What employers look forFrom the Daywork Steward / Stewardess guide
Chief stews hire dayworkers who turn up early, in neat plain clothes, with their tickets ready and a printed CV. Most daywork comes from walking the docks, crew houses and the WhatsApp and Facebook groups where boats post urgent needs. Hotel housekeeping, hospitality or nanny experience helps. A good attitude counts for more than a long CV. Chief stews notice who checks their own work, asks sensible questions and stays off their phone.
