Gambling cruise ship experience, now ready for the real thing...?

Question

Hi, I worked on a gambling cruise ship that went out 9 miles into international waters from St. Petersburg FL. I was a poker manager, a lead in crisis & crowd management, and also assisted in marketing and advertisement for the ship(all under the same contract). Now, I live in California and have sent out my resume, references, and other documents relevant to this job to various cruise lines(i.e. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, etc.). I have researched this enough to know that you should never pay towards websites to distribute your applications, and that it takes a few months for a response. My inquiries are: is there any way I can speed things up? Are there any hiring agents out there I can get in contact to? If I am called in for an interview, what if it's out of state; will they do it over the phone? Is there anyone out there that are hiring aboard right now that want to contact me? Thanks.

Sincerely,

BruceKnight

Answer 1

why not call the cruise line's corp offices directly?  Most of them are based in or near Miami.

Answer 2

I think you are on the right track.  If you can find a "hiring agent" and get connected to them, you might get a job.

good luck
