KSAs included free. Federal hiring reform has made it confusing whether KSAs are required. We include them free with every federal resume, so you are covered either way.
Replacing the older and more complex government applications, federal resumes are now the standard way to apply for government openings. It would be a mistake to assume a private-sector resume will do — federal resumes must follow strict content and format guidelines set by the federal government.
Federal resumes have to include the specific information requested in the job announcement, and they must be rich in keywords so they are picked up by the Resumix scanning software federal recruiters use. Selected resumes are then rated against Federal Qualification Standards.
Because federal resumes weigh so heavily in the hiring process — sometimes more than the interview itself — they have to match every guideline and still stand out.
Why our writers should prepare it
Preparing a federal resume yourself takes hours, from learning the guidelines to tailoring the document to each announcement, and one missed requirement can disqualify you without your ever knowing. Our writers specialize in federal resume writing and make that task straightforward.
