Federal Resume?
I am relocating to the Northern Virginia area soon, and am beginning to look for jobs. Obviously, there are quite a few fed jobs open, however, I have never written a federal resume. I have done some looking at templates, and basically, I am wondering if it is worth using a resume writing service for this? Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Federal Resume?
How is a federal resume different than any other resume?
:
Especially with USAJOBS, you're going to have to tailor it for each position to make the cert list anyway, because the first filter is a keyword search. I definitely wouldn't consider it for a fed job.
From what I remember, I have never used a specific resume when applying for jobs (just my usual resume), though in the past you did have to apply through USAJOBS and answer KSA's: Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities essays. You normally also have to include your transcripts from your schools, if the job requires a specific type of degree. I have also heard that they use keyword searches to select qualified candidates.
However, the last few federal job I have applied for haven't even required KSA's: you answer an occupational questionnaire on a separate website and then upload your documents. Though none of my applications have been successful, so maybe I'm not the right person to ask!
