The Federal government, with over 1.8 million employees, is the country’s largest employer … and the hiring is strong. In fact a visit to the Office of Personnel Management website may net 18,000 + current vacancies. However; applying for federal employment requires knowledge, tools and techniques not required to land private sector employment. Don’t rely on just any resume writer to help you prepare a federal resume and application package – by partnering with me, a trained and certified federal resume writer, you can rest assured that you will receive expert advice and guidance. ekm Inspirations can:
- Interpret Federal job postings and provide you with direction on what résumé format and additional documents you will need to apply
- Reformat your private sector resume (or draft an initial Federal resume) to include all the information required of applicants
- Help you create your USAJobs or other required federal accounts and create “job alerts” to keep you up-to-date on new job postings
- Coach you on how to navigate the various Federal résumé/application systems, including Resumix, Quickhire, and Avue.
- Identify core competencies and key words specific to the job and incorporate them into your resume and cover letter design
- Help you write powerful knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) statements by implementing the CCAR formula
- Guide you through the Federal hiring process
Federal resume writing and job search coaching is complex and tailored to specific job postings and agency requirements. Contact me so I can assess your needs and quote and appropriate fee.
