What would be the best job option for a demon who wanted a change of career?

We Answered:

Junior high guidance counselor. They know what it's like to feel perpetually damned, so they probably won't drink or chase kids around for a rifle (maybe a flaming trident, but that's probably deserved)

Jon Said:

Hi, I'm looking for a change in my career. What's the best job you've ever done/heard of?

We Answered:

I was a Surfing Instructor in Hawaii. That is the best job in the world. The other guys hated it because you are dealing with beginners all day. I loved it. You will have to move to Hawaii. Leave today. They will hire you..

Alma Said:

I want to transition from recruiting into another career? What job would be best for me?

We Answered:

I'm actually in a similar situation. You could try HR especially with your recruiting background but I've heard companies like seeing exp. For me, I'm using my recruiting experience as sales experience and trying to get a high end sales job. I'm also looking at going back to school. Good luck!!

I want to change my career and need some advice?! What is the best place to look for jobs on cruise ships???

We Answered:

I have not worked on a cruise ship but I have been on about 20 cruises and I usually talk to the staff, and usually about how work is going. A few things I have learned are that if you are hired you have to sign a contract to work for 8 or 9 months straight. And that means 7 days a week and usually 10 to 12 hours a day and sometimes with a split shift that starts early in the morning and does not end until 10 or 11 PM. There are no Saturdays and Sundays off and you may get to go ashore in port stops on on occasions but not at every stop. After you complete your initial tour then you get 2 or 3 months off before you are to report back to the ship.

All of the cruise lines operating out of the US have jobs information and a link on their web home page. So for a starting point you need to contact the cruise lines directly. On the cruise lines' web sites you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. And there are no fees or charges for information. Some sites even have current vacancies they are recruiting for. Several cruise lines have new ships coming out soon so opportunities will be there. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Disney and some others will have new ships launched in the next couple years.

Here are some links:

Carnival Cruise line is the parent company for several cruise lines including Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn Cruise, and Costa Cruises. Carnival's Corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. So if you contact carnival you can also ask about the others.

DISNEY:

BEWARE OF WEB SITES ADVERTISING CRUISE SHIP JOBS THAT CHARGE A FEE !!! They will take your money and you will not necessarily get a job.

Another thing to do is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the spa, photos, souvenir, gift and clothing shops. Below are links for you.

We Answered:

If you don't know what you want to do check a book titled "What Color Is Your Parachute." It may help you focus on something you will enjoy. I think you can find it at most book stores. It may also be available in your library.
