USAJOBS Resume Best Practices
Per the Merit Hiring Plan, all federal resumes are not to exceed two pages as of September 27. USAJOBS has created a technical solution that will limit resumes to two pages when submitting applications or using the USAJOBS resume builder. Below are some best practices from the Call to Serve Team when navigating these changes and rewriting the federal resume. 
Content: 

• Prioritize recent work experience that is most relevant to the duties and qualifications listed on the job announcement. “Recent experience” and “relevant experience” are not the same thing. De-prioritize or remove non-relevant and outdated work experience.
• Align any work experience on the resume to qualifications listed on the job announcement.
• Use plain language that is understood by HR specialists and hiring managers. When you apply for a job, an HR Specialist will most likely review your resume first to determine whether you are qualified for the job.
• Use language that is results focused and includes numbers and metrics to quantify your work.
• You can include volunteer work, internships, and other non-paid work; these will still count towards your total years of experience.
• Ask yourself: Can the HR professional reading this, who may not have direct experience in my fiend, understand my experience in 10-15 seconds?

Formatting:

• USAJOBS recommends using at a minimum of .5 margins, 10-pt size font for main content and 14-pt size for headings.
• Use a font that is easy to read, such as Lato, Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Source Sans Pro, Roboto or Noro Sans.
• Uploading a PDF resume is the best practice to maintain formatting and the number of pages, but many file types are accepted.

Make your resume searchable:

• Recruiters may contact people in their database to apply for jobs not posted on USAJOBS or only available at career fairs.
• Resumes can only be searchable for 18 months, and only 1 resume at a time can be searchable.  
• Only 1–2-page resumes will be searchable; all resumes that were previously searchable expired on September 27th, so USAJOBS users will need to go back and update the searchable resume.

USAJOBS will not delete or remove any resumes or profiles after September 27th. However, existing uploaded resumes will be seen as ineligible if they are longer than 2 pages. The Partnership expects there will be more updates and opportunities to learn more about the changes to federal resumes and other hiring considerations in the federal government. To stay up to date, we encourage Call to Serve Network members to follow USAJOBS and OPM on LinkedIn.

USAJOBS Career Explorer
The USAJOBS Career Explorer helps job seekers find occupations in the federal government that align with their career interests. Job seekers answer a series of questions that result in a matched list of federal occupational series. The list offers explanations of jobs in plain language and links to relevant open job announcements. The Career Explorer covers over 300 occupations in the General Schedule and Wage Grade pay scale.  

Early Career Page
The Early Career Page is a central hub of information and resources for students, recent graduates and non-college degree seeking individuals who are early in their career. Information on the page includes the benefits of working for the federal government, tips to navigate the federal application process and best practices for federal resumes. The page also links to the Federal Internship Portal and the Recent Graduate Portal to easily connect page visitors to these early career jobs. 

Federal Internship Finder
