Superyacht Crew Recruitment During COVID 19 - Expert Advice

Описание: To get the latest information and advice as to what is happening in the world of superyacht recruitment, we spoke to Lisa at YPI Crew who run our graduate recruitment day in Antibes.

Here is her advise:

Research
As Lisa suggests there is lots of content out there to read, watch, and listen to just to give you an overview of the industry and what life is like onboard. Jarad Watney a Deckhand who has documented his career in the Superyacht industry is well worth a watch and I would recommend subscribing to his channel.

Learn a new skill
While we are in lockdown it is the perfect time to learn a new skill, whether a new language or learning how to fold towels or how to fly a drone. Working on personal development will show that you are self motivated and keen to learn.

Find work on social media
There are many Facebook groups that you can follow that provide information on the Superyacht industry, search “Superyacht crew” on Facebook and it brings up a lot of groups. A lot of jobs are posted on Facebook so it is well work following some of the bigger groups.

Work on your CV
“Your CV is everything” is a phrase that a Captain said to me and whilst you have some time at home, you can start to work on your yachting CV. Your yachting CV is structured differently to a “normal” industry CV.

If you have not written a CV in a while then help is at hand. Check out our page on writing a Yachting CV. - https://www.flyingfishonline.com/usef...
