Is this an employment ad posted on the net somewhere?

What is it?

 

If I lived in Seattle, I might have applied. :D

On the bottom of the HAL site home page there's a link to Careers. If you click that, it breaks down to land-based and ship-based employment. If you click on the land-based it takes you to a site called careerbuilder.com where the Ship Inventory Specialist job is listed. (And a couple others.) :)

[sail7seas]

:) Thanks, John

 

You know so much about the HAL site? :D I barely go there to do more than look for itineraries, check prices, pre-register and now for e-docs. I hardly roam around there at all. I don't find it all that much fun to navigate but that is just me.

I have LOTS of time on my hands, and like to explore! :D

[RedmondCruiser]

Interesting ------ Since I live in Seattle I wonder ??? Possibly book an NN and then upgrade myself to a PH --- then quit so I can go on that World Cruise. ??? HMMMMM

But for some reason I think that they would catch on.

[scopewest]

Would they notice if I took bribes from CC'ers for upgrades? :)

 

Just kidding, HAL!

[Kween Karen]

Hmmmm.....interesting. Nowhere does it list "prior skills with a magic wand".

You'd have a lot of new best friends. :D

I think HAL might catch on very quickly. ;)

Where's Lisa, this sounds like her.

Where's Lisa, this sounds like her.

lol Yes I saw that and I already know Polar :D

But just a bit of a commute to Seattle :eek:

But oh how I would love to work there and be the Upgrade Fairy :)

[lazey1]

I can't see a requirement that you live in Seattle. With your computer skills maybe you could work from home in LV.

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Oh I would love that but my guess is you would have to live and work at HAL Headquarters.

[Kween Karen]

I am already a "Red Hat Queen".....maybe I could be an "Upgrade Fairy" too.....I already have royal practice and I know how to use a scepter or wand to wave magic good wishes!! AND I live in the Pacific Northwest!! :)

[jena1]

Go for it:D

[ger_77]

Oh please, pick me, pick me; I'd love to be the Upgrade Fairy! As a fairy I wouldn't have to commute, I'd just wave my wand and I'd be in my office, fully clothed, hair and make-up already in place. Of course, I'd probably be trailing a little fairy dust behind me, but I'd make sure it wasn't the kind that gets stuck on furniture or other people's clothes. :o

 

What a great job, I'd love to do it . . . I'll just wait for them to call me; they have my number from our cruise bookings and Mariner profile. Sigh, this is so exciting!

 

Smooth Sailing! :):):)

[RuthC]

Oh, to be young and just starting out again. <Sigh.>

[brucory]

Go for it:D

 

Go for it Kween Karen!!!

 

BUT - Don't forget those of us who cheered you along when you wave your magic wand!!!

 

:D:D:D
