Following the massive success of their recent job fairs in London, media agency Webix Ltd have taken the leap and are hosting their first ever Cruise Job Fair in Berlin.
Set to take place on 4th March 2016, this event is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to enter the cruise industry, as it will enable you to mingle with leading cruise lines, hand out your CV and promote yourself to numerous recruitment agencies and employers – all under one roof.
It is an event not to be missed!
Viking Cruises, A-Rosa, Costa Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America, MSC Cruises and Seabourn are just a handful of the many cruise lines and recruitment agencies already attending this job fair in the hopes of meeting experienced, passionate and qualified candidates.
As Managing Director of Webix Ltd, Jay Dravecky goes on to explain: “Recruiters are looking for more than people to maintain and navigate their ships. They want to offer holidaymakers the full experience. One where they receive as much care, attention and entertainment as they would on land. That is why many top Cruise Lines come to these job fairs, to find candidates to fill many of the following positions: waiters, bar staff, chefs, photographers, sales persons, shop assistants, receptionists, casino staff, room attendants, youth counsellors, engineers, officers, etc.”
And the benefits of this job fair goes both ways. Not only does it give recruitment agencies the chance to meet potential applicants and arrange interviews; at this event, you can immediately improve your employability.
From being able to speak directly to your favorite cruise lines, to learning how to strengthen your CV and interviewing skills; you can skip applying for your dream job online and instead ensure your CV always lands in the right hands.
“Attending a job fair is by far the most effective way of finding employment on a cruise ship.
Candidates have an opportunity to meet recruiter’s face-to-face, hand out their CVs and get valuable feedback. According to our research, 1 in 10 job fair visitors gets invited to a job interview which is 10 times more effective than applying for jobs online.” - Jay Dravecky, Managing Director of Webix Ltd
