A federal resume built to answer exactly what HR is scoring.

The specialized experience the announcement names. The dates and hours that prove it. The length that gets it read. Built for veterans and other federal applicants, one real announcement at a time.

No placement promise. Work starts after payment.

what hr checks

  • ✓Specialized experience matched to Qualifications, not paraphrased from Duties
  • ✓Month/year dates and hours per week on every position
  • ✓Length that fits the announcement's own limit
  • ✓Veterans' preference, Schedule A, or Pathways documentation, when it applies

the problem

Federal HR specialists aren't permitted to infer your experience. They can only credit what's written on the page, matched to the language of the announcement you applied to. A strong record described in terms that don't echo that language, military or otherwise, often can't be connected to the job, no matter how qualified the person behind it actually is.

Since September 2025, OPM guidance has capped most federal resumes at two pages, reversing decades of advice that told applicants to document everything across five pages or more. Some HR specialists decline resumes that run long during the first review. The same experience now has to be proven in a fraction of the space, addressed to the specific experience the announcement names, not the general duties of the job.

Most applicants respond with a private-sector resume missing the fields federal HR requires, an outdated five-page format built for rules that no longer apply, or an AI tool that writes clean sentences with no real connection to the posting. This service does one thing instead: it takes your record and writes it into the specific experience language of one announcement, in the length that announcement allows, by someone who has spent decades navigating federal hiring himself, as a service member and as a current federal employee.

The process is multi-pass. A person still reads every line before it's called finished. That's not the product. The resume is the product.

the difference

Most federal resume help falls into one of two camps: a flat-rate template mill that outputs the same document structure for everyone, or a boutique writing service billed by the hour, often with a deposit before work starts and a balance due on delivery, so the real cost isn't clear until the invoice arrives. This is priced flat, in the open, before anything begins, and built new for your announcement, not pulled from a shared template.

Revisions aren't capped at one pass the way budget services structure them, and they aren't open-ended either. They continue until the resume answers that announcement's specialized experience, because a resume graded against the wrong yardstick doesn't improve by being revised once.

The writing itself runs through a verification pass before you ever see it. Each claim in the draft gets checked against what you actually sent, not against what sounds plausible for someone with your background. If a line doesn't trace back to something in your history, it's flagged and corrected at that specific line, not smoothed over or left in. That's the difference between a tool that generates confident-sounding text and one that's accountable to what you actually did.

how it works

  1. 01 Send the announcement.The intake form asks for the USAJOBS control number or the full posting, plus your work history in whatever shape it's already in: bullet points, an old resume, a rough timeline. Most people fill it out in about ten minutes. You'll get a confirmation once it's in, and the work starts from there.
  2. 02 It gets matched to that announcement.Your experience is mapped directly to the specialized experience language in Qualifications, not paraphrased from the Duties section. HR evaluates those two sections differently, and conflating them is one of the most common reasons qualified applicants don't get referred.
  3. 03 You get a file ready to submit.A resume sized to that announcement's limit, dated the way HR requires, with a short note on veterans' preference, Schedule A, or Pathways eligibility when it applies. You submit the application yourself.
Typical turnaround: 5 business days after the announcement and history are complete. If the posting closes sooner, say so in the intake.

who it's for

Built first for veterans. Open to any federal applicant.

Priority of Service means veterans are where this service starts, and where the deepest experience is. It's also open to any applicant with a real federal announcement, including recent graduates and applicants whose path to federal service looks different.

Veterans

Your service record doesn't translate to a resume on its own. This puts it into the specialized experience language HR is scoring against, with a plain checklist on preference documentation and Schedule A where it applies. Written by a retired senior leader and 100% VA-rated veteran who has been in the applicant's seat himself.

Recent graduates

Most federal opportunities at this stage come through Pathways internships and student trainee roles, not competitive GS-9 positions. If you're enrolled in or accepted to a qualifying school, that's the door this resume is built for.

A different path

Same resume, matched to whichever door your situation opens: still in school, a disability-related hiring authority, or enough experience to compete directly. The intake identifies which one applies. If there's no federal announcement behind it, this isn't the right service, and that gets said plainly.

Applicants under 18 require a guardian on file before work begins.

pricing

One announcement package

$449

One resume, sized and dated to that announcement, matched to its specialized experience language. Up to three revisions to keep it aligned with that same announcement. Veteran clients get the preference and Schedule A checklist included. You file the application.

Additional announcement

$179

A second tailoring of the same base history to a different posting.

Multiple announcements

$699

Three announcements, each tailored individually, bundled as one purchase for applicants working more than one federal opening at a time.

Three rounds of revision are built into the $449 price, enough to get the resume right for that announcement. A revision refines the same resume against the same posting. Tailoring it to a different announcement is a new package, priced above, not a free revision.

Not included: filing the application, interview coaching, a guarantee of referral or selection.

No refunds. Writing a resume takes real time regardless of the outcome, and whether a resume is good is a judgment call, not something a refund can be measured against. Any dispute raised before the final file is delivered is handled individually, case by case.

Private sector resumes are available separately. Email to start that intake.

SES and ECQ resumes aren't a standard package yet. That's not where the deepest experience is, and pricing that reflects the work properly is still being developed. If you need one now, email to discuss scope directly.

your information

This service asks for what it actually takes to write one resume: your work history and the announcement you're applying to. It doesn't ask for a Social Security number, a date of birth, or any banking information, because none of that is needed to build a federal resume.

A throwaway email works fine for the intake if you'd rather not use a personal one. You can replace it with your real contact information yourself once the finished resume is in hand.

Payment runs through PayPal, so card and bank details go to PayPal directly. This business never collects or stores them.

Anything sent for the intake is deleted on request, at any time.

faq

Does this guarantee an interview or a job?

No. It's one resume, built so the qualifications review can see the match for one announcement. Nothing past that point is promised.

How long does this take?

5 business days from when your announcement and history are complete. If the announcement closes sooner, say so in the intake.

How many revisions do I get?

Three, built into the price. Each one refines the resume against the same announcement it was written for. A different announcement is a new package, not a revision.

Do you offer refunds?

No. The time and work that goes into a resume is real whether or not the outcome satisfies you, and resume quality is inherently a judgment call, not something refundable. If something comes up before the final file is delivered, reach out and it'll be handled individually.

What if my current file is over the page limit?

It gets rebuilt, not trimmed. The information from what you send that's actually relevant to the position gets extracted using USAJOBS' current resume-writing guidance as the standard, then written in the length and format that guidance requires.

Do you write private sector resumes too?

Yes. Email to start that intake.

Do you write SES or ECQ resumes?

Not as a standard package yet. It isn't where the deepest experience is, and pricing that reflects that work properly needs more development first. Email to discuss scope if you need one now.

My child is under 18 and eligible for a Pathways internship.

Yes, with a guardian on the form and current enrollment or acceptance at a qualifying school.

What counts as a qualifying school?

Any accredited high school, trade or vocational school, community college, four-year college, or graduate program. It's a broader definition than just a four-year university, so most current students and recent graduates already meet it.
