Never give up!

I wrote this after arriving back home from my 1st interview with Big Picture for P & O Cruises!

For those of you who don't know it has been a dream of mine to work on a cruise ship!! Since Oct 2007 when I did my course in International Hotel Operations I have been applying, studying and learning about this fantastic industry and spent a FORTUNE of postage with hand delivered CV's.

After almost giving up, being rejected many many times - it finally happened the "perfect job" and I have made the second interview which will be next week and I know I have the job - you know when you know!

The position is for a Digital Living Presenter on board P & O, 4 month contract sailing the med in summer based in South Hampton and based in BARBADOS in winter doing the Caribbean!!

My job on board will be selling workshops to passengers all about IT - digital imaging and then also selling with NO COMPETITION laptops, camera, mp3, software, satnav's etc. My status with be 2 stripe OFFICER with my OWN DOUBLE BED cabin. I will be working for Big Picture the media recruitment agent - they said it is your business as long as you hits the revenue targets you are welcome to come to us with ideas, even put your own workshops together etc they are very open to suggestions etc as my job is to MAKE THEM MONEY like any business.........

SO I can see myself presenting my own workshops on POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, wellbeing etc making sure they spend more money in the spa and the spa will pay me a commission for all the people that book treatments from my workshops using a special promo code, I will start a "well-being" newsletter onboard via the marketing dept as I will be working with a team of 9 (printing, advertising, retail, marketing, photographer etc) I can see myself become the "cruise line well-being presenter" just going from ship to ship doing what I love and making money and seeing the world!! No doubt I will be sticking my noise into the cooking classes and boosting that too with the HEALTHY alternative. In the mean time I have my interview next Wednesday at 2pm.......just to confirm they are happy with my teaching/presenting style object handling etc....my contract starts the 1 May 2009.........yes I know you must be thinking HOW as my current employer DOES NOT KNOW ANTHING SO as the secret says ASK ~ BELIEVE ~ RECEIVE!!

So what are YOU going to ASK for TODAY??
