FEDERAL TO PRIVATE INDUSTRY
Transitioning from Federal
Your federal years are the asset, not the obstacle. A reduction in force, a planned move, or a step back into government later: your federal experience is the most valuable thing on the page, once it is translated for the recruiter reading it.
The translation we do
Federal resumes are the hardest resumes in existence. A federal-to-private translation is our work, not a side line.
From series to skills
We turn series, grade, and federal scope into the competencies and outcomes a private recruiter screens for.
From duties to results
Budgets, teams, programs, and impact, framed as quantified accomplishments instead of position descriptions.
From announcement to ATS
The same keyword rigor that clears a federal panel, aimed at the private-sector ATS and the hiring manager.
HOW THE WRITING WORKS
You stay the author. We do the targeting.
We are experts at condensing, targeting, and packaging your career into the short two or three page format. We do not rewrite your resume from a generic template; generic does not get interviews.
Briefing review
Your certified writer reviews your current resume and your new objectives, job titles, industry, and specialized knowledge, and sets the writing format and emphasis plan.
Keywords from a real announcement
The writer analyzes one target recruitment ad, builds seven to ten keyword phrases from it, and makes sure the resume covers them.
Accomplishment coaching
You write your Challenge, Context, Action, Results stories in your own words, starting with our free CCAR Accomplishment Builder. We trim each one to 40 to 50 sharp words. You will need these stories for the interviews too.
