About the Author
Jim Ross, experienced cruise industry veteran, has been in the business since graduating from California State University, Chico, California in 1994.
Jim’s book, 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual, is catalogued from innumerable hours of research and his experiences in the Purser and Entertainment Departments. It is intended for the novice and experienced applicants. It is a must read for United States and International cruise lines’ onboard/shipboard job applicants.
The manual includes: resumes and cover letters, job descriptions, cruise line profiles, concessionaires, recruiting agencies, application forms, interview techniques, shipboard information and more. Jim states, "I’m really proud of my sixth edition, 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual, and the feedback from those who have gained employment by purchasing my Manual; beginning with the novice to the cruise line industry veteran."
Jim’s Tips on how to get that first shipboard job: "The key is information. You have to know how to present yourself for any specific position; this involves a carefully prepared resume, job description knowledge, cruise line industry information, salary expectation, etc. Most importantly, to whom and where to send your resume. Contacts! All of this is covered in my new 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual. This information will guide you step-by-step and open the right doors."
Remember Jim’s advice, "Don’t Give Up, Keep Trying" and you will get that job.

Point by point comparison with Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days!,
By Barbara Nelson "Executive Admin. Assistant" (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual (Plastic Comb)
Since both books have the same price here is an objective, point by point comparison.
How much is written on cover letter writing? 2004 Manual- 2 pages, 14 days- a whole chapter. How much is written on resume writing? 2004- 2 pages, 14 days- 2 whole chapters. How much is written on acing an interview? 2004- 1 page, 14 days- a whole chapter. What is the quality of this information? 2004- common tips, 14 days- complete, step-by-step instructions entirely based on the standards set by The US Professional Association of Resume Writers and Chicago Manual of Style. Is there any additional, advanced information? 2004- No. 14 days- Yes, second chapter:" How Top 1% applicants gather crucial information and immediately stand out". The insider secrets from this chapter will pay off for the whole book! Are there job descriptions and what is their quality? 2004- yes, but for less than 90 cruise jobs and 1/3 of each description is redundancy. 14 days- yes, very detailed descriptions without any redundancy for all 128 positions and 8 departments. Are there the addresses of all Concessionaires and Recruiting agencies? 2004- many, 14 days- more and since its publication date is December 2004 they are current. Are there complete details about the cruise lines' addresses, telephone and fax numbers, web sites and cruise ships? 2004- yes, very good profiles. 14 days- even better because the author has also written a detailed summary of what is specific about each cruise line and their hiring policies. I found this insider information of great help and only in Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days. How many easily verifiable recommendations have each book? 2004- zero. 14 days- in addition to the 5 stars from ForeWord Magazine more than 30 reviewers from different parts of the US and the world has used a credit card verified identity to write their only 5-star reviews for it. Increasing number of them share that they are already hired as a result from following the instructions and advanced strategies from this book! That's why Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days is several times better investment for your money.

90% of the information can be found in Internet!,
By
This review is from: 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual (Plastic Comb)
Compilation from available for free information in Internet is according to be the best description of this book. The author himself states on the back cover that the book" is catalogued from innumerable hours of research ..." I wish he was expert enough to write original content instead of just browsing in Internet and listing this and that information.

He'll drive you nuts with the redundancy in the book,
This review is from: 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual (Plastic Comb)
I hope you have already read the "Product Description" from the author- "Highly Recommended 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual Offers Cruise Ship Jobs,Cruise jobs,Cruise Line Jobs,Cruise Ship Job." Probably he things that we are stupid and that is why he has to repeat "cruise ship jobs" or its variation 5 TIMES! Well, you can find a lot of such redundancy in the book. At the end you start wondering who is so stupid to need one thing to be said 4-5 TIMES- you or he! That's why if you have a computer with Internet spend few hours browsing through the cruise lines' sites and you will have a lot more valuable and original content to read than you will ever find in this book.
