Summary

We're pulling past episodes from the archives to highlight travel jobs this month! This episode was originally published in April 2017. If you work onboard a cruise ship, you’re guaranteed to get paid to travel the world - but is it all it's cracked up to be? How can you find the best cruise ship jobs without experience, and how can you stand out from the stacks of resumes? Amanda Hathorn-Geary is a cruise ship employment specialist who spent a decade working on board before moving into human resources and cruise ship recruitment. As someone with firsthand experience on both sides of cruise ship employment, she’s here to answer all those questions and help you decide if life at sea is right for you. Explore the pros and cons of cruise ship jobs, get a breakdown of the various positions (plus the top five entry-level roles), learn how to stand out and nail the interview, hear about the different travel experiences you can have, and much more. Would you work on a cruise ship after listening to this episode? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
