FEDERAL RESUME WRITING
Transitioning Military
Translate your service into the federal format hiring managers actually read. We coach and write to the Ten Steps to a Federal Job method, the curriculum taught on military bases worldwide.
How we translate your service
We work from your current resume, your Fitness Reports, evaluations, and service records to understand your experience, then translate those skills toward the federal position you are targeting.
The current USAJOBS format
Our Outline Format is popular with the federal HR specialists who review first and the hiring managers who read next. About five pages, packed with the keywords and accomplishments the announcement asks for.
Accomplishment coaching
We add five to seven accomplishments to your resume so you prove the past performance the position requires.
KSAs in the resume
The Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities examples go in the text of the resume or the questionnaire, following the directions in the announcement.
Career or occupational change
We analyze the qualifications for the new target position and interview you about the skills that transfer into the new job series.
Never written a resume before?
Begin with the USAJOBS Resume Builder to create the first draft with all of the required fields in place. Our job is then to write the duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments for you and with you.
