I want to apply for a job on a cruise liner as my next little adventure! I'm a 19 year old female, I studied Travel and Tourism at college for 2 years and got my qualifications. I then went off to Spain at 17 to work as a resort representative for 2 seasons (6 months and 9 months). Not to sound big headed either but this is my kind of job/life the thing I'm good at, I had an excellent client rapport and I really want to try something new now.
My problem is I'm a little bit too free-spirited and impatient to wait till I'm older. I'd like to know if you can get a job on a cruise liner at my age and whether my experience would be substantial enough to get a job such as a junior assistant purser on-board a ship. I am only interested in doing one trip for now as I'm off travelling in 2012 although nothing is properly arranged for that as of yet!
Finally: have you applied for/worked on-board a cruise liner before? Do they employ people of my age (which companies)? Any good (FREE) websites to find jobs?
Any useful help/advice you can offer me would be really really appreciated as well as other jobs that could potentially suit me from what you have just read!
Ooh, one last thing - I'm based in the UK. Just so you know what companies I need to go for
