This is for you the reader to use, so please use the data and build yourself an amazing resume that
gets you lots and lots of interviews! Isn't that the what it's all about? I think so!

Good Luck !

Point Number 1: Use Powerful Action Words and Phrases

Notice In the title above I could have said "Use verbs" but that wouldn't have been as strong, See? Your Resume has to grab the readers attention. Get a thesaurus or book on word use or grab a Professional Resume Writer, whatever, but do not skip this step. This alone makes the difference between getting "seen" and well... no interviews!

Point Number 2: Use Post Titles That Describe The Positions Accurately (within the Industry)

"What does that mean?" You may ask.

Use this guide:

1. Do the job titles reflect the duties that are listed.

2. Does the job title indicate the level of the post ? i.e. Junior or Senior positions. An example: A Janitor is also classified as a Jr. or Sr.building Maintenance engineer.

3. The post titles should be "current" Don't use old outdated job titles. Older job titles may inadvertently create the wrong impression.

Point Number 3: Be Sensible With The Design, Layout and Formatting Of Your Resume

Give your resume a balanced and even look. When formating your resume for distribution
keep in mind that Microsoft WORD is used by a virtually every businesses in the USA. Don't write
your resume in Corel WP, Mac, Works or other files No one can read them! If you are sending your
resume electronically, format it in a web-friendly text format so that when it is scanned in it will
also be readable.

Remember resume writing is a Business activity not a wedding invitation so use simple easy to read fonts,
don't use more than 1 or 2 styles or sizes. Use even spacing and make the Resume Pop and Stand Out!

Point Number 4: You have to have a Logical and Easy To Follow Flow To Your Resume.

Remember you are trying to "Sell" You. You must guide the reader taking him where you want him to go, having him see and discover exactly what you want him to discover and keep his Interest growing the whole time. The objective Statement (Summary) comes first, but then what?

Look over the following:
A. Your Education should be a second page Item unless: you are a new graduate with 2 years or less of experience. Or if, you have a distinguished degree or a degree from a top level institution.

B. For the best effect the objective Statement (Summary) should lead into a section showcasing your areas of expertise. Spreading out this data through the body of the resume doesn't give the resume punch it harms it.

C. There should be a section on your qualifications and if applicable your growth as a professional in your field. This should be followed by your career path history.

There, now you have the 2nd part of Resume Writing, The Truth Revealed ( A Three Part Exposé ). These are powerful data for you. Use them well, Good Luck and read the other 2 parts of this series.

How to Customize Your Cruise Ship Resume and Get on the Fast Track to Being Hired

Most people fail to get hired on a cruise ship because of their CVs or resumes. Besides sending off your employment applications as soon as possible, there are ways of speeding up the process of being hired so you can start working on a cruise ship sooner rather than later.

You will reduce your chances of getting hired if you use the same CV/resume for every job application that you send out. If you do not take the time to customize each resume you send out, cruise lines will pick it up straight away that you've sent the same resume to all of their competitors. So, this is not a 'get-rich-quick-scheme' - you have to put some effort into the application process. And the more effort you put in, the greater your chances of being hired on board a cruise ship.

You just need to start by making small changes to your cover letter and resume. If you've been waiting for a long time for the cruise lines to call, it may be time to re-look at your resume and cover letter.

What is the best way to customize your resume so that it stands out above the rest?

Firstly, you need to be very specific about the position that you're applying for. For example a Junior Assistant Purser with one cruise line might be called a Guest Services Officer with another line. Ensure the title is correct and include it in the Career Objective.

The Career Objective must stand out from the rest of the other applicants' resumes. Don't sound desperate and say you'll do anything. Have a career objective that clearly defines the position you are applying for, the cruise line you are applying to, and your experience that makes you an ideal candidate for the job.

Next, you need to look for specifics in what the cruise lines are looking for. To do this, study the cruise ship job descriptions; have a clear idea of the position that you are applying for and use similar terminology in your resume to clearly match the skills and experiences of the job requirements listed. Each resume needs to be specific to each cruise line and cruise ship job you are applying to.

Another important tip is to get the resume and cover letter to the right person. So while you may have sent your resume through an online application, have you mailed it as well? Do you have the right contact information?

Just make sure that you send the right resume to the right cruise line!

You won't get hired if you can't land an interview. You won't land an interview if your cover letter and resume are weak. If you resume is not sent to the correct person, it will not be read. By getting started today, you will be one step closer to being hired for your dream job of working on a cruise ship.
