// Walkthrough
Junior stewardess CVs are read quickly and often late — typically by a chief stew on a phone between turnarounds. The structure exists so the page lands in the first paragraph.
The page leads with full name and the standard role — "Junior Stewardess" or simply "Stewardess" — followed by nationality and current location. A profile of two or three sentences sets out service mindset, composure under pressure, languages, and the type of interior you are suited to. Avoid generic phrasing; the chief stew reads this as a sample of how you would write to a guest.
Sea service runs one row per contract: vessel name, type (M/Y or S/Y), size, flag, role, and dates, with programme type (charter or private) noted alongside. Certificates follow: STCW Basic Safety, ENG1, Food Safety Level 2 or 3, PDSD, and GUEST Programme silver-service modules. Every line carries an expiry date — agencies filter on validity.
Skills should be specific to what you can do on a watch — silver service, laundry rotation, housekeeping basics, glassware, flower arrangement, table setting. Languages are listed in real terms (native English, B2 French, conversational Spanish), not as bars or percentages. References, two to four, come from chief stews or pursers, with permission and a briefing before the call.
A clean headshot in interior uniform or neat civilian dress, hair tied back. Phone, date of birth, and reference contacts stay off the public CV by default.
// What captains scan for
- "Polished but approachable" reads better than "exceptional attention to detail". Show, do not tell.
- A chief stew goes to references and languages first. Both should be easy to find.
- Hotel and fine-dining background helps, but yacht-specific STCW and GUEST certificates carry more weight on the page.
- Daywork counts. Two weeks across three boats in Antibes is sea time and should be listed.
- Skip the "I do not get seasick" line unless tested in heavy weather. Captains assume you are fine until proven otherwise.
- Cut the filler. "People person", "loves to travel", "passionate about service" — chief stews scan past them. STCW, GUEST modules, hospitality background, and languages held are what they trust.
