What employers look forFrom the Host / Hostess guide
Captains and chief stews look for polish and good judgement. The usual backgrounds are five-star hotel front desk, private members' clubs, first-class cabin crew and senior stewardesses with strong service skills. A second or third language helps a great deal. French, Italian, Russian, Arabic or Mandarin can all be useful, depending on the owner and the charter market. Wine knowledge and a calm manner under pressure count for more than a flashy CV. You still need STCW Basic Safety and an ENG1 like any other crew member.

QuestionsSee what a Host / Hostess earns
What tickets should a Host / Hostess CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training and ENG1 medical certificate first, each with the date it was issued. Then add GUEST Interior Steward course and WSET Level 2 Award in Wines if you hold them.
How long should a Host / Hostess 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.
