Tips for those who want to apply a job to cruise ship.

After you completed your study in Hotel School (minimum D1) and then had a hotel job experience for at least 6 months, it’s the time for you now to polish your English. But if you feel that you have already had a good proficiency of English, you can go to some of cruise line agencies, and try to apply.
Here are some tips on how to polish your English:
- Speak English everyday. Try to speak English, with your brother/sister, father/mother or your friends. Tell them that you need a partner to practice. And if they speak English too or they still learn, they will be glad to practice with you.
- Repeat the most difficult part. When you find the most difficult part of learning English, either grammar, pronunciation, etc, try to repeat that part many times, give special attention until you feel the fluency.
- Practice describing thing in English: The most effective test of one’s English proficiency is how someone describes or explains a thing or an object. For example, if you see a picture of Borobudur temple, can you explain to someone else, what kind of building, when the temple built, where is the temple located, etc.
This kind of test is also one of some English tests you will find when you apply a job to cruise line ship.
- Learn guest’s complains.
For those who had experiences in hotel, knew exactly what kind of complains that usually happened from guest, and knew how to solve it. But that will be a very good lesson if you transfer those complains into English.
- Don’t get bored to keep practicing English. Manage your emotion in learning English. Aim that you have to speak English. Reach your goal that before making a job application to cruise line ship, that will bring you into English Interview, you have to be able to speak. You have to pass the test.

Good luck.
