What employers look forFrom the Florist guide
Most hires come from one of two routes. Some are trained florists from high-end shops, hotels or event companies who take STCW and ENG1 and join directly. Others are experienced stewardesses who have added a floristry qualification and a strong portfolio. Captains and chief stews want to see photographs of your work, especially large installations. They also want proof that you can handle service and housekeeping. If you can only do flowers, you are hard to place outside the biggest yachts.

QuestionsSee what a Florist earns
What tickets should a Florist CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training and ENG1 medical certificate first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Floristry qualification and PDSD (Proficiency in Designated Security Duties) if you hold them.
How long should a Florist CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
