London Wellness Academy: How an Onboard Contract will Enhance your Future Career
Embarking on a career at sea is the adventure of a lifetime, travelling the world, seeing exotic ports, and building your nest egg, all while doing what you love most!
But what happens after you complete your contract onboard your cruise ship?
Here are some career options that are available to you. We look at the life skills and career skills gained when working onboard a cruise ship, and how this enhances your career CV and prospects for the future, and how the experience can supercharge your career as a professional.
What are the biggest benefits of doing a cruise ship contract?
It’s the most rewarding way by traveling the world and earning money, with a huge amount of self-discipline and entrepreneurial skills developed whilst enjoying an incredible lifestyle!
All while gaining experience working on international waters with a diverse clientele and team of multiple nationalities. This can take you out of your comfort zone, giving you the soft people skills that you just will not experience in a spa on land at home.
How can London Wellness Academy training help your future career?
The training is strict and professional. You are trained to look and act professionally at all times, while the independent working environment builds your confidence and business acumen.
Your business experience receives a broad range of training not only in running a business, but you get experience in an array of many different services.
In a land-based, fixed location spa or salon, treatments can be more repetitive, with less range in different services. Because training at the Academy includes tailor-made treatments, products and procedures used in the spas onboard, this sets us apart. The excellence in education you’ll receive means shipboard guests receive consistent, high calibre treatments in any of our spas on any of our cruise ships.
Personal Business Skills Development
Being confident and comfortable with achieving targets plus having the ability to be adaptive in all scenarios is fundamental in team building and in your own success in the business!
In an onboard experience, you work in a 5-star spa, needing to deliver 5-star quality every day, with a far more intensive, inspiring atmosphere. On land, you can set your own pace, but onboard it’s a fast-paced, challenging work environment.
You need to be flexible, energetic, and positive.
You have an incredible opportunity gaining life skills and increasing your knowledge and experience in your profession, working with and on so many different nationalities from so many parts of the world!
When employers see on your CV that you have worked onboard, they know that you are used to working under pressure of time and quality of services, that your personal skills and etiquette in dealing with guests is of the highest calibre. What sets our staff aside is a sense of providing the best quality at all times.
So many career options are available to you once you’ve accomplished your first contract onboard!
• Renew Your Contract and Continue your World Tour
Many hairstylists find that they love the experience so much that they sign up for another contract, and often end up doing three or more. The advantage of this is you have a choice of ships after your first contract and can start to plan your worldwide travels to include all the destinations you long to see. The more time you spend working on board, the more you will earn tax-free with all expenses paid, and the bigger your nest egg of savings will eventually be.
• Becoming a Cruise Ship Spa Manager Yourself
If you are keen to advance in your career on board ship, and you love the challenge of managing a team, then once you have gained sufficient experience, you can progress to managing an onboard spa and continue travelling the world!
• Landing Your Dream Salon Job – At Home or Abroad!
London Wellness Academy-trained staff are highly sought after, and top salon owners all over the world know what calibre of person they are, and the skills and work ethic that they possess. As a result, you can apply for a job at your dream salon, or in a related field such as an educator or technician, with a far greater chance of being accepted because your contract on board is a CV highlight that sets you apart and is internationally recognised.
• Opening Your Own Salon
If you decide to open your own salon after you complete your contract, you will have a nest egg of savings to invest in your venture and your skills, along with the independence, retail experience, and work ethic that will give you a great advantage in the world of business ownership.
• Be Welcomed Back as an Incredible Asset to your Former Salon with a Whole New Business Skillset!
More and more salon owners are supporting their staff in the decision to take a “gap year” and work onboard and are keeping their job open, welcoming them back into the salon after their contract. This is a win-win, as the salon benefits from your upgraded skills and expertise, and you can resume your career and continue building your clientele – while your incredible experience on board will also have prepared you for a salon manager, or art team, role.
Your career options after your contract are literally whatever you choose!
Completing a cruise ship contract is your passport to your dream job. A cruise ship contract is a huge asset to your CV that is respected by top salons worldwide. It opens doors and brings new opportunities as the adventure of a lifetime, offering an experience that you will remember forever.
