The Little Stone, the ProVideoCV ambassador, thinking about a question

Questions people ask us

Straight answers, written by a person, about this site only. If yours is not here, ask — a person replies, usually within two days.

Joining, and what it costs

What does it cost?

Nothing to join. Your page costs nothing. The first 888 people get everything free for twelve months, counted from the day they join.

I do not have a CV. Can I still join?

Yes. No CV, no diploma, no experience needed to start. You need an email address and sixty seconds.

What do you need from me?

To start, just your email. Then sixty seconds of video filmed on your own phone. We send you what to say, line by line.

How long is my free year?

Twelve months from the day you join, not from a shared date. When it ends nothing is charged and nothing disappears. Your profile and your main video stay live and free.

What happens after the 888 places are gone?

The site stays open. Joining stays free. Extra slots and extra tools get priced then, and we say so long before anything changes. Nobody who joined early loses what they have.

Your video and your privacy

Who can see my video?

You choose: public, unlisted, or visible only to businesses with an account here. You can change it whenever you like, free, on every plan.

Can I use an AI video or AI photos?

No. Real face, real voice, real work, filmed by you. That rule is in our Terms and a profile that breaks it comes down. It is the reason an employer can trust what they are watching.

Can I change or re-record my video later?

Yes, whenever you want, free. Nothing is locked.

Do you sell my details?

No. We never sell candidate data to anyone, and nothing about you is shared beyond the visibility level you chose yourself.

Can I delete my profile?

Yes. One email to contact@provideocv.com. No form, no reason needed, actioned within 72 hours and confirmed in writing.

Jobs, applying, and what we are not

Do I pay to get a job?

Never. Not to be seen, not to be ranked higher, not to be placed. We also take no fee when anyone is hired. Nobody pays us for a job.

Will you find me a job?

We are not a recruitment agency and we place nobody. What we do is make you visible to the businesses holding an account here, and hand you one link you can send anywhere yourself. What you can do today, free: record your sixty seconds and put that link on every application you send.

How do I use my profile to apply?

You get one link. Send it with any application, or paste it into the Website or Portfolio field most company forms have. The manager sees you before they read you.

Are there jobs on the site?

Yes. carries openings from Careerjet, the job search portal we are an affiliate of, refreshed daily, across cruise and hotel departments. We do not post them and we do not check them one by one, so read each one the way you read any advertisement — and nobody should ever ask you for money. Your page stays the product: send its link with every application you make.

Preparing yourself

What should I say in my sixty seconds?

Four beats, in this order. Who you are — name, and the job you do. What you have done — two places, not ten. One moment that shows how you work, not what you know. What you want next — the role and when you are free. Film it in one take, phone upright, window in front of you. Do not read it. The full method is on one page: how to record your sixty seconds. Our free Hospitality Interview Master Playbook on the resources page walks it through with examples.

How do I prepare for the interview itself?

Answer every question in four parts: the situation, what you had to do, what you did, how it ended. Worked example — “Tell me about a difficult guest.” The room was not ready at check-in and he was angry. I had to fix it before it became a complaint. I moved him to a ready room of the same category, carried his bags myself and sent coffee up. He stayed four nights and asked for me by name at check-out. Short, true, ends well. The free playbook on our resources page has eight questions worked through like this. THE 88 goes much deeper, if you want it.

Can someone check my CV?

First, three things that fix most CVs for free: put your most recent job at the top, cut anything older than ten years unless it matters, and write what you achieved rather than what you were responsible for — “ran a 14-cabin section alone during refit” beats “responsible for cleaning”. If you want a professional pair of eyes on it after that, A.D.Prodan does a personal review — it is on the resources page. You never need it to join or be seen here.

Do I need experience?

No. Show what you can do. Plenty of good hospitality people started with nothing on paper, which is exactly why this exists.

Does my English need to be perfect?

No. Speak in the language you are comfortable in. Employers want to see how you carry yourself, not a perfect accent.

Departments, hiring, and who we are

Which departments do you cover?

Guest services and front office; food and beverage service; housekeeping and accommodations; culinary and galley; entertainment, music and art; deck, technical and engineering; security and safety; labour and general roles; shoreside, marketing and admin.

I am hiring. What does it cost?
