If you look through a variety of job postings from Norwegian Cruise Line you will see there are common characteristics they seek when hiring new employees.
These characteristics include:
- Pride in your customer service
- Positive personality
- Willingness to adapt
- Regard for safety
- Respectful and trustworthy
Show the interviewer that you are aware of what it takes to be a successful employee at Norwegian Cruise Line. If you were in charge, who would you hire and why?
"If I were hiring cruise line staff, I would look for people who could adapt to changing situations, who were quick problem solvers, and who carried a positive attitude everywhere you go. I believe that I fit the bill in all three of these areas. My references could vouch for this as well."
"Hiring cruise line staff is likely a difficult task since you want to find people who excel in customer service, who can handle the unique lifestyle and at the same time, stay as long-term as possible. I imagine the industry attracts more transient individuals that you would prefer. If I were hiring, I would look for someone dedicated to the hospitality industry, has a genuine interest in travel, and who wanted to work in a close-knit team environment. I would be sure to check references as well."
