Federal Resumes

Different from a private sector resume and usually consisting of 3 to 10 or more pages. Requires specific information such as social security number, employers' names and addresses, supervisors' names and telephone numbers, series/grade and vacancy announcement of position applying for. Keywords are critical in the development of federal resumes and should be populated throughout to include specific experience and accomplishments which makes the resume your own. You must demonstrate that you meet and/or exceed the requirements listed in each vacancy announcement or series in for which you are applying.

Resumix or Federal Resume Builders

In many instances, the initial screening of your resume is accomplished by artificial intelligence; i.e., a software program that scans your resume for required information and key words, core competencies and phrases specific to the position. The federal government has many different online application systems that are not integrated between agencies, therefore require different formatting, word counts and other specific parameters. More frequestly requested online Resumix's are known as Quickhire, USAjobs, Dept of Army Resumix (CPOL), Dept of Navy Resumix, Dept of Air Force Resumix, EdHire, AVUE and others. Many clients choose to order more than one specific Resumix format to maximize application options.

In building your Resumix, we ensure the appropriate key words and core competencies are populated throughout the document. We reference the OPM (Office of Personnel Management) guidelines for specific General Series and Wage Grades. Additionally, your resume should be rewritten in a clear and concise format comprised of a proper balance of job description and personal accomplishment and contribution; this is essential to keeping the reader interested and focused. Therefore, we focus equally on your personal achievements, accomplishments and position purpose. The most effective resumes contain strong, bulleted lists of accomplishments that clearly and indisputably demonstrate your contributions, accomplishments, and value. While it is important to include critical information, it is just as important to exclude "filler" verbiage. HR professionals have come to be turned off by sweeping, vague declarations that aren't backed up by facts, figures, and qualitative statements. We know how to strike the perfect balance between the two.

Beating the Competition

Even if you make it through the screening process, there is never a guarantee that you will be granted an interview (but at least you will have a chance). At times, a position may be cancelled or put on hold due to budget considerations or a change in priorities. For some jobs, the competition among qualified candidates is fierce. You also never know when a hiring authority has a favorite employee hand-picked for a position before the vacancy was even announced, but that’s where the process really works in your favor. Every candidate must apply through the same process, so potential favoritism is reduced. If a chosen candidate does not pass the triple screening process conducted by Human Resources (HR), then that application will not be considered for the position, no matter how the hiring manager may feel about it. Of course, then it’s between you and the competition, and that’s where the experts at Army Resumes/CareerPro Global can help again.

Some of the agencies that require online submission include:

• U.S. Army
  The Army CPOL (Civilian Personnel On-Line) format is used for most Army postings and allows 12,000 characters to describe all of your work experience. There are two other fields for your education and additional information. You can only have one resume on file for all applications.
  
  
• U.S. Navy and Marine Corps
  The Navy CHART (Civilian Hiring and Recruitment Tool) format allows up to six positions to describe your work experience, each with a 7,500 character limit. There are additional fields for education (high school information, partial degrees, certifications, and completed degrees), professional training, licenses and certificates, performance ratings and awards, and other information. You can only have one resume on file for all applications.
  
  
• U.S. Air Force
  Like many federal agencies, the USAF uses USAJOBS for its announcements, often with additional restrictions and mandatory content. USAJOBS is fast becoming the premiere clearinghouse for government positions, thanks to its acceptance by the Office of Personnel and Management (OPM). However, there is a great deal of variation within USAJOBS vacancy announcements, as each agency imposes its own requirements. Some use the USAJOBS format and submission process as is, some simply redirect you to their own application site, and others combine elements of both.
  
  
• U.S. Coast Guard
  The USCG uses Avue Central for online vacancy submissions. This format allows only 4,000 characters per job listed in your work history and is one of the most extensive (and complicated) of all the online systems. This is the system that generally takes the most amount of time to completely enter online.
  
  
• Federal Aviation Administration
  The FAA system is not complicated and is fairly simple in its layout, but its numerous pages of online questions are extensive, requiring a great deal of time to fill out. Applicants must check boxes and enter information on every possible aspect of their aviation career, including types and models of aircraft flown, pilot licenses and certifications, FAA designations and authorizations, and total flight hours as Pilot in Charge or Second in Command of numerous airplanes and rotorcraft. Each of the five work experience blocks is limited to 4,000 characters.

Other agencies have their own online formats, including the FBI, DIA, and the U.S. Postal Service, although many are switching to using Application Manager (whether on its own site or redirected from applications on USAJOBS). Our expert writers maintain their knowledge of these systems to keep up to date with the latest changes.
