When searching for offshore drilling and virtually any job requiring a written application, the cover letter is perhaps the most important element. This is what reads your resume ... or not. If you pack it up, you can kiss your chance for a date. Before we look at the three advanced strategies, let's look at three important basic principles for writing this document.
Basic principles
The first of these basic principles is to send more applications to work. Usually send 5 applications for work and receive a response. But send 100 well-written cover letters / resumes, and you should start to see decent results. The pursuit of a successful job hunt is the same as the pursuit of a successful war. You need both quantity and quality.
The second basic principle is to make sure your letter looks neat and professional. Yes, it is important even for work that requires manual labor, like an offshore routine or a runkhek. In addition, in order to look neat, spelling and grammar must be correct. However, you do not need to pay a professional writer to write a cover letter. Just run it through spell check and grammar in MS-Word. You can also do the same using OpenOffice (free MS-Word clone).
The third basic principle is to include the title of the task in the title of the subject of your letter. Use the same post as in advertising. Include any codes that are listed in the advertisement. It is important. If you don't tell the oil company why you send them your cover letter, they will destroy it without reading it.
The three basic principles above seem ridiculous. But too many job seekers are too torn or too lazy or just too careless to do everything right. They mostly shoot in the foot. Now go to the three best principles. Despite the fact that the following strategies do not guarantee you an interview, they will definitely raise you in the game.
Advanced Strategies
The first advanced strategy is to tell an oil drilling company why they should hire you. The easiest way to do this is to copy each point in the job list and job list, and then record your previous experience demonstrating this skill or ability.
The second advanced strategy is to show the human resource harder, which makes you more special than your rivals. Again, here’s an easy way to do this: just tick the additional skills that are relevant to the offshore drilling task, but not included in the ad. For example, related (or, at least, useful additional) skills for rostabout work include painting, scaffolding, crane operations, welding, fire fighting (like a real fireman not taught in the course), etc.
The third advanced strategy is to make an irresistible offer. It occurs in two parts. The first is to show that you can get started right away. This means that you should not now work or send your notice. This means that you must also have all relevant medical certificates, qualification certificates (for example, HUET to work on the offshore oil rig), union membership and licensing. The second part is to finish your cover letter by asking them to call you for an interview. Successful salespeople know this latest strategy very well (both parts). This is what makes them successful - the courage to make an irresistible offer and boldly close the deal.
When you are looking for a job to drill oil wells on the shelf, your cover letter will make or break your job hunt. Break the three basic principles above, and you can just stick to throwing burgers for McDonalds. But three advanced strategies are what give you a leg up on 90% of your opponents.
