Frequently Asked Questions
Resume Writing
Building your new Federal Resume requires effective information gathering and collaboration for an end-product that feels genuine and authentic. The client intake process helps to gather information on your desired job title, rank, and more. The intake process consists of an introductory questionnaire and a telephone call.
After completion of the intake process, your first drafts are uploaded into the client portal within 7 business days. You may request 30 days of draft revisions to ensure your satisfaction. Final documents are prepared in both MS Word and PDF along with additional information and resources to make the most of your new Resume.
We pledge to deliver on the following timelines:
- First drafts delivered in 7 business days (after completion of intake process)
- All draft revisions delivered in 3 business days (per each round)
In general, the Federal Resume development process typically lasts from 10 to 30 business days (start to finish). This timeline takes into consideration completion of the introductory questionnaire, telephone intake call, first draft development, draft revisions (up to 30 days), and preparation of final proofed copies.
LinkedIn Optimization
LinkedIn Optimization comes after the Federal Resume Writing process.
For your LinkedIn profile, we develop unique content that communicates a clear message and captures attention while improving your profile’s search performance. In addition, we analyze your profile and make suggestions for improvement.
Similar to the Resume Writing process, unlimited revisions allow for refinements and improvements to ensure your complete satisfaction with the new LinkedIn profile content. The end result is a LinkedIn profile that compliments to your new Federal Resume.
Yes, an in-depth phone consultation is a standard part of the intake process.
This discreet and confidential phone call is beneficial to the Resume Writing process for familiarizing with your background and fleshing out your objectives (occupation, industry, and seniority level).
Upon first draft delivery, document revisions are typically handled through written correspondence, although phone calls are happily arranged upon request.
Unlimited Revisions allow for edits, revisions, and questions for a period of 30-days after receiving your first drafts.
We do our very best to develop flawless documents on the first try. Your input is helpful in building documents that are properly aligned with your goals. Constructive feedback and helpful comments and questions are welcome.
The process for making revisions typically involves downloading the document in MS Word and using track changes / comments to make markups, then uploading your revised draft into the secure and confidential client portal. Although written revisions tend to be most productive, phone call requests are happily accommodated too.
Unlimited Revisions is for refining and fine tuning the master version of your Federal Resume. Depending on your needs, we’ll either build a multi-use document or gear it for one specific USAJOBS announcement.
We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to three business days turnaround time for each set of draft revisions.
Rush (+$300) significantly expedites the Federal Resume Writing process.
Under the normal timeline, your first draft is ready in seven business days (draft revisions in three business days). Rush (60% faster!) delivers your first draft in three business days (draft revisions in one business day).
Please bear in mind these timelines require your participation in completing the client intake process (online introductory questionnaire and telephone consultation).
*Rush applies to only the Federal Resume and Cover Letter aspect of this service.
Federal Resumes are necessary when applying to jobs with the US federal government, which employs almost two million Americans across countless agencies.
Curious about federal employment possibilities? Here is a comprehensive A-Z index of all US government agencies and departments.
The US federal government uses eligibility requirements to weed out applicants and identify top candidates. Eligibility requirements therefore vary based on many factors including agency, department, and job function.
For more info check out our post on Eligibility Requirements for Federal Employment.
Some Federal jobs require applicants to submit a narrative statement (KSAs, MTQs, and ECQs) as a separate document from your Federal Resume.
These narrative statements are not included with the Federal Resume. However, we’re happy to prepare KSAs, MTQs, or ECQs for an additional charge (quoted on an individual basis for each unique project).
Federal Resume includes a matching (optional) Cover Letter which may be added or removed from your order using the dropdowns below the FAQs.
Additionally, this service includes access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free for you to download within the client portal.
