Vicente. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate.

I have a few more... Hope not to bother you.

...Ship-Broker. As manager of the tanker “Estrella del Alba” I was in charge of providing the materials and crew needed to keep the boat seaworthy and in optimal operational status.
This company founded by my father in 1973 dedicated to the provision fuel and lubricants exclusively for the shipping industry, with storage plants of 2000m3 marine diesel oil in Port Madryn and Port Deseado. In addition, it distributes by barge in the ports of Bahía Blanca Rosario, San Antonio and Ushuaia.
In this activity I acquired the skills required for the management of resources and personnel necessary for any successful business.

(the resume will start with a Cover letter as following...)

...I decided to redirect my career by the stimulus of the possibility of working on a cruise line highly regarded, in addition to the challenge of joining a team of highly qualified people.
Moreover, I hope to apply all the knowledge acquired in my personal and professional training, who have provided me with experience in both tourism and the shipping industry.

I run 10 kilometers a day eating and sleeping properly to lead a healthy lifestyle and keeping me always fit.
Finally, to remark that I come from an educated family where I learned sacrifice, determination and discipline primarily with time and money and where education and neatness are indispensable virtues.

..this work allowed me to learn, from the inside, the functioning of what I have experienced so many years as a guest in hotels all over the world where I mainly learned that customer satisfaction is getting more than you expected. (or...getting better service than you expected.)
