CAREER OBJECTIVE
Working on a private yacht, the Sophie Blue for quite some time now I have extensive experience
into the field of stewardess. This along with a background in hospitality and journalism and having
extensive experience in human relations, I will be the ideal candidate to work on any yacht that is
professionally run. I have recently completed my Maritime Training and I feel strongly about now
following a career in which I can combine all my skills with my outgoing nature. I am excited about
pursuing a career as a stewardess on board private or charter yachts to fuel my avid love for
travel and curiosity to experience more in life.
QUALITIES
I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds. I am an exceptionally dedicated person
and work extremely well with people of all cultures and backgrounds. I am very hard working and
have a great sense of humour and can be relied on to lighten the mood yet remain focused and
dedicated. I am professional, competent and use my initiative. I can adapt easily to different
situations and my skills vary from PR to extensive computer skills. It is of great importance to me
to attend to every assignment as professionally possibly, and neatly and timely. I am good
adaptable and can easily function with different people. My attitude towards others is friendly and
professional and I have no problem in communicating with others.
