Rewriting a Federal Employee Resume for the Private Sector

I work for the federal government and needed a resume to transition to the private sector. In a federal government resume, one has to list everything. Top Resume. My resume write, Jenna, within 25 hours provided me with a two-page resume that captured my last 15 years of federal service. My resume know has impactful and "achiever" language, especially since I have been with the same employer for over 10 years. However, I have held different roles. Jenna and I went through 2-3 minor iterations of my resume. When I showed my resume to friends in the private sector, they liked the formatting, layout, language, and that it is all of two pages.

Excellent job!

My writer Mark D. did an excellent job with everything! Very detailed and listened to all my requests. Excellent job, he really knows today’s resume style formats, for both standard and federal formats. He also did my LinkedIn profile very nicely and professionally. He was very professional. Highly recommend him! Thank you Top Resume for all your help and service for a job well done!

Federal Resume

Federal Resume. I had a federal Resume done through Top Resume, and I must say, at first I was a little iffy about whether or not they could up me with a Federal Resume for Criminal Investigative Roles. But I must say, I was highly impressed with the work and Resume that I received. Not only was It precisely what I was looking for and needed, but anytime I had questions or concerns, my email's where always answered swiftly. I recommend Top Resume to anyone who has a hard time with trying to get their Resume to sound professional, is not for sure where to start when it comes to a Resume, or just want's a leg up when it comes to Resumes. These people are awesome!

Best Resume Writers!!!

Was able to get a great federal resume written by a top notch expert that was able to translate all my US Navy experience, training, evaluations and awards into terms that makes it easier for hiring officials to understand. First company that I used my Top Resume called within days. Would recommend again!

Great product, surprised me with the results.

I am 62 years old with 35 great years at one company so my resume certainly needed rehabilitation to promote my current skills. Top Resume did what they advertised. I consider myself a good writer but I was not getting traction. Bobbye T made it stellar using current formats required by digital readers. I used the services for both the Standard resume as well as the Federal resume (significantly different requirements) and immediately I was receiving contacts for good jobs and no more "rejections" at the first screen in the Federal hiring process. I had a very good experience even though it took a couple days to get connected with my writer.

Very impressed with how it was worded and put together.

I’ve written an enormous amount of evaluations for my guys in the military, and thought I could put the right words down that would accurately describe what I can offer an employer. I struggled to the point of a mental block, but TopResume was able to do it in a short amount of time! I was so impressed that I purchased a federal resume to cover all my bases.

Top Resume vs Government "Expert" Resume writer

I am an older person, trying to return to work, after a workplace injury. I was sent by by Federal Government employer to a "resume expert", and in two years, I have not received one job interview. I submitted the same resume to "TopResume" and they gave me 5 detailed pages as to how I could correct "the government expert's" resume. I found that very useful and are going to pay for their services to re-write mine. Thank you

I plan on investing in this service.

Going into this I knew my resume needed a lot of work, since I've only had experience writing resumes for military/federal jobs that have clear cut instructions on content and style. That being said, I love the fact that the turnaround on the review only took about 36-48hrs and was extremely detailed/broken down. Emily's review felt personal, as in she takes pride in it not the "just a job" mindset. And, not only did they do the review free, they give you tips on how to fix it yourself. Lastly, the review wasn't bombarded with ads/links for their services (which I believe are very reasonably priced for the investment). Thank you TopResume and Emily.

A standard resume won't cut it in the federal field

Federal job applications demand precision and adherence to strict templates—deviating from these can disqualify your application. With TopResume, you’ll get a professionally crafted federal resume that aligns with government standards, tailored to your target role. Our expert writers simplify the process, ensuring every application you submit is optimized for success.

About Our Services

Federal resumes differ from standard ones in the following ways:

  1. They require more detail and are often much longer than standard resumes. They include information about a candidate’s job series, grade level, duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments.
  2. Federal resumes use keywords and Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) statements. These statements address competencies and are what federal agencies use to evaluate candidates.
  3. Depending on the job, information about your security clearances (specifying the level and granting agency) may be required. This information is especially relevant for jobs where you will have access to classified information.
  4. Federal resumes require thorough details on your education, including the school's name, city, state, ZIP code, major, and type of degree received.

Our government resume writing service will match you with a writer based on your situation and job-seeking goals. Once matched, you two will go into more detail about the jobs you’ll be applying for and your work history. Then, your writer will get to work crafting your resume. Once you’ve reviewed it and are happy with the results, they will send you the polished document. From there, you’re ready to apply to your next great position!

At resume, we know what recruiters, hiring managers, and potential employers are looking for. Our free resume review, puts this knowledge into action and assesses how your document would perform in today’s job market. This service provides:

  • Free, confidential, personalized evaluation from trusted experts
