What the writing service covers

We know how to write resumes that get you rated Best Qualified. With accomplishment coaching built in, the goal is simple: get you Referred and invited to the interview.

The 2-Page Federal Resume

The 2-page federal resume covers the Specialized Experience and keywords from the announcement, plus accomplishments that are specific and include metrics. The emphasis is on everything within the last ten years.

Accomplishment coaching

Accomplishment examples are critical to your application score for getting Best Qualified and Referred. We add five to seven accomplishments, so you prove your outstanding past performance that matches the Specialized Experience in the announcement.

Core Competencies, KSAs, and the Assessment Questions

Our writers cover the language in the KSAs, the Core Competencies, and sometimes the Self-Assessment Questionnaire. We know how to match the resume to all of the announcement language.

Career or occupational change

It is possible to change careers, with careful selection of transferrable skills and accomplishments, and by featuring the most relevant experience for the new position on page one. We organize the work experience to put the most relevant positions first, ahead of the rest. This is a challenging resume to write and the selection of content matters.

Targeted to your next grade

Have not updated your resume in a long time? It is time to make sure the resume represents your qualifications, experience, and accomplishments, targeted for the next job and grade level.

Start with the $210, or $260 for GS-14 and up, federal resume consultation to determine what to change, rewrite, edit, or add to your current resume. This one-hour assessment is invaluable for targeting your new position, and we can quote the time and cost to write the new resume professionally.
