There isn’t a job you can apply to without a decent resumé, everybody has a past as employee or maybe even as a self employed individual. When you are going to apply to a job, your relevant job history, education and skills need to be listed in a
resumé which is easily viewed and read by employers or recruiters.
Especially when one desires to work offshore,
a resumé is a must to have. Since the oil and gas industry is a multi-billion dollar business, your
resumé better be a good one or employers will pass you by. There are a lot of experienced hands out there, and since you can start working offshore in pretty much any part of the world, you will need an edge to conquer others!
We at OffshoreGuides.com like to call this the
“Element of Selling Yourself”. You won’t sell a product without a classy box, manual and brand name. The same counts for getting a job, where you are the product
being sold and the employer who is buying it. You won’t find yourself easily hired without a resumé and cover letter.
- What makes one resumé better then the other?
Maybe you do have a resumé, and you think it’s got all that jazz you need to get hired, but still, nobody is banging down your door to haul you away offshore. In that case, the “Element of Selling Yourself” might be missing. It’s not just jotting down your past and present on a piece of paper, it goes beyond that, and much further then you may expect.
You might not believe it, but a
resumé isn’t just a listing of your job history. A resumé also needs a cover letter, your job history needs to be in a logical order and has to show what function you held and which responsibilities your had. Other then that, you will need to list skills, education, did you take a course, what certifications do you hold etc etc. All that, and more, also needs to be in logical order and not randomly written down.
Last but not least, you will need to understand that you may be a bit proud of your past employment, but overdoing it and looking cocky will also be a reason for a potential employer to turn you down. Understand this: Everything needs to be just right to hit the nail on the head.
