As the U.S. and coalition military troops continue to rotate into and out of Afghanistan and Iraq, the need for LOGCAP support personnel will also continue. Perform a search for LOGCAP jobs, Army jobs, Defense jobs, Fluor jobs, KBR jobs, ITT jobs, DynCorp jobs, and you’ll see LOGCAP defense contractor overseas jobs are plentiful.

The important thing to remember if applying for one of these high paying LOGCAP jobs is that you can be supremely qualified for a position, but the LOGCAP 4 recruiters working for the LOGCAP defense contractors in Afghanistan are only interested in resumes that meet a certain format. What format is that you ask? For one, your resume must have no typographical errors, no grammatical errors, no syntax errors, no verb tense errors, no alignment errors…no errors! The second thing LOGCAP recruiters are looking for in your resume? Keywords. It must be rich in relevant keywords, as nearly all resumes which make the first cut are selected using software based on advanced filter options, filtering applicants according to selectable criteria. This is a big deal and the main reason each resume you submit for a position must be tailored specifically for that particular job. One size fits all resumes are ancient history. Finally, the style, organization and presentation of your credentials must absolutely POP! The design with consideration to arrangement, symmetry and visual appeal must grab the attention of the reader and hold it as each section builds on the other, increasing interest and compelling the reader to dig further and deeper into who you are, what you bring to the table, and how you contribute to organizational development, success of the company’s business objectives and its ability to meet the needs of the mission.

How to Format Your Resume for a LOGCAP Job.

Sure you may be supremely qualified for a particular job, but if your resume doesn’t meet the format I just described… (No errors, keyword rich content, style, organization, presentation, design, arrangement, symmetry, and visual appeal) not only will it not get a second glance, it will never even be looked at! In fact, if it is not keyword rich, it will never even show up on the recruiter’s radar…and if it isn’t error free it’s going to be passed over for one that is! A hot resume is a highly optimized blend of science and art which if done correctly, will give the applicant a significant advantage in being matched with a job requisition on LOGCAP or other overseas employment opportunities. I should know! (I'm Bruce Diggs, by the way.) With nearly a decade of experience working on LOGCAP projects, I have vast and in-depth experience in knowing exactly what LOGCAP recruiters want to see.

That’s right! In order for your application not to get put into the ‘circular file’ (aka, the trash can) never to see the light of day again, you have to present your application in a particular way for it to even be considered! You have to know how to survive the selection process.

Take Advantage of My Experience.

That’s where my experience and knowledge of how the system works will help you. You have to know how the game is played in order to win! By reviewing your work and educational experience, I'll format your resume to meet the exact criteria the LOGCAP 4 recruiters are looking for. You have to know how to tilt the scales in your favor to get that job.

It's like target practice: aim straight — inhale — exhale — squeeze.

I Know Which Resumes Work — And Which Ones Don't.

I'm a heavily experienced HR professional for major LOGCAP defense contractors. What does that mean? It means I've literally seen THOUSANDS of resumes and applications — and I know which ones make the cut, and which ones don’t. Some people pay ridiculous amounts of money to professional resume writing services and get absolutely nothing in return.

Don’t pay hundreds of dollars for someone to write your resume that has never even been on a LOGCAP project and has no idea of how the project even works. Can having someone like me who has spent considerable time on the project work in your favor? You bet it can… and does. When it comes to submitting a resume for a LOGCAP job or other overseas job opportunity, don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

In other words, in any endeavor that you may need help in, you should always hire someone who knows what they’re talking about and has actual experience in the arena you’re wanting to get into…someone who’s been there, done that, and got the t-shirt.

Remember…applying to a LOGCAP job or other overseas jobs is like playing the lottery… and your resume is your lottery ticket. It is the first impression a potential employer is going to get about you, and you only get one first impression…no do-over’s, so you have to make it count! You need someone who knows how to take your resume, and structure it in the format that the LOGCAP 4 recruiters for Fluor, Dyncorp, KBR and ITT want to see!

Don’t have a resume? No worries. Just send me what you’ve got — I’ll do the rest.

I’ll take your work experience, turn it into a LOGCAP 4 resume, and put it in a layout which will significantly increase the odds of getting a call from a LOGCAP recruiter. I make no guarantee that you’ll get called of course, but there is one guarantee I can make you: if your resume isn’t in the format they’re looking for, (that is to say error free, keyword rich content, style, organization, presentation, design, arrangement, symmetry, and visual appeal), you will NEVER get that call from one of the LOGCAP 4 recruiters. Period.

Why Are the LOGCAP 4 Recruiters So Picky?

These LOGCAP 4 recruiters receive literally THOUSANDS of applications for each position they are trying to fill. They are very, very picky about who they recommend, and I’ll tell you why. Because the BONUS money LOGCAP recruiters get only comes after the completion of the one year employment agreement. In other words, they have to recommend good people. LOGCAP recruiters don’t decide who gets hired – they make recommendations, and the hiring authority almost always follows them.

These bonuses are where the LOGCAP recruiters get their real money. You'd better believe they are extremely selective in who they choose to invest in. That’s right! The people that the LOGCAP recruiters pick and choose for these lucrative, high-paying jobs are a financial investment for them and the competition for those jobs is enormous. You are literally up against thousands of other people for the same job, and that means you have to do everything in your power to distinguish yourself, and make yourself stand-out from the crowd.

You have to think about why a LOGCAP recruiter would recommend you for a position, as opposed to anybody else:

• What makes you so different?
• What makes you the best qualified candidate?
• Why would they want to hire you and not somebody else?

The lowest paying entry level job with the LOGCAP 4 companies is significantly above the average wages in your country of origin.

And that’s just to start. Once you’ve got your foot in the door, there will be plenty of opportunities to move up within LOGCAP, and make even larger sums of money. Plus, when you consider that all your housing and meals are provided for you at no charge, the money can really rack up quick.

That’s right — free room and board with not a single penny out of your pocket. For a relatively select few, this is an opportunity to make some serious money. I don’t have to tell you how bad unemployment is right now, and that makes the competition for these high paying LOGCAP jobs even greater. But in order to even stand a chance of being called by one of the LOGCAP 4 recruiters, you've got to show them what they want to see.

How to be the Diamond in the Rough That a LOGCAP 4 Recruiter is Looking For.

LOGCAP recruiters are like gold miners, sifting through tons and tons of ore, hoping to hit pay dirt. And with my help, and by following my advice, you are going to be that shiny gold nugget they’ve been looking for!

You're going to be cut and polished into a fine jewel they can keep in their pocket until you complete your one year contract — then they'll take it out and cash it in.

And don’t let anyone tell you or fool you into thinking that just because you pay $200, $300, $400 dollars…or more for a resume…that is secures you any guarantee of getting an interview with a LOGCAP recruiter. Oh sure, there are a ton of resume writing services out there that will promise you the moon to one degree or another, but in order to get one of these high paying overseas jobs on LOGCAP 4, you’ve got to:

• Know somebody that works there, or
• Know somebody like me — who knows how the LOGCAP system works and is willing to help you!

The system works — IF you know how to work the system!
