What employers look forFrom the Steward / Stewardess guide
Captains and chief stews hire for attitude, presentation and stamina first. A hospitality background helps, and hotel housekeeping, fine dining, cocktail bars and private households all carry over well. A wine or barista course, silver service training or a GUEST interior certificate makes a CV stand out in a crowded market. Most hiring happens in Antibes, Palma and Fort Lauderdale in spring and autumn. Many first jobs come from dockwalking, daywork and recommendations. A clean social media presence and a neat, current photo on your CV count for more than people expect.
