Your resume has probably at least two pages. These are filled with an overload of information about your nautical career. Do operators and crewing agencies want to know all this? Sorry for your effort and time, but frankly no. Chances are that your resume isn't even read and disappears in the mailbox. To convince employers, you need to communicate your most relevant work experience completely, clearly and quickly.
