to obtain unless you are of the same nationality as the ship's officers. When doing your research, determine what the nationality of the ship's crew is. If your background doesn't match, it will be difficult to get a job in the engine room or on deck. Most ship's officers are Norwegian, Greek, or Italian, with a handful of British and American ships. In addition, many of the technical crew jobs in the engine room or on deck are staffed with Filipinos.
The cruise lines are very particular about the job application process. If your resume, curriculum vitae (CV) or application package is inaccurate, incomplete, poorly written, or goes to the wrong person, you have wasted your time and money. Each different cruise line job may require a different contract or a different application process. Be sure to read carefully when applying.
Beware that there is a lot of incorrect information available for free and for sale regarding cruise line employment. Don't purchase anything without checking it out first. Read everything available on the "free" sites first. You may not need to purchase any information to get started on finding that cruise job you are seeking.

Since most cruises ships cater to Americans and other English-speaking travelers, it is important that you speak English. All cruise ship workers need a valid passport and probably a work visa. If you are from a Western European country, you will need a C1/D1 Visa from the United States Embassy. This visa is for seamen and allows you to work in United States' ports for a limited number of hours/days. If you are from Asia or elsewhere, you need to check with the cruise line or agency to see what the specific visa requirements are for your country of origin. In summary, finding a job on a cruise ship requires lots of research, time, and the right qualifications. It also requires the applicant to properly complete the necessary paperwork and to have the correct work visas and passport. Cruise ship jobs are difficult and require lots of long hours. However, you do get PAID to see the world and get the opportunity to develop collegial work relationships that might last a lifetime. By:LindaGarrisonAboutcom

Finding a Job in the Cruise Industry/crruise line
Pros and Cons of Working Onboard (article)

Some people think that they would like to work in the cruise industry/Cruise line. There are certainly a variety of jobs on a cruise ship. After all, a ship is just like a small floating city, so there is employment to match almost all skills or competencies. Although employment on a cruise ship does allow you to travel to many different countries and to meet people of all nationalities, there are factors that you must consider before sending in your application or accepting that job. This article discusses both the prospect and cons of working onboard a ship, and some of the types of jobs available. It also provides some tips on how to prepare a successful resume, application, or curriculum vitae. Please note that I do not work for any of the cruise lines, so don't send me your resume.

a Positive Factors of Cruise Line Employment
If you weren't scared off from the discussion above, you must believe that the many positives of working on a cruise ship outweigh the negatives. Working on a cruise ship does give you the opportunity to travel the world and to meet many interesting people. You will usually be working with a team of people who are anxious to help you learn to do your job well. You will have the opportunity to develop collegial friendships with your co-workers that can last a lifetime. Although you are working every day, there are some opportunities to go ashore and see the sites. There is even time to sit on the sand and soak up the sun and the sea breeze if you choose.

The pay varies among different cruise lines, but may not seem like much given the long hours you are expected to work. However, you get free room and food, and don't have to pay any utility bills! In addition, since you are working so much, you don't have much opportunity to spend your salary, so many employees are able to save money while working on a ship.

Cruise lines try to have a comfortable work environment for their employees. The ship usually provides activities for the crew and a bar or gathering place to meet your crew mates on your free time. After all, if the employees are happy they are more likely to work harder to make the passengers happy!

A Negative Factors of Cruise Ship Employment
Do you get sea sick? Are you claustrophobic or feel badly in small, confined spaces? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then a cruise line job is probably not for you. You'll be at sea in all types of weather conditions, and if you are prone to motion sickness, working might end up being the last thing on your mind! As a cruise ship employee, your small cabin will be on one of the lower levels, and you probably won't have a port hole or window. Unless you are an officer, you will be sharing the cabin with one or more roommates. Some might describe the space as "cozy", but others might consider it extremely confining. You will also be sharing a toilet and shower with other workers.

You can forget the 40-hour week at sea. Most cruise ship employees are required to sign a contract for four to six months, and are expected to work seven days a week. You won't find any jobs on a ship that you can do during school or university holidays. All days off come at the end of the contract. You are normally expected to pay your way to meet the ship at the time of employment, but many ships will give you an airline ticket back home at the end of your contract (if you have fulfilled all the requirements of the contract). In addition, if your work has been satisfactory, you will be offered another contract (along with a plane ticket) back to the ship after being at home for six to eight weeks. If you quit your job before the contract is up or if you are fired, you will have to pay your own way back home.

A Employees are usually paid in U.S. dollars while working, but do not receive any pay between contracts. The work schedule is flexible, and often demanding. Good health is definitely a requirement, and you will be required to pass a medical physical examination as a condition of employment. By:LindaGarrisonAboutcom
