Creator's Key Takeaways

once you've got your foot in the door everything kind of opens up for you but when you are applying for jobs and you've never had any experience

if you are struggling to get a job if you are finding that the doors keep closing then maybe it's time to just open yourself up to other possibilities

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Apply for your desired role across multiple different cruise lines rather than just one.

✓Be open to applying for multiple different roles within a single cruise line.

✓Use entry-level roles to gain experience that makes competitive departments easier to join later.
