The agreement signed by the Ministry of Labor (SET) and the Italian company Cruise Ship Catering and Services International NV for the recruitment of 900 Dominicans to work as waiters, bartenders, kitchen workers and housekeepers sent a throng of 1,000 Dominicans to file their CVs at the department yesterday. For the jobs, 8th grade schooling is required as well as for the persons (ages 20 to 28 years old) to be fluent in English. Those recruited would work on board Costa Cruises ships. The jobs promise wages of around US$800 to US$1,300 (including tips). Dominicans are sought because they are known for being good at customer service. The Dominicans would be stationed in cruise ships that sail around Europe.
