What we see every week.
Relevant employment entries may omit dates, hours per week or federal series and grade.
Specialized experience can be difficult to identify in a generic list of duties.
Eligibility and supporting-document requirements vary by announcement and hiring path.
Months of waiting only to be marked "not qualified" with no feedback.
Our approach
How we approach federal resumes
USAJOBS currently limits resumes to two pages. Relevant entries should identify the employer, job title, month/year dates, hours per week and, for previous federal roles, series and grade. The announcement determines any additional requirements.
Every engagement begins with a detailed review of the target announcement. We extract the "specialized experience" statement, the KSAs, the rating criteria, and the OPM qualification standard. Your resume is then written to address each of these directly, with concrete metrics, scope of responsibility, and outcome statements that the rating panel can score.
We check the announcement's required documents separately from the resume. Applicants supply their own eligibility evidence through the official application channel; medical, classified and other sensitive information should not be sent for resume editing. Official instructions take precedence over general writing guidance.

Questions we get on federal resumes.
What's the difference between a federal resume and a regular resume?
The current USAJOBS limit is two pages. Federal resumes need explicit qualification evidence and employment details such as hours per week and federal series/grade where applicable. Use the announcement's relevant terms truthfully; do not copy duties as if they were your achievements.
Do you write resumes for USAJOBS?
Yes. Every federal resume we deliver is paste-safe for the USAJOBS resume builder and uploads cleanly as a PDF, depending on which option the announcement requires.
Can you handle SES applications?
Send the specific announcement before booking. Executive application requirements vary; any additional narratives and their scope must be confirmed against the current instructions. Resume writing cannot establish eligibility or guarantee a qualification decision.
How long does a federal resume take?
Standard turnaround is 10-14 days. Faster delivery can be requested during your enquiry for announcements with short windows.
What does federal resume support include?
We align the document with the vacancy instructions and the experience you can substantiate. Scope and revisions are agreed before work begins. Hiring decisions remain with the employer.
