Looking for a Steward(ess), Stew/Beautician, Cook/Stew or Diver position
Good day,
I would like to work on your boat.
I am green to the yachting industry, but have extensive skills that I can bring to the table and I am so eager to learn and grow in this industry. I would appreciate it so much if you could keep me in consideration for a job vacancy on your boat.
I am a 29-year-old, female, South African, fluent in English and Afrikaans (conversational in Dutch).
Even though I am green to the yachting industry, I am a very quick study and an extremely hard worker and I feel that my willingness to learn makes me an ideal candidate to mould into the best employee your boat requires.
I am very energetic and motivated, active and love the outdoors. I enjoy working with people and I am a very easy going, no hassle person (I love a good laugh). I fit in well with any crowd and adjustable to any situation.
I have a degree in Food Science & Technology and worked in the food industry for 5 years as product developer (a lot of cooking) and sensory analyst (a lot of tasting). During my studies I worked on wine farms, where I gained extensive knowledge on wines and the service thereof. I have always enjoyed making and creating new drinks and cocktails, and when I discovered that the yachting industry is my future I started working on an extensive cocktail list with easy accessible recipes on a user friendly PowerPoint program which gives you and the clientele a visual and some ideas as to the “I am not sure what I want”/ or “Surprise me”.
I have 4 years’ experience in the beauty industry, working as salon assistant where I gained confidence in massage and gel nail applications (manicures and pedicures). I am in the process of completing my yoga instructors course.
If there are any other skills that you have found that is perhaps lacking or could be a valuable asset to the boat, I am more than willing to commit any free time to find and do courses to increase the value I can bring to the boat.
I have impeccable organizing skills and am great at developing smooth operating systems programs which is my current part time job, helping out at the family owned business. I set up smooth running programs (mostly Excel as to not cost a fortune), which eases the process of ordering and tracking of raw materials, packaging and final products.
I have completed my Maritime Qualifications (exp 2025) and Stewardess (Interior, Food Service, Wines, Bartending and Mixology) courses in March 2020. I have my ENG1 (no limitations) which is valid until March 2022 and completed Food Hygiene L2 (valid until March 2022).
Given my age, I feel I have gained experience in housekeeping and laundry. With my background in Food Science I believe my service skills and food handling gives me some edge. But even so, I have added to that a Stewardess course just to get into the finer details of said duties and service to give a flawless presentation. I look forward to learning your boats' preferences and skills.
Thanks in advance for the opportunity to send my curriculum vitae to you. I do hope to hear from you soon.
Have a great day.
