How will you make your yacht crew agency profile stand out from the rest?

This video should be watched by every young person looking to enter any industry - it applies to any CV, any interview, and any personnel platform (LinkedIn included). Excellent content.

Thanks Mathew. This has given me a great perspective on how to organise my crew agency portfolio. Really like you’re videos, keep it up. You keep my excitement for the yachting industry alive 💪🏻

Hi Matt, I’m a 18 years old student from Italy. I’ve always been an “outdoor” tipe of guy, I’ve done sailing, I’m a competitive swimmer, lifesaver, and I love being in the sea with all types of craft (paddle board, sup etc). Now I’m studying at my local university, but recently my life seems to be just not enough for me. The idea of being stuck for five years studying law doesn’t appeal me at all... I’ve stumbled across your videos and it was like an epiphany. I fell in love with the work of a deckhand, not just because of the small moments you can appreciate, but because of the hard work you need to put in to get the job done. My work ethic, as a competitive swimmer, is well developed, and I’ve always loved to do stuff. I remember working months with my dad to fix up the yard just because I had in mind an epic party. I literally watched all your videos and every one of them was great. Coming to the point of the comment, I would love to start a career in yachting. I’m willing to do the courses, and to get some transferable skills by working in a car’s detailer. In addition to my experience in swimming, life guarding, sailing and doing water sports in general I would then add some handy skills like polishing, waxing, painting, varnishing etc.. At the moment I’m a little bit unsure about the precariousness of this job, especially with the pandemic, and my family doesn’t help me at all... Dock walking from April in Palma would be nice to start? Thank you so much!!

I was applying right now, when your video pop! Always great advices)

On a roll with the uploads! Looking forward to this one!

As far as I can see, you have the best educational videos about yachting. Keep up the good work!

Practical and comprehensive guidance on how to market yourself - keep up the good work!

Thanks for this one! This is exactly what I was looking for. This is going to help a lot.

I predict 100k subscribers by the end of 2021, absolutely phenomenal and very thoughtful content!

You are giving free and solid advice to all the guys waiting to be in the industry. I wish I had this knowledge many many years ago before I got started in the banking world. Now doing my own private certification with the goal the own my own yacht. Different path same goal :-)

Great advice and helpful information! Thanks

This video is full of gems 💎💎💎 Thank you for your knowledge & experience to help others achieve their goals

Really fantastic advice, Matthew! You seem to have a great ability to do everything to the best of your abilities.

Great video again! Thanks

Hi Matt, Thank you for this video, I recently created a few profiles and whilst I had managed to get my photo the correct orientation, this video did give me some great ideas and sent me back to 'Edit your profile' and more importantly the 'preview profile'. I hope to get a call from you soon, although I guess I will settle for any potential caller with a job offer. Thanks again and for all the great content you are producing.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌i love it !!! thank you

This is really good and useful information.

Your videos are really a 🎁. Has shared them to several people who wants to enter the yachting industry and they've watched them all. How can we vote for you, to be in the Crew awards? Thanks for all the time, dedication and effort in making the videos👏

really informative, great video Matt 😄

Hahahaha my man i almost died at 6:42 when you asked what is wrong with photos 🤣🤣🤣

This is a well-explained presentation on how to actually get noticed in the new-job market. I've been on both sides of the table stacked with CVs and know the dance well. The new folk just having been educate with a few simple but important facts. The CV is perceived as the absolute best work that you can do. If it's sloppy, then the standard response is to presume that you can't do better. Round-filed! In the CV, you are trying to get them to hire you. It's not a way for you to explain your dream job. Write it to be read by your boss, and his/her's and make them understand how you can do the work they need done, and do it better than the competition. This is why they would hire you, not because they feel sorry for someone who hasn't seen all the world yet.

I am a Tech recruiter so I should know a little about recruiyment. My comliment for this video and the contents Mathew.

You're amazing!

Great tips Matt! God bless

Thnk you!! I really wanted to work on a superyacht. Maybe soon. Im from Philippines 🤗

Hi Matt, finally, I was worried yesterday when your video didn't come out. I was looking for it all day and I finally had to go to sleep. This morning still nothing I started to worry about you wondering if something bad had happened. Well I'm glad to see that all is good. Thoroughly enjoyed your video, and your right there is a collation between what people say and there presentation. You can't say you are a bubbly person and not have a smile on your face, this is a contradiction. As David Geer said "As far as I can see, you have the best educational videos about yachting. Keep up the good work! " Your cross examples between your channel and a persons CV is wright on the money. You have a knack for explaining things in a simple understanding manner. Your viewer comes out of it by saying something like, this is just common sense.

Fantastic Video

If you want to be hired in the yacht industry you must be confident and compete with others, be the best. I learn a lot of new things from you.

If you ever get tired of working on the seas, you could have a killer career teaching seminars about job search skills and resume preparation.

Hi Matt, I've been watching your videos recently and find them excellent. Very informative, and you don't leave anything out, fair play to you! I've just recently gained my OOW unlimited, and I am moving to Antibes soon to look for my first job. I'm just wondering, what is the general attitude towards people like me who come from the Merch with an unlimited ticket? Is it something that will make it easier to get a job? I get that I don't have Yacht exp, but I'm not exactly green either.

Great piece of work, really good advice, if only I was 50 years younger.

Worth mentioning that as a candidate your social media accounts will be reviewed. If your social media accounts portray a wild party animal or extreme political commentary they can very much shut down the process. When reviewing a candidate that had "no drama person" in their CV, but their facebook page appeared that they wanted to "burn down their country", it was a deal breaker. Another had non-drinker in their CV, but their social media told a very different story, enough to wave off. Just a thought. Thanks for your videos.

Great! 👍

How are you enjoying your new camera equipment? Great video as usual.

Exactly in time when I want to start applying, you gave me some ideas how to get attention.. it will be little risky but let the fishing begin! Compared to rotational video - you not only need to be named as Matthew, you need to look like him as well :)

Question: what if you don't have any experience at all? I never worked on a yacht before but I want to apply. And what do I need to apply

Hii sir I'm 3rd officer sailing on tanker ship. But I would really love to sail on yacht, can I get job in yacht? How to apply?

If I were to go to a maritime school as a marine transportation major and graduate with approximately 8 months of sailing experience on a large vessel, would I still need to first be a deck hand and move up that way or would I be eligible to become a 3rd officer right after school?

Sir,I already had an account at yotspot..hoping for a call and interview to pass..Thank You for such a good advise.

Hello dear, Do you think it's a better choice just to go dock walking and not bother with applying online If you already have the chance? I would prefer to talk in person.

Thanks for sharing, Can I still apply in 2023?

Would you say there is a large benefit in staying in a crew house over day Airbnb when in search for position of work as a greenie

Can i work there just graduated from high school ?

Hello sir..! Are indian candidates eligible to be freshly onboard??
