CALL TO SERVE | FEDERAL RESUMES

Your resume is one of the most critical parts of any job application. Federal resumes, however, may be slightly different than the resumes you are used to writing. While a typical job application may require you to summarize your work history into a one-page document, your federal resume should be more detailed and may be 1-3 pages longer than your current resume.
