Federal applications play by different rules.

Federal HR specialists screen against the vacancy announcement, not against your potential. If your resume doesn't mirror the announcement's specialized-experience language — with the required fields like hours per week and series-relevant detail — you're marked unqualified before a hiring manager ever sees your name.

Current OPM guidance also caps most federal resumes at two pages, which makes every line expensive. Duties get cut; evidence tied to the announcement stays. That editorial discipline is exactly what we do.

We start from the actual vacancy announcement, not your old resume. Your experience gets mapped line-by-line to the specialized experience and competencies the announcement demands, with KSA narratives where the posting requires them and formatting that follows USAJOBS conventions exactly.

The result reads like a qualification, not an autobiography — aligned with the occupational questionnaire you'll answer, so your documents and your self-assessment tell the same story.
