QUESTION 21 OF 30

Name the top 3 qualities you would look for when hiring cruise line staff.

If you look through a variety of job postings from V.Ships Leisure 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 V.Ships Leisure. 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."
