Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me??

I am trying to get information and apply for positions which may be available on cruise ships, with reputable companys e.g. Royal Caribbean etc... I have been looking on the internet for sites with e-mail addresses or fax numbers but a lot of them use recruitment agencys a lot of which will only recruit from the UK! Also a lot of the sites give a basic info on job descriptions etc but you have to pay for them to pass out your cv...Is this a scam or is this the only path to take?/

Sorry for the long winded post..if anyone has already gained employment or is in the same boat as me (trying to) then you can pm me or just reply here if you have the time!!

Thanks a mil,
X

This has been mentioned as a scam before. I know this is a very old thread, but it may still be relevant to you:
