It is misleading to assume that a standard resume will land you a job with
Uncle Sam. Most private industry resumes are loosely structured and simply
introduce the applicant to the company. Follow our resume
guidance on this site and additional information and numerous resume
examples are included in Chapter Six of The Book of
U.S. Government Jobs. These resources will help you write a successful
applications and resume. The application is one of the keys to successfully
landing a federal job. You must write a professional application and federal
style resume and develop job search strategies that work. This web site and The
Book of U.S. Government Jobs will help you achieve those goals.
It is important to remember that YOU MUST SUBMIT ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION.
Most agencies offer online resume builders. Draft your resume off line and copy
and paste it into the resume builder to insure you included all information and
that you tailored your resume to the actual job announcement that you are
applying for. If you don't include all required information as stated on the job
announcement, your application may be rejected or at the very least you will
loose valuable rating points.
