Hi, why don´t you try Google to find out the basics and come back when you have more specific questions on yachts or yachting?

Hi,

CV= Curriculum Vitae, This is a introduction to who you are, what you have done and what you want. These are more often than not not a 100% accurate description of the person mentioned on the front pages skillset and or experience. Any claims you have for references should be able to be backed up with evidence. You can obtain one by writing it yourself based upon your own experiences/skills/qualifications and wants or you can pay a CV Service to write up your hand written notes.

IT Tech- Information Technology Technician. MCSE is a good start for boat work. You won't get this in a two week correspondence course that claims to reduce years of college to days online :-)
