CV Template

Here are some other main pointers to think about when designing your CV:

• A clear image – You need to be clean and tidy, hair away from your face and a friendly disposition.
• Up to date details – this is incredibly important. Current location, number or WhatsApp and a professional email address. This is a good place to include languages spoken and visas.
• A concise but thorough profile or objective, detailing your background, experience and future goals. This is your chance to sell yourself.
• Make sure you add detail to your positions, not only your role onboard but your responsibilities, really highlight what you can do as there could be a skill that would mean you match perfectly to a position. Also include cruising areas, charter/private, guest and crew size. Even the yacht size and build can be helpful.
• References. These are key for us to follow up to bolster your application. There’s nothing better than a positive reference paired with a good CV.

What not to do:

• Image – no suits, no sunglasses, no hats!
• Information – No need for a full address. Keep everything as relevant as possible.
• Design – Keep it fairly simple, boats can't always print off big blocks of colour. Keep the graphics minimal.
