Get out the yellow pages and call companies in your field and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. You can follow up in a week with a call to that person. Take a look at your resume. Is it full of gobbledegook about you are looking for a meaningful job or discusses your character instead of what work you can do? Employers want to see a specific job objective like to find a sales trainee position where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Stuff about finding a meaningful job goes in the garbage esp if you can't say what kind of job you are looking for. You should also be telling everyone you knows including relatives that you are looking for a job. Also apply for civil service jobs and look on the websites of the school systems

There is a Skipper who used to work for a sailing school that I now work for.  I have heard that he shortly is finishing his current employment so will be available. \n\nHis name is Simon Rowell, he is hugely qualified, and has massive sailing experience. If you need to contact him if you email me.\n\nHope this helps you.\n\nHappy Hunting

Storekeeper!  I had the pleasure of working around these folk when I was an SH striker (Ships Serivceman).  Despite what the last poster said, you will not be doing anything with the ships store (that is what an SH does along with laundry, barber shop, etc.).\n\nSKs, depending on your command, deal with supplies and ordering those supplies and a heck of a lot of moving them.  I was stationed on the USS Seattle (AOE-3) which was one of those big darn fuel-stores-weapons supply ships (all of which are now retired and the newer AOEs were moved from the fleet to the USNS fleet).  On that ship the SKs used forklifts to move the cargo we received and sent to other ships.  Since you can no longer be on an AOE or any Auxilary ship, you will be on the 'receiving' side.  However there will be times you will be sending them off (however the BM or Boatswains Mates often do the UNREP or underway replenishment...you'll be handling all the tracking and basic moving).\n\nCan't tell you about the school since it's not my rating and I've never been there.  If you can, get with your recruiter and if you live close enough to a base or command, they can get you in there to talk with the SKs and see what they do...even if you have to drive a bit, do it.

Get a job with one of the corporate sponsors and play your cards right! ...it seems the only chance to get tickets is by winning them through competitions like on Yahoo!

Do a google search for "cruise lines", find their web sites and other contact data, and send job applications to them.

Unfortunately the job market is kind of a catch-22 when it comes to just starting out. You have two basic options for finding a job.\n\n1) Send your resume out through every job agency you can find (Yahoo! HotJobs, Monster) and start applying for every Marine Biology post you can find. It would also help if you could get your resume in with some headhunters... Adecco and PCI are two I know of, though the later might be just a technical staffing firm.\n\n2) Find some way to pad your resume. If you can't get work experience, get something comporable. Certifications are one way to impress a prospective employer, if there are any that apply to marine biology, or you could go back to school for a more advanced degree and try to work in an internship or TA/RA/GA-ship through the school.

My sister worked on a cruise ship and its not as easy and fun as it looks.  She worked long hours and on the days the ship did not go into port she had to work even longer.  She did get to go to some exotic places but she did not always get to leave the ship because she had work to do.  Every 10-12 days, they would pick up new passengers and start over again.

Go to their website. They have a list of things you need to do. You need to fill out an application, make a video including everyone you plan on bringing with you, send in pictures of you and your help team, write a small paragragh about why you should be on the show, etc.

The key question is, were your a resident of Canada? Or were you living somewhere else?\n\nIf you are, then you must pay tax on all world wide income.\n\nThe next question is, were taxes deducted from you while working for the cruiseship? If they were, and the company was a US company, then you will only have to pay the difference of tax between what you paid the host country and what Rev Scam would of billed you.\n\nSecondly, NEVER EVER call CRA and identify who you are when ask questions, as there is a very good chance that this was recorded in your diary notes that they have on everyone.\n\nCheers,\n\nCory

If you're good, you could work on the stage.  I have a friend who worked the cruise ship circuit as an entertainer (dancer/singer in the ship's troupe) and did very well for herself.  After that she went on to work in London doing shows, mostly understudy work, but she really enjoyed it.

The website of the cruise line your booking with should have a brief description of the ports of call and also most lines will let you view their shore excursions and book them online.  I have been to all these places and are very interesting.  Ketchikan was my favorite.  You can also go to Borders and find a cruise book that will tell you all about what to do at those places

Check out damage controlmen, they do alot of that stuff on a ship.  There is alot of different jobs in the Navy.  The Navy website has all the jobs listed and a short job description.  You can always talk to a recruiter to find out more.  If you do go talk to a recruiter bring someone along who can help you out also.  It doesnt always happen but sometimes recruiters can be a bit much to handle.  The website is the best choice for a quick job description with no pressure.
