That statement is covered with a look at your license. 25 ton, 100, unlimited, inland, near coastal, open ocean, issue #, endorsements, etc. Then there are references. Granted some people just ask if you have a license or stop at your age (foolish), but that's why we make multiple copies of our resume.
At 41 it may be necessary to make your own breaks, but at 41 you have the experience to do it.
