Short answer

An offshore CV is a two to three page, single-column document that leads with your tickets and medical validity, then lists installations by name with operator and rotation. It has to parse cleanly in an applicant tracking system, because North Sea agencies screen on keywords before a human opens the file. Get that structure wrong and a fully qualified hand gets filtered out by a piece of software.

Offshore CV questions

What is an offshore CV and how is it different?

An offshore CV is a two to three page, single-column document built around tickets, installations and rotation rather than a normal onshore career story. Agencies filter on BOSIET, MIST, OGUK medical validity, rig or vessel names, operator names and your rotation pattern. If those are not in the top third of page one, the CV gets scored down before a human reads it.

How long should an offshore CV be?

Two pages for entry level and trades, three for supervisory and management. Anything longer and recruiters stop reading; anything shorter and you have left out installation history the ATS is looking for.

Do offshore CVs need to be ATS friendly?

Yes. Almost every North Sea agency runs candidates through an applicant tracking system first. Tables, text boxes, columns, headers, footers and graphics either scramble or drop out entirely, which is why a visually smart CV often scores worse than a plain one.

How much does offshore CV writing cost?

Our packages start at £25 for a DIY ATS review and go up to full rewrite packages with cover letter and LinkedIn. You do not pay until your CV is written and you have seen it.

How long does it take?

48 hours from the point we have your details and existing CV. Revisions are included until you are happy with it.
