I will write a federal resume optimized for usajobs
About this Gig
Federal hiring doesn't work like corporate hiring - and your resume shouldn't look like it does. I've served 15 years in the U.S. Air Force, worked personnel security for the FBI, cybersecurity operations for DHS, and IT leadership for the VA. I've been on both sides of the federal hiring process, and I know exactly what gets a resume referred - and what gets it tossed.
Federal resumes are longer, more detailed, and follow strict conventions: full work history with hours per week, supervisor details, and announcement-specific keywords that USAJOBS systems and HR specialists screen for. Most applicants lose out before a hiring manager ever sees their name.
I'll build you a federal resume in proper USAJOBS format, keyword-matched to your target announcement, written to survive both the automated screening and the human review. Whether you're a veteran using preference, a current fed going for a promotion, or breaking into government for the first time - you'll apply with confidence.

FAQ
What's different about a federal resume vs. a regular resume?
Federal resumes are typically 3–5+ pages with far more detail: exact dates, hours worked per week, supervisor names and contact info, and announcement-specific keywords. Corporate one-page resumes get screened out immediately on USAJOBS.
I've never applied on USAJOBS before — can you still help?
Absolutely. The Standard and Premium packages are built for first-time federal applicants. I'll walk you through what the system expects.
Do you write KSA or ECQ statements?
Yes — KSA narratives (up to 3) are included in the Premium package. ECQs for SES-level positions can be quoted separately; message me first.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your current resume (any format), the job announcement or series/grade you're targeting, and details on veterans' preference if you're claiming it. I'll send a short intake questionnaire after you order.
Can you guarantee I'll get referred or hired?
No honest writer can guarantee that — hiring decisions belong to the agency. What I guarantee is a resume that meets federal standards and gives you the strongest possible shot at the referral list.
