I Need a Job

[shanmonster]

I need job for when school is out. I'm interested both in travelling and saving up some cash, so I thought it might be a good idea to get a job dancing/teaching/working on a cruise ship where food and board is supplied. I've looked online, but all I can find are agencies that charge a pile of money for passing on résumés. Do you have any ideas about where I can apply directly?

Call a cruise line you're interested in, say, "Carnival" or "Holland America" and ask who handles booking their entertainment. If the customer service person doesn't know, they can find out, or transfer you up the chain of management until someone does know.

Most of the cruise lines have a page like this.

I think you should get in touch with my friend ceebeegee before considering a cruise ship job. She spent some time working on one, and I'm not sure she would recommend it to anyone.

I negelected to mention that I will be seeing her tonight, and will inquire whether it's ok to pass her email address on to you. I'll let you know tomorrow.

On the other hand, one of my friends did work on a cruise ship for a while --don't know what job -- and looks back on it fondly. Good luck either way, Shan!
