The Problem

Why qualified candidates get rejected

1

Missing mandatory fields

Forgot “Hours per week”? Auto-rejected. Missing “Supervisor Contact”? Disqualified. Our audit catches these specific OPM fatal errors instantly.

2

The 2-page trap

The new Merit Hiring Plan limits many resumes to strict page counts. Our builder condenses your experience without deleting your accomplishments.

3

Keyword mismatches

Your experience might qualify you, but if it doesn't match the announcement language exactly, you're filtered out.

Built for Federal Success

Every field HR expects. Nothing missing.

Our guided forms walk you through every OPM-required field—hours per week, supervisor contacts, salary history, and CCAR accomplishments. No more guessing what federal HR needs to see.

FAQ

Common questions

Why can't I use my regular resume for federal jobs?

Federal resumes require specific information not found on private sector resumes: hours per week, supervisor contact info, salary history, and detailed descriptions of duties. Missing any of these can result in automatic disqualification.

How long should a federal resume be?

Unlike private sector resumes (1-2 pages), federal resumes are typically 3-5 pages. They need comprehensive detail about your experience, accomplishments, and qualifications.

What is the CCAR format?

CCAR stands for Context-Challenge-Action-Result. It's the federal standard for describing accomplishments. Our builder guides you through each component to ensure your achievements are presented correctly.

Do I need a different resume for each job?

Yes, tailoring your resume to each job announcement significantly increases your chances. Our AI auditor compares your resume against specific job requirements to help you optimize for each application.

What's included in the export?

You get a properly formatted PDF ready for USAJOBS upload, plus a compliance checklist and application notes. Unlimited plan members can export as many times as needed.
