The writing process
How we write it
Every resume is written with you, against a real target announcement.
Briefing and review
Your consultant reviews the target announcement against your background and builds the writing plan.
Keywords
The writer analyzes the target vacancy announcement for the seven to ten keywords and phrases that decide the rating, then hands you the list to confirm.
Accomplishment coaching
The writer draws out one to five accomplishments, each with its challenge and result. Write your own first with our free CCAR Accomplishment Builder.
The record
The new format CAN be done! Targeting, accomplishments, and at least 10 years of professional experience.
The two-page, skills-based resume is written into OPM guidance and the Merit Hiring Plan (pages 10 and 11). We have been on the forefront of the federal resume since the format was introduced.
Where to start
Strategy first, then writing. The consultation is where every project begins.
The $210 or $260 consultation
Your Certified Federal Resume Writer or Executive Writer / Consultant will review the resume, announcement, and your objectives and give you important recommendations to change the resume. And offer a non-obligatory quote for professional writing services.
