Rewriting a Federal Employee Resume for the Private Sector

I work for the federal government and needed a resume to transition to the private sector. In a federal government resume, one has to list everything. Top Resume. My resume write, Jenna, within 25 hours provided me with a two-page resume that captured my last 15 years of federal service. My resume know has impactful and "achiever" language, especially since I have been with the same employer for over 10 years. However, I have held different roles. Jenna and I went through 2-3 minor iterations of my resume. When I showed my resume to friends in the private sector, they liked the formatting, layout, language, and that it is all of two pages.

Did you know?


A standard resume won’t cut it when applying to a job in the federal field.


Certain government resources offer specific templates to use during the application process for a federal job. If you deviate from these templates, you risk losing out to a candidate who applied properly. Not to mention, the process itself is pretty complex.

Many career coaches recommend having a professional resume writer create the documents for you, as they stay up-to-date with training regarding the federal job application process. So, simplify your job search and ensure that every application you submit counts, with a professionally written resume optimized for the federal position you are targeting.

About Our Services

How is a federal resume different?

Federal resumes differ from standard ones in the following ways:

1. They require more detail and are often much longer than standard resumes. They include information about a candidate’s job series, grade level, duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments.

2. Federal resumes use keywords and Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) statements. These statements address competencies and are what federal agencies use to evaluate candidates.

3. Depending on the job, information about your security clearances (specifying the level and granting agency) may be required. This information is especially relevant for jobs where you will have access to classified information.

4. Federal resumes require thorough details on your education, including the school's name, city, state, ZIP code, major, and type of degree received.

Our government resume writing service will match you with a writer based on your situation and job-seeking goals. Once matched, you two will go into more detail about the jobs you’ll be applying for and your work history. Then, your writer will get to work crafting your resume.
