About Yacht Job Handbook Part 1: Get Inspired: A Step By
Hey! I’m Baker Manning, and you’re reading the Yacht Job Handbook, a guide that jump-starts the careers of aspiring yacht crew by equipping them with the tools and resources to land their first job in the yachting industry. This book is intended to give potential crew insight about what it’s really like to work on a yacht, and information and techniques to help increase their chances of getting a job as quickly as possible, and keeping it! This guide is broken down into three parts: 1. GET INSPIRED 2. GET HIRED 3. DON’T GET FIRED PART 1: GET INSPIRED Objectives: ~Gain insight into the yachting industry, how it works, and decide whether or not it’s right for you. ~Break down each of the four entry-level yacht jobs, to decide which position is the best fit for you. ~Overview of worldwide work eligibility and requirements to help you figure out whether you are legally, physically, and mentally ABLE to work on a yacht. ~A step-by-step process for how to begin creating your strategic plan of action that will help you get hired as quickly and effortlessly as possible. PART 2: GET HIRED Objectives: ~Create a customized roadmap outlining everything you need to do to plan and execute a smooth transition with ease and efficiency ~Maximize your efficiency and make the most of your time and energy while job hunting, and networking so that you gain an edge in the competitive job market ~Gain experience in the industry, and get acquainted with various types of yachts, positions, and how to perform basic tasks and impress employers ~Learn how to prepare for an interview; the traits and skills that most yachts look for in new crew, and how to respond to the most common interview questions PART 3: DON’T GET FIRED Objectives: ~Transition seamlessly from land to sea, and mentally prepare yourself for life as a yachtie ~Gain an understanding of everyday tasks you’ll likely be doing as a newbie, and discover techniques for doing them effectively ~Avoid getting fired or making embarrassing and costly mistakes that are common amongst greenhorns ABOUT THIS GUIDE: THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR BEGINNERS WHO ARE TRYING TO LAND THEIR FIRST JOB All of the info inside is relevant to entry-level jobs, what they’re like, and how to fast track your career. It’s straightforward and to the point. I don’t want to overwhelm or confuse you with information that isn’t necessary to learn at this stage. Some of the definitions and explanations have been “dumbed down” and put into my own words to help you understand them better. EVERY BOAT IS DIFFERENT, AND EVERY ONE HAS UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES This guide is full of advice and suggestions based on experiences, observations, and research from me and other yacht industry professionals. These are general guidelines to help you gain insight and point you in the right direction, but there are many other ways to succeed in the industry that are not mentioned in this book, so I encourage you to take the helm and chart your course if you prefer. THIS IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY The yachting industry is not just about partying and drinking. It’s incredibly professional, and the work is very challenging. If you think it’s going to be like an episode of Below Deck, you’re in for a rude awakening! You are about to get a lot of proper training and techniques that will increase your chances of getting hired, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll get a job. You must take action and be proactive to succeed.
