Creator's Key Takeaways

I've told you before when I started my career on cruise ships I wasn't that confident I wasn't that great socially however now after being on ships for 10 years I'm very socially Dynamic

the first skill that is by far the most important is likability and believe it or not it is a skill to be likable

we cannot sit here and pretend that English is not important it is going to be the dominant language on board the cruise ship

desperation is the strongest smell in the universe so it is really important that you go into this interview not needing it
