Don't learn these
facts the hard way:
You
could very well be the most qualified person for the job, with
the best work record, highest education, the most talent and
the sharpest problem solving skills. No doubt
you are determined in your resolve to earn your pay and do a
good job. To get hired, you have to do one thing;
convince a
recruiter to call you in above all others.
What is your game plan to make this happen?
- Your
years of experience?
- Your
education?
- Your
charm and personality?
- Your loyalty?
Dedication?
- The worst
resumés we've seen came from people with years of education.
- People
with tons of valuable work experience get bogged down in
the technical aspects of their jobs. They tend to ramble on and never
answer the 2 questions all employers want to know from the
start: "What can you do for me and why should I hire
you?"
- Some
of you will not even get your foot in the door because you
come across as being timid, shy and not having confidence
in yourself or you present yourself
as the complete opposite - a know it all.
- More
than likely you are qualified, experienced, highly competent, intelligent,
quite capable and enthusiastic about getting the most demanding
of jobs done. All you need is the right direction to go in
and a chance to prove your self...
It's a known fact that most
people do not possess good writing skills so don't feel alone.
More likely than not this includes you. Regardless of your education,
experience, personal background, dedication, how organized you
are, how hard you work or what a great person you are, the odds
are stacked against you when it comes to
SELLING
yourself using
the written word and the internet.
AND THAT'S
NOT ALL...
There are
two tasks which much be successfully accomplished here. Slack
in either will shut you down.
- What
you write
- How you
send it
We have
already discussed the fact that most people do not possess good
writing skills. That is one part of the problem. The other is
delivery.
How do you
know what you send is even being opened? How much of a shocker
would it be for you to discover the dozens or even hundreds
of resumés or CV's you spent numerous hours and
$$ to send out never got opened?
TWO THINGS
TO CHECK...
Once you
are sure your resumé is a winner in the written
part the next hurdle you will face is how you
send it out. The online electronic delivery process can cause
a great deal of grief to the unwary
job seeker.
The spam / virus threat is a real and present danger
to any business using the internet. Because of this, many companies
have standing policies not to open attachments (which is what
most job seekers use) under any conditions.
It very
well could be the resumé or CV you have faithfully been
sending out might not be getting the exposure you think it is
getting. Not all computers are the same and not all software
works the same.
Two major concerns which could prevent your resumé
from being read are the attachment filters and opening problems.
Here are
letters from surprised offshore / maritime job seekers who found
out the hard way why they were not getting any job offers:
Ron,
I
sincerely appreciate you reviewing my resumé
and letting me know about the
problem opening it. That
would explain why I have not had any contact with offshore
employers in the last two months.

Captain
Ron,
My husband has been looking for offshore employment
for the past 10 months. At every chance we got
we sent out applications with the resumé as a
word doc attachment. We very rarely got a reply. You
can imagine our amazement when you told us the attachment
did not open! Most of the resumés we sent out,
100 plus of them, were sent to the recycle bin
and we did not even know it!
We now use your
online resumé and yes we have had replies,
not robot mail, but actual job offers! Thank
you Ron for all your help. Your online resumé
really works, and it is nice to know they open every
time all the time and don't end up in the trash.
Well
it has finally happened. Paul got a job as a Driller
in Oman with Nabors. Yes we sent them your web resumé a few months ago. They rang in January and
offered him driller's position and he flew out there
last week.

Don't
let this happen to you!
These days it
is tougher than ever to get an offshore oil job,
which is exactly why this is so important
-
If you have prior experience, there is no reason for you
not to be working at the job of your choice and in the salary
range you want.
-
For you new starts with no previous experience
- the jobs are out there. If you are not working it is not due
to a lack of jobs.
I do hope I have
opened your eyes as to what a great advantage of using a
professionally written web resumé will provide. If
you are not happy with the number of job offers you are getting from your
job search, STOP what you are doing let us
have
a look at your resumé before any more damage is done. It does no good to kick a dead
horse.
Warning:
Beware of any web site that offers a
FREE professional
online web
resumé or you could spend money and lots of time sending something
out that
looks like
this or
this! There is no web site or software program
ANYWHERE
that will write a better resumé for you
than a real
person.
Creating
a winning resumé involves more than going to Office Depot,
Office Max, etc., or some online website and buying resumé
building software. Resumés
are not built, resumés are written. For best results they
need to be written by a person. Nothing
will out perform a professionally resumé written specifically for you by
a real human person.
Employers
give higher ratings to applicants who use professionally written
resumés!

Web Resumés Get the Best Results!

Hello
Ron,
I
was so exited when I received my first draft, I thought
I would send it out to a few companies and see what
happened. Today I got a call from Transocean. They want
me to come in for an interview.
Thanks again for your help,
Justin Harrison
Houston, TX
Greetings Capt'n.,
How are you doing good I hope? Your resumé did
the trick!

They want me in Houston as soon as I can get there.
Got any pointers for the Interview?
