I would like the opportunity to work for you as your Personal Writer. I specialize in writing job getting resumés and cover letters. No matter how good you think your current resumé or CV is, I can make it better and in the majority of cases much better.

The element most left out of a resumé is the element of SELL. Another word for "sell" is marketing. Marketing YOU to offshore recruiters is what I will do for you. I will market (sell) why YOU are the best choice to fill the position you are applying for.

I spent most of my adult life working in the offshore oilfields of the world. If I were going back offshore, the following resumé is what I would use to get the job of my choice. The resumé I write for you will look much like the one below but with your own personal details posted. I can have a first draft in your hands within 48 hours.

Do yourself a favor. Remove the anxiety, worry and stress of trying to write your own resumé. HIRE US to take over your cover letter / resumé preparation and keeping it all up to date. As with all our services, there is an iron clad money back guarantee. If you are not happy with these services let me know and I will issue an immediate refund. Fair enough?

I would like to apply with your organization for the position of an Offshore Maintenance Foreman / Crane Operator where I can use my many years of prior oilfield experience obtain your company's goals. This experience includes expertise in:

  • Supervision / Safety / Training
  • Jack-ups / Semi-Submersibles / Drill Ships / Platforms
  • Drilling / Crane and Rigging Operations / Welding / International Towing / Diving Operations / Abandoned BOP Recovery / Offshore Demolition / Platform Installation
  • OSHA Crane Operator / Rigging Inspector Certification
  • Certified Pipe and Structural Welder / First Class Fitter
  • All Phases of Surface Preparation / Painting
  • Excellent Communication / Team Building Skills
  • Computer / Internet Competent
  • US Army Veteran - 82nd Airborne

You will find I concentrate on producing top quality work and on doing the job right the first time. I am a fast learner and do not require constant supervision to keep me working. When I am given a job to do and report it complete, you can rest assured it has been done to the best of my ability.

Should you have an opening in your organization for a person with my qualifications, or should you be anticipating one in the near future, I would very much appreciate meeting with you for a personal interview at which time we can discuss in greater detail how my experience and genuine enthusiasm for getting the job done, getting it done safe and getting it done right will benefit your company.

Sincerely,
 Ron Edwards
