What employers look forFrom the Second Steward / Second Stewardess guide
Captains and chief stews hire second stews who have two or more seasons behind them, usually including one as third stew on a yacht of similar size. They want clean references, decent time in each job, solid silver service, good wine knowledge and proof that you can train people without falling out with them. WSET Level 2, a barista course or GUEST Interior modules will help you get shortlisted. Charter seasons in the Med and the Caribbean count for a lot, because they show you can keep standards up through back-to-back trips.
