Cpt Ron: Founder of OffshoreGuides.com and author of Your Pathway to High-Paying Offshore Jobs — helping hands go offshore for over four decades

I’m Captain Ron — and I didn’t learn what I’m about to share with you in a classroom. I earned it offshore.

My offshore career began under a welder’s hood and went on to operating offshore cranes. For over four decades in and around the patch on jackups, drillships, semis, and platforms—working in the Gulf, Brazil, the Ivory Coast, Norway/North Sea, the West Coast—under demanding conditions and multinational crews.

I’m not here to sell hype. I’m here to help you get hired with field-tested guidance from someone who’s lived this work, fought through the gatekeepers, and knows how the system runs today.

I’ve seen good men get passed over because their résumés didn’t speak the language of today’s digital environment or because they didn’t know how and where to apply. That’s what I fix.

How Offshore Guides Began:

At the start of my offshore career, I wrote down the hard truths I wished someone had told me and typed up my first guide to getting hired—Offshore Guides. That little manual evolved into Your Pathway To High Paying Offshore Jobs, an industry standard that has been putting men on chopper manifests ever since.

The wild part? Orders began to come in from all over the world. Not because I’m a great writer, but because the info wasn’t out there—and it’s still scarce today. I get emails every week from good, hard-working men who want offshore work but can’t find reliable guidance.

And with many of those orders came résumés — unsolicited, yet eye-opening. After reading hundreds—then thousands—of unsolicited résumés, a pattern emerged: 80–85% were mediocre at best; only 3–5% were truly apply-ready (check the current research and you’ll see the trend still holds true today.)

The book was working—guys were getting jobs from the field-tested guidance I shared. Then it hit me: if I learned to dial in their résumés, I could put even more men on the manifest.

I discovered early from others’ mistakes: for most people, writing a résumé is frustrating and exhausting—and even then, it usually falls short of the mark.

So I got good at it. I read, practiced, and learned the craft of résumé writing—résumés that get read, and résumés that get people hired. I’m not claiming titles, but I consistently improve what clients bring me—nine times out of ten, the difference is significant.

That’s how Offshore Guides grew into what you see today — not theory, but decades of field-tested truth.

Here’s my proposal — what I’ll do for you:

• A proven roadmap — from applicant to paycheck, step by step.
• Insider access — apply the right way, cut past the ATS, and land on the hiring deck instead of in the digital trash.
• Résumé fixes that work — package your experience so ATS and recruiters read it. Chapter 8 lays it out in plain working-man language.
• Up-to-date hotspots — Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Brazil, West Africa, Asia — where companies are hiring now and seats are filling.
• Free professional critique — a personal review of your résumé with clear fixes you can use immediately.
• Companion Directory — where the jobs are.

Your Next Couple of Steps

1. Get the book — Your Pathway To High Paying Offshore Jobs.
2. Send your résumé for a free professional critique.
3. Use the Companion Directory to pinpoint companies with roles you’re qualified for that are now hiring.
4. Apply with a fixed résumé — implement the critique recommendations and start sending targeted applications.
5. Prefer the fast lane? I can do a complete professional rewrite if you like.

All this for $19.95?

Before you check out, I’d like for you to meet a salty old rig hand by the name of T-Bone Boudreaux. T-Bone for short.

Every good rig story has a character who leaves their mark. For me, that’s T-Bone Boudreaux — a crusty Cajun hand I crossed paths with down around Biloxi.

T-Bone wasn’t management, wasn’t polished, and sure wasn’t the type you’d find behind a desk. But he had one thing that counted: hard-earned wisdom from years under the hook and swinging iron, running cranes offshore.

He had a way of boiling things down to the essence of the truth. No fluff, no sugar-coating — just the kind of advice you remember when the crane’s swinging and the winds are blowing and the driller’s wondering where his 30-inch bit is.

Over the years, his one-liners and hard knocks turned into what I call the Cajun Code — from T-Bone Himself. You’ll see those sidebars scattered through this web page and Your Pathway: gritty nuggets of offshore wisdom, passed down from a man who lived it.

So when you read a T-Bone sidebar, don’t brush it off. That’s not some marketing trick — that’s the voice of a generation of hands who sweated, bled, and earned their keep offshore. Consider it lan-yap — a little something extra, straight from the patch.

PS: T-Bone also gave me my golden ticket. When he found out I was itching for an offshore job, he handed me a phone number. Less than a month later, I was on my way to Aracaju, Brazil, for my first hitch.

Your Pathway is that same golden ticket — into real offshore work: high stakes, hard earned, well paid.

PS: If you’d like more information directly from me, send me an email.
No bots. No autoresponders. Just straight answers from me — Cpt Ron.
I usually reply within a couple of hours (weekends and holidays take longer).

Looking forward to working with you!
