Carnival Cruise Lines Job Interview Process

Application

The job interview process begins with the successful completion of a profile online, where applicants submit their résumé. Carnival Cruises values not only on skills and education, but also experience. According to Carnival Cruises, "Potential employees should try to upgrade their skills and educational background and obtain as much on-the-job experience as possible."

Selection

After the applicant submits his résumé online, Carnival Cruises will contact him if the company deems him fit for a position. The recruiter and applicant will then schedule an interview at one of Carnival's offices. According to Carnival Cruises, "Once Carnival receives an applicant's résumé and determines if he or she is qualified, the applicant will be called to Carnival's offices to complete an application and a preliminary interview."

Job Interview

During the interview, the candidate will meet with the hiring managers who will assess his skills and goals. Afterward, the hiring manager will try to fit the applicant to a suitable position. There are positions available in shoreside, onboard as well as corporate divisions in Miami, FL, Colorado Springs, CO, and Miramar, FL. Depending on the location and the company needs, the hiring managers will place the applicant in any of these locations and divisions.

Offer

When the company decides on its qualified candidates, Carnival will offer a position. According to Carnival Cruises, a cruise ship is like a "floating hotel" where different positions need to be filled, not only in the hospitality side of the cruise, but also in technical departments such as electricians and plumbers.

Advancement

Carnival Cruises cares for its employees not only by giving them competitive salaries and benefits, but also advancement opportunities. Carnival Cruises said that "with the company's 'promote from within' advancement strategy, Carnival employees tend to remain with the company for a very long time." So one of the best ways for an applicant to obtain a higher position at Carnival, is to start in a position where she can employ her skills and experiences and work her way up.
