Bonus #1: Professional Résumé Critique

The problem isn’t you. It’s the system. The game has changed, and if you don’t know how it’s played today, you’ll stay invisible no matter how hard you hustle.

That’s why I wrote Your Pathway to High Paying Offshore Jobs — the most straight-shooting publication of its kind on the market.

Before you click out of here because you don’t see how a “book” is gonna get you a job, hear me out:

• You’re getting two powerful extras that can fast-track your job hunt and keep you out of the no-callback pile.
• Each bonus is easily worth 10× the $20 book — see for yourself.
• Both are built to do one thing — get your foot in the door faster.

Around here, we call that lagniappe (pronounced lan-yap) — Cajun for “a little something extra.”

You’ll find it all through the Offshore Guides program: quick insights, insider leads, and tips that make a real difference once you start applying.

Before you send another résumé, let’s ensure it can actually get you hired.

Here’s a hard fact: Roughly 75% of résumés never make it past the ATS gatekeeper. Let’s fix that.

Most people work better than they write — and this probably includes you…

That’s not an insult. It’s just reality. You might be one hell of a hand on deck, in the shop, or behind the controls — but if your résumé doesn’t show that clearly and in the right language, companies will never know it.

The Real Problem Isn’t the Résumé Itself:

It’s the mistaken belief that their résumé is working. They think it’s “fine, okay as is,” maybe even “exceptional.” They believe this because it looks fine — their wife said it looks fine, their buddy said it looks fine, and they might’ve even paid someone a good amount of money to make it look fine.

In their mind, it has to be fine. They don’t realize they’re operating in a fog — trusting a document that can’t cut through today’s filters. They think effort equals effectiveness. But good intentions don’t pass ATS. Clarity does.

It’s not about how it looks. It’s about how it performs. You can have a résumé that shines like a new paint job, but if it can’t get through the system and talk the language hiring managers listen to, it’s dead in the water.

Once you see the truth — that your résumé isn’t speaking the same language the hiring system listens for — the fog lifts. And that’s when callbacks start happening.

Here’s the truth test: How many callbacks are you getting?

ATS rejects 75% of résumés because they’re generic, misaligned with the job ad, or formatted incorrectly. Good hands get buried.

I’m not some shyster out to hustle money off the internet. I’ve been around this industry long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.

I charge for my services because I don’t work for free — any more than you do.

When it comes to offshore oil and maritime résumés, this is my lane, with forty years of reviewing and writing résumés that get people hired.

From welders to crane operators, from roustabouts to OIMs, deckhands to captains, and everything in between — I’ve seen what separates the ones who get the call from the ones who get silence.

Here’s What I Look At (Fast, No Fluff):

• ATS file type and layout — making sure the system can actually read it.
• Keyword alignment — job titles, rig types, certs, and skills matched to the roles you’re chasing.
• Focused job objective — specific, role-based, not generic filler.
• Offshore proof points — jack-ups, drillships, semi-subs, safety culture, sea time, and rotation details shown the right way.
• Safety and compliance language — JSA, LOTO, PPE, Stop-Work, and permit systems highlighted clearly.
• Red-flag scan — date gaps, job hopping, or weak language that kills callbacks.

When I’m done, you’ll know exactly what’s holding it back — and what’ll get you moving.

And right now, getting a professional opinion on your résumé is — in my opinion — the smartest move you can make. You get this FREE when you purchase Your Pathway.

T-Bone’s Truth: Get That Critique, Podnah

That critique? That’s like your buddy checkin’ your harness before you swing out. You think it’s good, but one missed buckle and you’re fallin’ hard.

Same with résumés — one bad layout, one hint of generic fluff, one cert hidin’ in the wrong corner, and ATS tosses you like a frayed sling over the rail.

A critique puts eyes on it from somebody who knows the ropes. Tightens it up so when you hit send, you’re not just hopin’ — you’re confident.
