Q:Hi I am 22 years old and am applying for a two year Work/holiday visa next year. In the second year (holiday) I am keen to work on cruise ships as a photographer. I am an amateur photographer and am very keen on it. I see it as a great way to improve my skill as well as travel abroad. Is this possible? If so which are the right channels to go through? I appreciate any help you can offer.

A:There are positions available on cruise ships for photographers. The key is to have experience and a decent portfolio when submitting information to the people responsible for hiring or placing you. Again please make sure you are in touch with legitimate companies that are doing the placement. It could be beneficial to contact the Cruise Ship directly as well.

Mike X (a real person) earned R6.5 million in sales commissions in 2005 selling top end computer software. These spectacular earnings were based on hard work, a touch of luck here and there but, most important of all, unbelievable talent. To understand why the Mikes of this world have become so important, and so well paid, we need to understand how the world of selling has changed. Back in the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and even part of the 80’s, selling was a relatively easy and carefree business.
