Professionally Written
Federal Resumes, KSAs, and ECQs
The federal resume provides selecting officials their first impression of
the applicant through his/her federal resume composition, format, and content. I
was a manager for the Federal Aviation Administration for over 20 years
before I retired from government service in 2005, and I personally
reviewed and rated thousands of applications and federal resumes during that
time. Federal resumes and KSAs that are
tailored to the job announcement get noticed and receive higher
ratings. Your initial application makes a lasting impression on the
selecting official and it tells them a lot about your character,
attention to details, desire,
qualifications, and motivation.

Applying for federal jobs can be frustrating and the federal resume has to be
targeted to the job annoucnement and highlight your qualifications to be rated
"Best Qualified." Only applications rated best qualified are forewarded to the
selecting offical for consideration. Federal resume writing services can give
you the edge that you need if you work closely with them to highlight your
qualifications for the position applied for.
You must work closely with the federal resume writer to provide detailed information.
Federal resumes and KSAs must be specific and the only way the federal resume writers
can get this information is from you, so be prepared. They will need lists of
your awards, detailed work history, military service job descriptions, rank and
time of service if applicable, education and training, special skills and
certifications, volunteer work, and temporary details and promotion information.
Only you can provide the details.

It depends on many factors. With the proper
resources you can write your resume
yourself, time permitting. If you hire a
professional
resume writing service you will have to work by phone and online with the
resume writer. The
resume
service we recommend provides a free telephone consultation after reviewing
your current resume or work history and the job announcement that you send them
through their
Quick Quote online form. Only you know the details they need to write your
resume. An entry level federal style resume is typically 3 to 5 pages long and
you must tailor you application and work experience to the job announcement's
required qualifications. One advantage of hiring a professional service is that
once they complete your resume for you you can use that same resume, with minor
modifications, for other government jobs within the same occupational group that
you apply for. Just change the job title and announcement number and review the
new job announcement to check for additional or different required duties and
responsibilities. If these changed you will have to incorporate them into the
new application.
Chapter Six of
The Book
of U.S. Government Jobs walks you through this process. There are many
factors to consider; the time necessary to complete your resume if you write it
yourself, the cost of a
professional
service and whether or not you can afford it, and your writing ability. The
resources that we offer provide abundant examples
and step-by-step instructions. However, you must devote the time necessary to
read the application sections, understand the concepts, tailor your resume to
the job announcement, and compile the data logically, spell and grammar check
your work in a word processor, and then apply.
When writing your resume you have to consider many things and include all
required information. Format is also important
especially with RESUMIX and online submissions. If you are good at putting your
thoughts down on paper and have the time available you can complete your resume
application as long as you fully understand the application process. I wrote
many federal applications during my 35 + years of government service with great
success. I was also a trained and certified federal rating official and reviewed
and rated thousands of job applications.

This resources has everything you need to find and
land high paying and secure
government jobs. Learn how to prepare
professional federal style resumes that will get the
attention of rating officials.
Includes a step-by-step
federal resume and KSA guide with numerous examples.
The application and federal resume process isn't formidable, however it is detailed
and you have to tailor your federal resume
to the job announcement so that rating officials will be able to easily find
the key duties and specialized experience that is required for the job. With a
little coaching and the comprehensive federal resume samples that are provided in
The Book of U.S. Government Jobs, you too can get though this. Entry level job applicants
can expect to spend at least 4 to 8 hours on their application. Midlevel
applicants can easily spend several days just compiling key information in
preparation for completing their federal resume. This is why I encourage all who apply
to complete their resume OFF LINE. I don't recommend completing your resume
through an agency or USAJOBS resume builder because of their limitations. It is
best to write your federal resume and/or application on your word processor and take
your time to compile the info you need, draft your work experiences, spell check
and insure that you have ALL information that is required in the Job
Announcement. Your federal style resume MUST be
tailored to the job announcement
to improve your chances of landing the job. After you complete your federal resume offline, it is a simple matter to copy and paste your
federal resume data into
online resume builders.
A word of caution. Once you have your federal resume completed and posted on USAJOBS, it's easy to submit that same
resume to apply for other job vacancies. That can cost you a possible job.
Before resubmitting that same federal resume for another job vacancy READ the job
announcement thoroughly to insure that other duties and specialized experience
are not required for the new position. If you find different requirements, and
you possess the new duties or specialized experience, incorporate them into your
resume. It is not unusual to apply for the same job series and find other
requirements, or new or additional KSA statements.
