So much time wasted in applying for jobs. Now you're second guessing yourself and your experience? Should I do another course to add to my CV?
You know you've got what it takes but don't understand how to add transferable skills from your land based jobs and day work. So it's just a big blob of blank space.
Generic content. You've written "Attention to detail" + "Customer Service" on your CV however you have no idea how to back these up with examples relative to yachting.
