You the Exciting Professional

YOU WILL HAVE RECENTLY WORKED SHIPBOARD ON A CRUISE LINER AS AN IT OFFICER OR EQUIVALENT! More than likely you will be in Europe and available for an interview face to face…but if not, perhaps we can work with Skype to get you an interview. You will already have a valid C1D visa preferably…and will be required to have a medical completed if you don’t have a valid ENG1 right now.

If this super role is for you, please email me with your updated resume including all contact details (email and working phone number) telling me if you are shipboard or shoreside...thanks.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards.
