Rookie ROV/ Global ROV course

Have a read through the How To Layout Your CV FAQ http://www.rovworld.com/faq-14-How+to+layout+your+CV%21.html

It reads as if you have padded it out line by line to make it look more impressive than it is. But Having a City & Guilds 2 in "Working with others" and "improving own learning and performance" is not that impressive sounding.

The first page just doesn’t read right, are these actually the titles of C&G Level 3 courses, or are these armed forces equivalents?

Does your BOISET and Medical cover Denmark and Norway (is it full pan European, or just UK)?

Its a Seaeye Falcon not a SEA Eye.

No-one cares you work out or do snow boarding.

No mention of any electrical/electronic qualifications or experience. 80% of ROV repair and maintenance is electrical/electronic.

Normally I would have deleted the CV off when it was posted – people should never post their CV on open sites, mainly because 1) it has all your personal info, address, phone number, date of birth, this leave you open to identity fraud; and 2) it is not unknown in this business to make CVs up by taking job details from other peoples CVs and making it their own – not any danger in yours as you don’t have any!

It may sound harsh, but you are up against hundreds (or as in one case 1000 people applying for 8 positions) of others with better qualifications and experience.

Also I would not limit your search to ROVs, there are many other jobs offshore (most are also better paid) such as Subsea Engineer which may suit your experience better.

Im sure the many ex Forces people on here will also be able to give advice given their experiences.

Have you considered/did you not apply to Global Marine themselves??. They have (or used to) system techs covering the cable side of things as well as plough/ROV. Longish trips but used to be good vessels and properly worldwide. Might be a slighly easier entry and would give you relevant experience.
