Question 1 of 3

Which job are you going for?

WHAT A CAPTAIN LOOKS FOR

  • GUESTS AND CREW, IN NUMBERS

    Twelve guests reads harder than "large". Guest and crew numbers go on every vessel line, so the scale of your service is never a guess.

  • SERVICE STANDARD NAMED

    Silver service, wine, mixology, floristry. A chief stew scans for skills by name, so the CV names them.

  • CHARTER OR PRIVATE

    The programme changes the job. Charter or private goes on the vessel line, with the rotation if you held one.

THE TICKETS THAT MATTER

Picked from the real ladder, dated, and set where agents look.

GUEST I, II and III, silver service, WSET wine, food safety.

What a stewardess actually needs: the certificates, the sea time and how long each one lasts.

What a captain looks for in a stewardess CV

How does a stewardess CV show the scale of the service?

Twelve guests reads harder than "large". Guest and crew numbers go on every vessel line, so the scale of your service is never a guess.

Which skills should a stewardess CV name?

Silver service, wine, mixology, floristry. A chief stew scans for skills by name, so the CV names them.

Does charter or private matter on a stewardess CV?

The programme changes the job. Charter or private goes on the vessel line, with the rotation if you held one.

Which certificates go on a stewardess CV?

GUEST I, II and III, silver service, WSET wine, food safety. List STCW Basic Safety Training first, with issue and expiry dates, then your ENG1 with its expiry, then department tickets in order of usefulness to the job you want. Interior: food safety or hygiene level 2, silver service, barista, wine and cocktail courses, floristry, beauty and massage qualifications. What certificates go on a yacht CV.

Where does hospitality work ashore go on a stewardess CV?

Land experience goes on as habits, not duties. Nobody needs the responsibilities list from your hospitality job. They need the transferable proof: early starts, service under pressure, working to a standard someone else set, being trusted with expensive things. Two lines each, past tense, concrete. The two-page rule for yacht CVs.
