5 Tips to Help You Find Your Dream Job!

Posted October 12, 2023 by Ashleigh King

Unlock the path to your dream job with these five essential tips. From staying connected with us to keeping your CV up-to-date and understanding the close-knit nature of the yachting industry, our expert advice will guide you towards success.

1. Stay in Touch with Us: With thousands of crew checking in with us each week, it’s important we know where you are and how to get hold of you. You can check in online or drop us an email, whatever is easiest for you.

2. Ensure Your CV is Updated: It’s more productive to search for employment with an up-to-date CV that reflects your current qualifications and experiences. Make sure your CV includes a recent photograph, and please don’t assume we know where you are either – always make sure the relevant country code is included with your mobile number.

3. The Yachting Industry Is a Very Small Industry: You never know where, when or how you’ll find work. Opportunities can arise unexpectedly, so it’s important to maintain a positive and professional reputation at all times.

4. Make a Plan: Effective planning is key to success. Research and gather information before embarking on your job search. Avoid futile endeavors, such as seeking work in Antibes in December without proper preparation or attempting to work in the United States without the necessary visa. Utilize available resources, including yachting groups on social media, and don’t hesitate to seek advice when needed.

5. Don’t Be a Keyboard Warrior: Yes, we appreciate all the hundreds of agencies there are out there and that looking for a job can be a full-time job in itself but don’t get bogged down on the computer. Select two or three agencies to work with, introduce yourself personally to them and then get out and network! You are looking for work in some of the most beautiful parts of the world and will get to see some of the most impressive yachts ever built; don’t lose sight of why you are here.
