I’m looking to get a job at Viking Cruises as a Travel Agent Sales Consultant. Selling cruises remotely is a dream job for me, and I’m legitimately passionate about the luxury experience Viking provides. I have 4+ years of experience in car sales and hospitality. Any advice on how I can stand out?

That sounds like a likely transition. Do some brainstorming and make notes about your experience. A theme to hit would be how your auto experience grounds you in dealing with complex and high-value purchases. And your hospitality background provides experience in customer service and retention. Highlight those themes on your resume, and incorporate them into your cover letter.

It's great that you are going after something you really want to do. It is too easy to feel like you are stuck in a job that makes you miserable. Since you are already a fan of Viking, you probably have a very good feel for their brand voice. When you are writing your resume and cover letter, make sure you match their brand voice to make it clear that you will fit in right from day one.

Lean into the hospitality angle. Sell yourself as someone who doesn’t just close — you create experiences. That fits perfectly in luxury travel sales.

I want to buy a large TV for Cyber Monday but have always been lower income. I would feel bad having family over with an expensive TV. I don't really need it. Our house is still very much low budget. I haven't made any real upgrades since getting a new job.

Is this a weird rationalization or logical? I am kind of torn so I considered just using that money for a vacation and maybe buying a TV next year... though I'll likely do this again at that time.

I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December.

But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
