One of the best "How to" books I've read, January 23, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
I also want to highly recommend this exceptional book. Actually it is so good and overdelivers both quality and quantity that it ranks among the best "How to books I have read (and I am reading a lot). Great foundation- the standards of The Professional Association of Resume Writers and genius, which is obvious from the brilliant L.A.S.E.R Strategy. Simply the best you can buy on getting a cruise ship employment!

Great book! Just hired by Princess Cruises!, February 1, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
I just want to say:"Fantastic book" and a "must have" for everyone who really wants to get a cruise ship job! Two days ago the hiring manager for my targeted position told me that she has taken the decision to hire me almost immediately because of my "outstanding cover letter and resume". Let me tell you that I am an ordinary, good employee with 1.5 years experience in a 4 star hotel. However the advanced strategies and techniques from this book made all the difference and helped me to "stand out immediately" and get a cruise ship job with a top cruise line!

The L.A.S.E.R Strategy is Brilliant!, January 22, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
The exclusive L.A.S.E.R Strategy in the book is simply brilliant! The 5 steps immediately show great, insider knowledge of the behind the scenes processes and procedures in the Cruise lines' Human Resources and what works best. That's why when you compare it with the common motto of the other authors:"Keep trying until you make it" the feeling is that you have a clear action plan and simple, yet impact steps to make. Of course, the more you read the better it becomes because each chapter is 100% dedicated to making impact cover letter, resume or interview. The instructions are clear, straightforward and really made wonders with my application. Now I am a lot more confident that the hiring managers will really pay attention to my candidature. Getting a cruise ship job is a great and important opportunity to advance faster in my career and that's why I will follow only the most knowledgeable, experienced and internationally recommended author on getting a cruise ship employment. My highest recommendation for this simply brilliant book!

Fantastic book. "You are hired!", March 20, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
It's such a blissful feeling to know that within 2 weeks I will be sailing on Princess Cruise ship in the Caribbean's with $4000 basic salary plus bonuses! All my friends were telling me: "Forget it! Hundreds of top professionals are applying and only few are hired. You don't even have 3 years experience. The only result will be complete disappointment." Well, if I was following the advice from any of the other outdated and brief books probably. However I was smart enough to buy the one which is classes beyond the others and of course I got a cruise job. If you are serious about a cruise ship employment buy this one and let the others to buy the other books-scrap and wait something like my story to happen! I made the right choice. Now is your turn!

Definitely, World's N1 Expert on Cruise Ship Employment!, February 12, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
Since this will be the 25th, 5-star review I gave it a serious thought and summarized the public opinion for the book, what makes it a masterpiece as well as its author The World's N1 Expert on Cruise Ship Employment. I was jumping for 5 minutes after the successful phone interview was over and after I told my mom we were both jumping for another 2 minutes! Believe me, if this author with his masterpiece was able to help a McDonald's waitress to get a job as a waitress in a 5-star restaurant onboard of Celebrity Cruises then he really knows the ins and outs of getting a cruise ship job! I have also bought 2 other books from this category and believe me this one is levels beyond the others! If it doesn't help you to get a cruise line job then none of the other can ever help you out. When Tony, my boyfriend starts talking like this- first, second, third, forth, fifth I hate it! However when it comes to winning a cruise ship applications war for a single position the author's approach and style are both perfect and unmatched! He is giving you just like a road map which you only have to follow and... you are there just like me. I did it and so many people with verified identity by Amazon are writing in the reviews for the book that they have already got a cruise ship job. My mother told me: "Sweaty, it is better first to have 1-2 years in a 4-5-star restaurant before you apply for the cruise lines." I gave it a thought and I didn't agree. Thousands of waiters with years of experience in internationally recognized hotels and restaurants are NOT getting a cruise ship job. What happened with me confirms the author's most zealous target "focus and impact". Celebrity Cruises want to stand out from the other cruise lines. That's why they need people who want and can stand out on paper and during the interview. Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days helped me to achieve exactly this and the words of the Restaurant Manager confirm it: "If you are worried about lacking experience in a fine dinning restaurant relax. In general we prefer to take people with little or no experience and train them how to serve the guests the way WE want instead of retraining already experienced people." I think that the author's zealous focus on the employer's wishes and needs is generating all these success stories in the reviews. The author knows exactly what and how the hiring managers at the cruise lines want to see and hear to eagerly offer you a contract. That's why if you want to be the next hired buy it quickly before your competitors have learnt about it and used it to outperform you in the competition. I didn't allow anyone to grab MY ticket to exotic traveling around the world and tens of thousands of dollars per contract! What about you?

Exceptional book!, January 22, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
It's a pleasure to review such exceptional book. While I was reading it I had the feeling that the author has put himself in my shoes and was answering in advance concerns such as having few unrelated jobs in the past, lacking years of experience, just to name few. The book is very well organized, the text flows easily, the instructions are very clear and presented in a step-by-step form. It was very easy to follow them brecause they are very well thought, professional-grade and complete. Since they are based on the standards of The Professional Association of Resume Writers this is simply the best I can have. Great job!

It was sooo easy to get a cruise job!!, March 20, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
Great value and brilliant strategy are the best descriptions for this book. I also bought and the recommended probably also by The Pope and his dog "How to get a job with a cruise line". Now I know for sure that the reviewers are right that the references are scam. She doesn't advice you something more than to send 50-100 copies to every cruise line and agency under the sun. Thank God, I had Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days and I wrote from scratch a great resume and cover letter (for not so great and experienced professional) and I was also hired like many others in 12 days! I 100% agree with the author that if you do it right you will be hired very fast. Otherwise even after 6 months NOBODY will call you.

Two Thumbs Up!, January 23, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
As Executive Pastry Chef I have hired nearly 220 people during my 14 years career. I know from personal experience that an outstanding cover letter and resume are essential if you want to get the attention of a hiring manager. Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days is focused from the opening sentence till the last one on "stand out immediately". This is what I, you and everyone who is serious about getting a cruise ship job or any job needs- to stand out. Can this book help you to achieve this goal? Definitely and that's why I am writing my first recommendation of book in my life.

Hired by Celebrity Cruises!, March 24, 2005
This review is from: Cruise Ship Job In 14 Days: The Laser Strategy for Next Generation Applying (Paperback)
Great value and the most detailed "how to" instructions I have ever read! No wonder that I got a job at Celebrity Cruises in just 16 days. There is a comprehensive L.A.S.E.R. Strategy which guides you all the way and focuses your attention on the major 5 steps in front of you. Additional strategies and techniques help you to spearhead your writing and communication skills to really stand out. It is very well organized and written book which is levels beyond the other two which I also bought. My highest recommendation for everyone serious about getting a cruise ship employment!
