RESUME WRITING SERVICES

 
(Click on this banner for costs and to receive a FREE Consultation)

The resume provides selecting officials their first impression of the applicant through his/her 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 resumes during that time. 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, desire, qualifications, and motivation.

You must work closely with the resume writer to provide detailed information. Federal resumes and KSAs must be specific and the only way the 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 −

The professional resume service that we recommend uses only certified writers. They will work with you to ensure that your resume, KSAs, or ECQs are thorough, grammatically correct, properly formatted, tailored to the job announcement, and in a file format suitable for the job you are applying for. 

Applicants can also write their resume / application independently with the proper resources and knowledge. Many are able to complete their application using these excellent resources. If you don't have the time or inclination to do it on your own, this highly recommended Federal Resume Writing Service is available to a assist you. The service you select will be based on several factors including:

  1. Complexity of your resume and application
  2. Grade level that you are applying for
  3. Personal contact − ability to talk with the professional you hire
  4. The time you have available to work with the writer, and
  5. Cost of service - what you can afford

CAUTION

When selecting a resume writing service, make sure you will have phone contact with your assigned writer before you sign up. The service we recommend provides an initial FREE consultation by phone and works with their clients by phone and email to professionally complete your resume. They also  tailor it to the specific job announcement. A number of low cost services offer only online contact through a resume desktop. These services can be difficult to contact for customer support or to correct problems with your resume or billing and they often don't tailor your resume to the job announcement.

If you need help with your resume don't base your selection
on cost alone, its quality that counts and will get you hired.

WHICH SERVICE IS BEST FOR YOU?

It depends on many factors. Either way you will have to work by phone and online with the resume writer. Can you do this yourself with the proper resources, is the job complexity such that you definitely need one-on-one HELP? If you are still confused after reading about your options on this page call Dennis Damp, the author of The Book of U.S. Government Jobs, at 412-494-6926. Dennis will spend a few minutes with you to help you decide.

WRITE YOUR RESUME
Using Proper Guidance and Samples

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. 

The application and resume process isn't formidable, however it is detailed and you have to know what to focus on 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 samples that are provided in The Book of U.S. Government Jobs and The The Federal Resume Guidebook, 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 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 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. After you complete your federal style resume offline, it is a simple matter to copy and paste your resume into online resume builders.

A word of caution. Once you have your resume completed and posted on USAJOBS or one of the many other agency resume builders, 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 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.
