How to write a captain resume

Craft a resume summary statement

A resume summary is your opening statement that highlights your strongest skills and top accomplishments. It is your chance to quickly let recruiters know who you are professionally - and why they should hire you for the captain role.

Step 1: Mention your current job title or the role you're pursuing.

Step 2: Include your years of experience in captain-related roles. Consider adding relevant company and industry experience as relevant to the job listing.

Step 3: Highlight your greatest accomplishments. Here is your chance to make sure your biggest wins aren't buried in your resume.

Step 4: Again, keep it short. Your goal is to summarize your experience and highlight your accomplishments, not write a paragraph.

These four steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some captain interviews.

Hi, I'm Zippi, your job search robot. Let me write a first draft of your summary statement.

Zippi waving

List the right project manager skills

Your Skills section is an easy way to let recruiters know you have the skills to do the job. Just as importantly, it can help your resume not get filtered out by hiring software. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

  1. You often need to include the exact keywords from the job description in your resume. Look at the job listing and consider which of the listed skills you have experience with, along with related skills.
  2. Include as many relevant hard skills and soft skills as possible from the listing.
  3. Use the most up to date and accurate terms. Don't forget to be specific.
These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some captain interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a captain resume:

  • Customer Service
  • Safety Standards
  • Food Preparation
  • POS
  • Role Model
  • Logistics
  • Fine Dining
  • Emergency Situations
  • Customer Complaints
  • CPR
  • FAA
  • Giveaways
  • Leadership
  • USCG
  • Law Enforcement
  • Championship
  • Soccer
  • All-Conference
  • Coast Guard
  • Incident Reports
  • Community Services
  • Scholarship
  • PowerPoint
  • NCAA
  • Fire Suppression
  • Sales Floor
  • Combat
  • EMS
  • Volleyball
  • Training Programs

You can let Zippi customize your resume.

How to structure your work experience

Your work experience should be structured:

  1. With your most recent roles first, followed by earlier roles in reverse chronological order.
  2. Job title, along with company name and location on the left.
  3. Put the corresponding dates of employment on the left side.
  4. Keep only relevant jobs on your work experience.

How to write captain experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

  • Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
  • What were your responsibilities or goals?
  • How did you accomplish them?
  • Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are effective examples from captain resumes:

Add an education section to your resume

Here is the best way to format your education section:

  • Display your highest degree first.
  • If you graduated over 5 years ago, put this section at the bottom of your resume. If you lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.
  • If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education.
  • If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.
