Hiring managers at the Port of New Orleans, Shell Pipeline, Entergy, Ochsner Health, and Tulane University Medical Center evaluate resumes against a standard built around maritime operations, Gulf Coast energy infrastructure, Louisiana healthcare, and the financial and legal sectors anchoring the CBD. Generic resumes don’t meet that standard. We’ve been on that side of the hiring decision. We know exactly what earns the callback in Louisiana’s most demanding professional markets.

New Orleans Operates One of the World’s Busiest Ports and One of the Gulf Coast’s Most Complex Energy and Healthcare Markets.
Your Resume Needs to Reflect That.
The Port of New Orleans handles over 500 million short tons of cargo annually — one of the top five busiest ports in the United States and the gateway for the entire Mississippi River corridor. Shell Pipeline, Entergy Louisiana, and Chevron’s Gulf operations anchor an energy infrastructure market across the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Ochsner Health is the largest private employer in Louisiana. Tulane University Medical Center, LCMC Health, and Children’s Hospital round out a healthcare complex that is one of the most comprehensive in the South. Each sector requires completely different resume vocabulary — and most New Orleans professionals are applying with documents that contain none of it.
From Port of New Orleans maritime ops to Shell and Entergy energy infrastructure to Ochsner’s healthcare enterprise — we write in the specific professional language each of these employers actually evaluates.
New Orleans’ port and energy markets move on their own cycles. When a role opens at the Port Authority, Shell, or Ochsner, your documents need to be ready immediately. Rush delivery in 1–2 days available.
Apply to 25 relevant roles with no interview and we rewrite at no charge. We back every document we deliver because 87% of our clients land — and we’ve been building Louisiana-market resumes long enough to know exactly what that takes.

New Orleans Has One of the Most Specialized Professional Markets in America.
Generic Resumes Don’t Win Here.
Port operations, Gulf Coast energy infrastructure, and Louisiana’s healthcare and hospitality corporate sectors each require a completely different resume vocabulary. Most New Orleans professionals are applying with documents that speak none of it fluently.
Shell Pipeline, Entergy Louisiana, Chevron, and the network of Gulf Coast midstream and downstream operators evaluate engineers and operations leaders for pipeline integrity metrics, FERC compliance experience, Louisiana environmental regulatory depth, and infrastructure asset management language that national energy resume templates never produce. A resume written for a Texas upstream role doesn’t compete in New Orleans’ midstream and utility market.
Ochsner Health — Louisiana’s largest private employer — evaluates clinical leaders and healthcare administrators for quality metrics, Louisiana Medicaid and Medicare program specifics, LCMC Health system integration experience, and the financial and operational language that a $3B+ health system requires. A clinical resume heavy on patient care duties and light on system-level financial and operational impact doesn’t compete for Ochsner or Tulane Medical leadership roles.
Port of New Orleans hiring managers evaluate logistics, supply chain, and operations professionals for cargo throughput metrics, TEU volume management, stevedoring coordination, and intermodal operations specifics that generic supply chain resumes never contain. If your resume says “managed logistics operations” instead of naming the cargo types, terminal systems, and throughput volumes you managed — you’re invisible to port and maritime employers.
Houston’s Most Competitive Industries —
We Know Every One From the Inside
Houston isn’t one job market. It’s six distinct hiring ecosystems — each with its own language, its own metrics, and its own hiring culture. We’ve placed professionals across all of them.
The Port of New Orleans, the Ports of South Louisiana, and the maritime services ecosystem anchoring the Lower Mississippi River corridor. Logistics directors, terminal operations managers, freight forwarders, and supply chain leaders who need resumes built around TEU volume, cargo throughput, intermodal coordination, and the Jones Act compliance specifics that port and maritime employers evaluate.
Shell Pipeline, Entergy Louisiana, Chevron Gulf Operations, and the network of midstream, downstream, and energy infrastructure companies operating across the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Pipeline engineers, utility operations managers, environmental compliance leaders, and energy project managers who need resumes that speak FERC regulation, pipeline integrity management, Louisiana environmental law, and Gulf Coast infrastructure asset language.
Ochsner Health — Louisiana’s largest private employer — LCMC Health, Tulane University Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital. Clinical leaders, healthcare administrators, and health system executives who need documents that bridge Louisiana Medicaid program specifics, quality and safety metrics, and the financial and operational language that a major integrated health system evaluates.
Whitney Bank, the major New Orleans CBD law firms — Jones Walker, Adams and Reese, Phelps Dunbar — and the professional services firms serving Louisiana’s complex regulatory and energy legal environment. Finance and legal professionals who need resumes that communicate Louisiana regulatory depth, energy and maritime law specifics, and the professional credibility these institutions evaluate.
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Marriott, Hyatt, Loews, and the major New Orleans hospitality groups managing the city’s $10B+ tourism economy. Corporate hospitality executives, convention services directors, food and beverage operations leaders, and event management professionals who need resumes that communicate operational scale, revenue impact, and enterprise-level management language.
Senior leaders targeting Director, VP, and C-suite roles across New Orleans’ port, energy, healthcare, and professional services industries — and professionals making strategic pivots between sectors as Louisiana’s economy evolves. At senior level in New Orleans, your documents need to signal operational scale, Louisiana market credibility, and the executive presence the city’s most demanding employers evaluate.

