Work Timeframe & Resume?

hi guys! i am going to start applying to jobs down at mcmurdo after i get my drivers license at the end of the month. is it reasonable to be applying for the next winter season?

and how can i better structure my resume when im not a specialist and dont have any ice time? i do have experience working at a store in Alaska, if that's transferrable, so should i note that?

tbh this is all new to me because i hadnt even considered this possibility before. if i had thought about it i wouldve gotten my license wayy before 27 and majored in something useful lol

any help/advise is greatly appreciated!!

Hi, welcome. Have you read the employment FAQ linked in Rule 1 in the sidebar? That's where you should start.

Your resume will be worth more than time working in Alaska. The employment FAQ will be a very good read for you.
