Your CV is one of 200. The crew manager has 10 seconds to decide whether to read on or close it.
If it’s not clear at first glance who you are, what rank you hold, or what ships you’ve worked on, your email goes in the trash.
Not because you’re a bad specialist.
👉 But because your CV doesn’t sell you in those 10 seconds.
1️⃣ The subject line is the first thing they see.
“CV Chief Officer”? That’s a minus.
One line can decide whether they open your email or not.
2️⃣ The Introduction Letter is the second.
A short letter that “sells” your experience.
No letter? They simply won’t get to your CV.
3️⃣ The CV is the third.
If it’s not clear from the first screen:
who you are, your rank, your fleet—the manager is already reading the next email.
✔️ Bottom line:
It’s not about experience. It’s about presentation.
