Federal resume writing

Federal resumes written for USAJOBS and the two-page rule.

Government applications are screened differently than private-sector ones. A CPRW-certified writer on our team builds your federal resume around the job announcement you are applying to, in the format USAJOBS now requires.

Why a federal resume is different

HR specialists check your resume against the announcement line by line. Missing details or the wrong format can screen you out before a hiring manager ever sees it.

2

Two pages, no more

Since September 27, 2025, resumes submitted through USAJOBS can be no longer than two pages. We keep what matters most and cut what does not.

✓

Written to the announcement

Your experience is framed around the specialized experience and qualifications the announcement asks for, so the reviewer can find each one quickly.

The details HR looks for

Start and end dates by month and year, hours worked per week, and series and grade for federal positions, all in the places reviewers expect them.

Federal resume questions

Will my resume fit the USAJOBS two-page limit?

Yes. Every federal resume we write is kept to two pages, in line with the limit that took effect on September 27, 2025.

What do I need to send you?

The link to the USAJOBS announcement you are applying to, your current resume if you have one, and the answers to our short intake form.

Can you write my resume for more than one announcement?

Each federal resume is written to one target announcement. If you are applying to roles that ask for different experience, you can order a second resume for the other role.

Do you help veterans?

Yes. Our writers regularly help veterans turn military experience into a federal resume that HR specialists can match to the announcement.

Can you guarantee I will be referred or hired?

No one can guarantee that. What we can promise is a resume that follows the current rules and clearly shows how your experience matches what the announcement asks for.

How long does it take?

Your first draft arrives within 48 hours after we receive your intake form. Need it faster? Add 24-hour delivery for $99.
