A resume for an oilfield operator position is a necessity, which is obvious.
But how does one write a resume that leaves no room for employers to want to look at another one?
It is a challenge but it is also the only way you can actually make your mark as a viable candidate.
Since obtaining the job is your prime goal, you have to take up this challenge and make sure that you come out like a shining star.
If you have a resume lying somewhere on your laptop drive, open it and see how you can tailor it to the requirements of a prospective employer.
Even if it is the same position that you used the older resume to apply for, edit your resume to put in new information about acquired skills and experience. Use the new one instead of the one that you sent last time.
Your resume format should work along these lines:
