1. Professional Résumé Critique – Direct from Cpt Ron

This ain’t some canned “Looks fine” pat on the back ripped from an AI template.
When you send me your résumé for a professional critique, that’s precisely what you get—an in-depth, line-by-line evaluation from a seasoned pro who’s been working, training, and writing job-getting résumés for offshore hands for 40-plus years.

Not the cookie-cutter fluff you see popping up all over the internet, but real, actionable feedback that shows you exactly what to fix so your résumé presents you in your best light—and gets you noticed fast.

The Professional Résumé Critique Covers These 11 Key Areas:

  1. Cover Letter – Where’s your cover letter, pardnor? Not having one is like driving around without a spare. Recruiters are 40% more likely to read a résumé with a cover letter.
  2. Job Objective – Does your résumé clearly state what you want? The specific position? Or is the boss man supposed to figure that out for himself?
  3. Format & Organization – Will it get through the scans, filters, and ATS software?
  4. Details & Balance – The right mix of proof and brevity so they know you can deliver.
  5. Length – Too long and they won’t read it. Too short, and you look green.
  6. Abbreviations – Speak the industry language without drowning the reader in code.
  7. Consistency – Dates, titles, and styles all lining up like a clean pipe rack.
  8. Language, Spelling, Grammar, & Content – Mistakes here kill chances fast.
  9. Appearance – Before they read a word, it needs to look sharp and professional.
  10. References – Don’t make ‘recruiters chase you. Have your reference right there, ready to go.
  11. Recommendations – I’ll finish with direct, no-BS steps to tighten your résumé into a job-getting tool.

NOTE: I would like to elaborate on #2: Does your résumé clearly state what you want? The specific position? It Better!

Truth is, 75–80% of offshore job seekers just like yourself send the same generic résumé/CV to every company without changing a single word. Crewing managers end up with stacks of documents where they have to guess if the hand is looking for AB, Roustabout, Entry Level, Motorman, Galley Hand — the list goes on.

Here’s the hard truth: when they’ve got a pile of 200-plus résumés and they all look the same, and yours looks just like all the rest, they're not going to spend one second trying to guess what you are applying for — they’ll move straight to the one that makes it crystal clear.

And whatever you do, NEVER put phrases like “I’ll do Anything” or “Applying for what’s Available” in your résumé. That screams desperation and no direction. If you can’t find a specific title that matches your qualifications, then write “Entry Level” and own it. At least it tells them where to start with you.


This critique alone can be the difference between
“We’ll keep your résumé on file” or “When can you start?”


T-Bone’s Truth: “A weak résumé is like showin’ up for a welding test
without your hood. It ain’t gonna happen!.”
