Vacancy alignment
Use the announcement’s duties and qualifications to identify the experience that needs to be demonstrated. Eligibility and supporting documents must also be checked separately.
The announcement comes first
Federal Resume Writing Services
Connect your experience to the federal role you are pursuing.
Federal applications need careful attention to the vacancy announcement. We help you organize relevant experience around the stated qualifications, describe your work accurately and prepare a focused resume that follows the requirements for your intended application.
A focused application, not a longer generic resume
Specific experience
Explain work performed, scope and responsibility using concrete examples. Include relevant employment details required by the announcement.
Current instructions
Check the applicable page limit, file format and required documents before drafting. A long historical federal resume should not be reused without reviewing current guidance.
The vacancy announcement guides the writing scope. We review which responsibilities and qualification statements need evidence, then help you select examples from your actual work. Copying the announcement without showing that experience does not demonstrate that you meet a requirement.
OPM’s current applicant guidance sets a two-page resume limit for USAJOBS applications. It also identifies relevant employment details such as job titles, employers, month/year dates and weekly hours. Check your specific announcement for its instructions and any additional documents.
Resume writing support does not determine eligibility or replace an agency’s assessment. Review all application questions and supporting-document requirements yourself. Do not send Social Security numbers, classified information or sensitive government records in a resume-writing request.

Common questions
Should my federal resume be four or five pages?
Do not assume older advice applies. Current OPM applicant guidance specifies two pages for USAJOBS resumes. Check the instructions for the specific opportunity before applying.
Do I need a specific announcement?
A target announcement is the most useful starting point because qualifications and required evidence vary by role. Share the link with your request.
Can you guarantee that I qualify or will be referred?
No. The hiring agency determines eligibility, qualifications, referral and selection.
Are transcripts or other documents included?
The announcement determines supporting documents. A resume-writing quote does not imply preparation or submission of every application document.
Start with the document you have.
