What employers look forFrom the Assistant Purser guide
Captains and pursers hire people who are accurate and discreet. A degree or background in accounting, hospitality management or office administration helps, and so does solid Excel use. Former second stews with a head for numbers do well, as do hotel front-office staff with a year or two of yacht interior work behind them. Languages are useful, especially French, Spanish, Italian or Russian. A clean CV, good references and a calm manner on the phone count for more than a long list of courses.
