This boat captain resume example was professionally created for an individual that has spent his adult life on boats and yachts.
The set-up for these resumes are a little unique as it is industry practice to include a picture and information for references. These two things are not generally included on resumes from other fields.
Since it is a specialized industry, we felt it was important to include his objective to begin the resume. From there, we highlighted some exceptional experiences and qualifications that he had.
The boat captain has so much work experience, it was important that the section would not drag on too long. For that reason, the resume was separated it into two sections – At Sea Experience AND Managerial and Business Experience.
It was critical to demonstrate the candidate’s readiness to move into the highest levels of his profession. Thus, separate sections, italicized & bolded fonts, better spacing and bulleted lists were used to still give the resume a neat & clean look.
Education and Training were listed at the bottom because there was enough actual experience that is more critical for the types of jobs he is hoping to find.
