Profile/Career Objective

Eg.Stewardess Having worked in management roles, and worked in the hospitality industry, covering positions such as hostess, waitress & bar tender, I have a great understanding of the level of service one expects in high- end establishments and the demanding nature of such an industry. I would now like to combine my love for travel and hospitality and pursue a career within the yachting industry as a stewardess on board a private or charter yacht. I am available immediately and will work worldwide.

Eg,Deckhand I am currently seeking a permanent Deckhand position onboard a busy Private or Charter Motor Yacht. I have a great deal of experience in management roles and therefore have great organizational skills. I am incredibly hard working, easy going and work very well in a team. My fitness level and strength are both excellent and I can cope with any task at hand. I do every job to the best of my ability, often going beyond the call of duty and I believe I would be an asset to any boat as a professional crew member. I am available immediately and will work worldwide.
