sampling of who they are talking about who they're working with what they're
looking for is assistant sales managers and sales managers with a bit of
experience preferably to manage some of their on store or on brand stores we're
talking Tiffany we're talking Chanel brands don't you get mad you see all of
them here what they're offering is of course free room and board on crew on
board the cruise ship you're looking at a six month contract probably six months
on one month off six months on and then you earn a salary plus bonuses on top of
that how much money can you make it all depends on the job position you've got
and what your sales numbers are but it's not it's not uncommon for folks working
on aboard these cruise ships to generate
anywhere from twenty-five thousand to a hundred thousand a year depending on
their position of course your accommodations will be small crew size
you'll be able to go downstairs and below where the crew have their meals
that's where you'll have your meal you'll hang out with the crew of course
you'll make friends you'll have your co-workers on board these ships you
might be on one ship for a six month contract and then another ship on a six
month contract it's not uncommon where staff can request transfers from
different brands or different lines or different ships so that the itinerary
changes up rather than having just the Caribbean cruises only you might have
Mediterranean cruises you might have Asian cruises you might want Alaskan
cruises of course they'll be the parties onboard the ship with the other staff
there's always somebody having a birthday and somebody ending their
contract and lots of fun on board it's for the young of heart I would say but
if you want to see the world this is your chance where you can get a job
where you'll put in the hours but you'll also get time off to go on shore you'll
have a day trip here a day trip there and you might travel on ship on off the
ship with some co-workers of yours and take a train ride from the fort near
Rome to the Coliseum hang out for three four five hours in Rome and then back to
the ship you go and take a bunch of photos of yourself and share with your
friends and family back home not uncommon for people who work on board
cruise ships to of course let all their relatives know what ship they're on what
the itineraries are and the next thing you know friends and relatives start
booking cabins on board these ships that you're working on and sometimes mom and
dad come on board for a cruise and they get to spend a little bit of time with
you during your work week and after hours maybe you'll get a day off and
head to ear to st. Thomas and take the cable car with your parents look back at
the ship that you're working on who knows there are possibilities are
absolutely endless and of course if you're single you never know you might
find that significant other that you've been looking for all your life that just

Zealand Indonesia the Philippines Japan travel to China you name it Africa the
Middle East everywhere you can go it's just a question of do you like the ship
life and do you enjoy the career once you've finished your career on board a
cruise ship if you've managed to reach a management level of a of an onboard
store you might be hired by the same company to work on land in Miami or you
can go to virtually any city in the world and you can probably get a job

of these outfits if you have one in your hometown go to your local hometown
shopping mall and the jewelry stores and the fashion shops will be lined up to
hire you with your experience and of course the stories you've got to tell
