How We Craft Your Federal Resume

The federal government uses a complex system to categorize jobs. It is known as the General Schedule (GS) system, consisting of 15 grades based on qualification, education, and experience. You need to have expert knowledge to be able to create a resume that aligns with all of these specifications. Here is how we make sure your resume hits the mark:

1.     We have a deep understanding of the federal GS system. We apply this knowledge to align your resume with the GS system's requirements.

2.     We carefully review the job posting so we can identify specific requirements and keywords.

3.     We then create a customized resume that matches the qualifications and skill demands of the job.

4.     We pay attention to detail so that every aspect of your experience and achievements aligns with the job's needs.

5.     We do a thorough final check to really be sure that your resume perfectly reflects the position's specifics.

Why do we put so much emphasis on getting the details right? Charles R. Swindoll once said, "The difference between good and great is attention to detail." We want to make sure your resume turns out great, not just good.

Know the Difference: Federal vs. Civilian Resumes

How do federal resumes stand out from their civilian counterparts? Isn’t resume = resume?

Well, it boils down to a few distinct features. Federal resumes need to go deeper into your professional life than civilian resumes do. They should detail your education, work history, specific skills directly tied to the job, and your noteworthy achievements.

But there is another important distinction: they need to have certain keywords taken right from the job posting. Why, you ask? A human never reads many resumes due to companies using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to filter through applicants first. Including these keywords is what gets you past these ATS filters.
