A resume that highlights all the important skills and experience that you can bring to a job is a critical step on the path to success. However, not all resumes are created equal, so we want to offer you some tips to help you get the most out of your resume.
If you’re not sure where to start, you can use the federal resume builder on USAJOBS to begin the process. This has the added bonus of putting all your information in one easily accessible place that can be linked directly to any application.
But where should you go from there? Ask yourself the following questions:
Do I have a master resume that covers all my experience?
Have I read the job announcement?
Have I tailored my resume to match the job announcement?
Did I proofread my resume?
No, seriously, did I proofread my resume?
Some of these questions may seem like common sense, but they also include some of the most common mistakes made by applicants. Take nothing for granted when building your resume, and you will be taking the first step on the path toward success.
