What employers look forFrom the Housekeeping Steward / Stewardess guide
Captains and chief stews hire people who are careful, quick and discreet. Hotel housekeeping, private household or five-star turndown experience counts for a lot, and so does a season as a junior stew. Many housekeeping crew start out on smaller yachts doing a bit of everything, then move to the role on a big yacht to specialise. Other crew agents and I look for steady references, a tidy CV and real knowledge of products and fabrics.
