Federal Resumes  

Just as the resume is the cornerstone of a successful career search campaign, so to is the Federal Resume for federal career search campaigns. The federal resume application procedures can be daunting and complicated, but persistence pays dividends by landing a federal position. Federal employment offers a number of benefits: stable employment, federal holidays, generous leave time, room for advancement, and there are no longer any pay restrictions for military officers.

The federal government currently boasts the opening of over 50,000 positions, many of which will fill critical needs in airports and security posts due to the September 11 attacks, and IT positions to help the dot.com layoffs.

In the mid 90s, the federal government deregulated application and resume procedures and currently accepts a number of types of resumes. The SF171 (the most commonly recognized federal application, is now obsolete, however, still accepted in some agencies), the OF612 replaced the SF171 and is accepted in some agencies, but the most highly accepted applications are the "Federally Formatted Resume" and the "Resumix".

Career Marketing Techniques is current with federal applications and vacancy announcement procedures. We understand the timelines for submitting federal resumes and resumixes and we write keyword resumes to ensure you qualify for federal positions.

Diane lived and worked in Germany for nine years, refining her expertise for writing and submitting federal resumes. Career Marketing Techniques recognizes the vast differences between corporate sector application & resume procedures and federal government procedures. Many clients call and say, "I submitted my resume for a federal position months ago, and I have never heard back. Can you help me?" In many cases, these individuals submitted a "two page, corporate style resume" as opposed to a proper Federally Formatted Resume or electronic Resumix. Once Career Marketing Techniques writes their federal resume, they qualify for federal employment.
