🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

The length of the hiring process — Be patient; it can take 6-9 months due to crew rotations, and it's not a reflection of your ability.

Social media scrutiny — Make your accounts private or delete photos that don't present a professional image.

Resume effectiveness — Ensure specific skills are visible because recruiters only look at a CV for a few seconds.