New Orleans’ energy and healthcare markets move on their own cycles. When a hiring window opens at Shell, Entergy, or Ochsner, it moves fast. Our clients average 58 days to offer vs. the 120–180 day industry standard — because they’re positioned correctly when the window opens.
Gulf Coast energy and healthcare leadership roles carry strong compensation bands — especially at Shell, Entergy, and Ochsner’s senior levels. The difference between being positioned at mid-band and top-of-band often runs $30–60K. We position you at the top.

Frequently Asked Questions from New Orleans Professionals
Why choose Legacy Careers over other Houston career coaches?
Most career coaches give advice. Legacy Careers was built by a hiring executive who spent 12+ years making the decisions that changed people’s careers in Gulf Coast energy, healthcare, and operations markets — the exact industries that anchor New Orleans’ professional economy. The 87% placement rate and 58-day average to offer are built on knowing exactly how Port of New Orleans, Shell, Entergy, and Ochsner hiring managers actually read a resume. No generic platform has that specific Gulf Coast depth.
Do you specialize in the Port of New Orleans and maritime industry?
Yes. Maritime and port operations is one of our deepest areas of expertise given our Houston base and Gulf Coast background. We write resumes in the specific professional language the Port of New Orleans, Ports of South Louisiana, and Louisiana maritime employers evaluate — cargo throughput metrics, TEU volume management, terminal operations specifics, stevedoring coordination, intermodal operations, and Jones Act compliance language that generic logistics resumes never contain.
Can you help with Shell, Entergy, and Gulf Coast energy roles in New Orleans?
Yes. Gulf Coast energy is core to our expertise from our Houston base. We’ve placed professionals at Shell, Chevron, and major midstream and downstream operators across the Louisiana Gulf Coast. New Orleans energy resumes require pipeline integrity metrics, FERC compliance experience, Louisiana environmental regulatory depth, and infrastructure asset management language — specifics that national energy resume templates don’t produce and that we build at the precise depth these employers evaluate.
Can you help with Ochsner Health and New Orleans healthcare roles?
Yes. Ochsner is Louisiana’s largest private employer and one of the most sophisticated health systems in the South. We’ve placed clinical leaders and healthcare administrators in complex integrated health system environments. New Orleans healthcare resumes require Louisiana Medicaid program specifics, quality and safety metrics, LCMC Health system integration experience, and the financial and operational language that a major integrated health system evaluates from every leadership candidate.
Do you offer outplacement services for New Orleans organizations?
Yes. When a Port of New Orleans logistics firm restructures, a Gulf Coast energy operator reduces headcount, an Ochsner or LCMC health system right-sizes, or a New Orleans CBD professional services firm makes reductions — Legacy Careers provides rapid-deploy outplacement built in Louisiana’s specific maritime, energy, and healthcare language. Same-week launch. 5 to 500 employees. Mid-market pricing with enterprise delivery quality.
