How to Write a Federal Resume

Applying to federal jobs is NO JOKE!

The application process takes time, effort, and specialized documents that other job applications might not otherwise need. In order to increase your chances of getting that federal job, you have to create a specialized federal resume.

What makes a federal resume different from a traditional resume?
TONS of things!

The layout of your federal resume will be relatively similar to that of your traditional resume, but the information you include will be very different.

Check out the video to learn more about what you need on your federal resume to make sure it stands out from the crowd.

Good information here, but I recommend sharing an example of a resume next time. I think that's what most people are looking for including your insight. Thumbs up.

This has been very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. 

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind?

1. Do we include our Linkedin profile link?

2. I have a physical disability. Should I disclose that?

3. Regarding including relevant coursework / papers / presentations - Do the papers have to be published? Could they be papers you wrote in college?

4. I’m confused about including a second resume. Is the second resume a condensed version of your federal resume? What should I include in this reduced version of the federal resume?  

5. Do I include a professional summary? And if I do include one should I talk about my disability and the challenges I faced with employment? I'm really passionate about help people with disabilities - should I include that? 

6. In the experience section do I include the full address?

Thank you!

I'm a Federal employee who occasionally reviews--and ranks--resumes. I absolutely HATE seeing walls of text, to be honest. I like seeing bullet points (yes, you can absolutely do that on USAJOBs) and neat little categories.

So technical, i been applying and applying and applying for federal jobs.. I subscribed to your channel though.

Thanks for this information, it’s very useful. I had no idea how to start and this video clarified my questions. But I have one more question I hope you can help me. I haven’t worked in the states, all my background is in another country with different currency and level of life. How can I calculate my GS level?

Thank you for such a clear and helpful video. Under work experience, what supervisor name and contact are we supposed to put if our supervisor has since left the organization? My field has a lot of turnover and none of my supervisors are still with the facilities.

Thanks for this!!! If someone has a couple jobs that are super short (I’m talking 1 that was only a couple months, and 1 freak one that was literally a single day), do they have to list those on a federal resume? Or can you just leave those out and put relative experience?

Thanks in advance!

If you are applying to an HR position, should you then only have one resume?

Would serving in the military would be considered a GS?
