I enclose my resume for “Oil Rig / Maritime Industry Employment” opportunity.

You will note from my resume that I thrive on working within a challenging disciplined hands-on environment. I work well in a team and have always had a passion for a seagoing career and I understand that success as “entry level” within a physical and demanding industry would entirely depend on my capacity to learn and advance by instruction.

I am more than willing to undertake any maritime safety course necessary for my induction into the industry.

I understand that the industry represents a large variety of skilled and semi skilled labour and my passion for a seagoing career has prompted me to make this application as at a recent screening interview, it was noted that I could possibly fill the positions as indicated hereunder.

I thank you for your consideration.

I await your urgent reply.

Michael Olivier
