What employers look forFrom the Housekeeping / Laundry Assistant guide
Captains and chief stews hire for attitude. Hotel housekeeping, laundry or cleaning experience helps a great deal, as does a background in nannying or hospitality. They want someone tidy, careful with expensive fabrics, happy to work out of sight and easy to share a cabin with. Most green crew arrive with STCW and ENG1 done and some dockwalking in Antibes, Palma or Fort Lauderdale behind them. A tidy, well-presented CV with a clear photo still counts.
