[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People applying for federal jobs through USAJOBS, and for state and local government jobs that ask for detailed work history. Anyone in government and federal who wants to write or rebuild their own resume. Not the right fit if You want someone to write your resume for you (see our done-for-you resume rewrite), or you work outside government and federal: the templates and verbs are built for this field. Why it is different - Built for government and federal: the section order puts follow usajobs's list where the people hiring look first. - The guide starts from what government and federal readers check first, such as: each job's start and end dates (month and year) and hours per week, plus the details USAJOBS's help pages list; check that page before you apply. Example bullets are structures with [placeholders], never invented results. - It also flags the field's common slips, for example: sending a short private-sector resume without the dates and hours USAJOBS asks for each job. One column, standard headings, nothing promised.

You get a download link by email after payment. **Which template should I use?** Federal Resume: Experienced: Applicants with work history that matches an announcement's specialized experience. Federal Resume: Career Change: Private-sector applicants moving into federal work, with skills mapped to the announcement. Federal Resume: Entry Level: Students, recent graduates and first-time federal applicants. **How is a federal resume different?** It includes details a private-sector resume often leaves out, such as dates and hours per week for each job, and it is written to match the qualifications in a specific announcement. USAJOBS's help pages list what to include. **Are the example bullets real results I can copy?** No, on purpose. They are structures such as "[Specialized experience term from the announcement]: [what you did], for [who it served], using [tool, regulation or method].", so you fill in only facts you can back up. **Will these templates get past applicant tracking systems?** They are built the way ATS software reads most reliably: one column, standard headings, no tables, text boxes or images. No template can promise how an employer's system ranks you, and we don't. Free sample ### Try one page first Get a real page or file from this product by email.
