Polish Your Portfolio: How Elite Private Staff Can Land Dream Roles This Summer (June 2025 Guide)

Tips for Job Seekers Published on 23/06/2025

🌞 Summer Surge: Why June 2025 is Prime Hiring Season for UHNW Households


With summer in full swing, ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families are rapidly expanding their private staff for seasonal travel, estate management, and hospitality support. Whether you're a seasoned butler, house manager, private chef, nanny, or estate housekeeper, now is the time to step up your game and secure your next elite placement.




📌 Resume Polish: Let Your Experience Shine


• Tailor it: Align your resume with the exact needs of UHNW households—highlight discretion, longevity in roles, and service excellence.


• Quantify impact: “Managed 12,000 sq. ft. estate with staff of 8” is more impressive than vague responsibilities.


• Certifications: Feature recent trainings—Silver Service, CPO, culinary degrees, etc.—especially if completed this year.


🎤 Interview Smart: Prep for Personality + Precision


• Values first: Expect questions around discretion, initiative, and loyalty. These are core to UHNW staffing.


• Etiquette matters: Interviews might be via video or on-location at a luxury estate. Dress and speak accordingly.


• Share stories: Prepare examples of how you handled high-pressure, high-protocol scenarios successfully.


📁 Portfolio Power: Visuals Speak Louder Than Words


• Make it visual: Include tasteful photos of settings, wardrobes, or menus you’ve created (only with permission).


• Show testimonials: Add short quotes or letters from previous principals or household managers.


• Keep it private but polished: Host your portfolio online and share a private, secure link when applying.




🔥 Pro Tip for June 2025:


High-net-worth families are preparing for European travel and estate transitions. Highlight your multilingual skills, international experience, and travel-readiness—this gives you an immediate edge.
