🔹 Resume Services
How is a federal-to-private resume different from a federal resume?
A federal resume is longer and highly detailed, often including KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities). In contrast, a private-sector resume is concise (1-2 pages), keyword-optimized, and achievement-focused to meet corporate hiring standards.
How long does it take to get my resume?
Our standard turnaround time is 48 hours. If you need it sooner, we offer rush delivery for an additional fee.
Will my resume be ATS-optimized?
Yes! We ensure all resumes are Applicant Tracking System (ATS)-compliant, meaning they are formatted with keywords, skills, and industry-specific language to pass screening software.
Can I request edits after receiving my resume?
Yes! We offer one round of free revisions to ensure your resume meets your expectations.
🔹 Cover Letter Services
Why do I need a custom cover letter?
A generic cover letter won’t get you noticed. We create personalized, compelling cover letters that connect your federal experience to the private sector, increasing your chances of landing an interview.
Do you tailor cover letters for specific jobs?
Yes! We customize cover letters based on the industry and job type you’re targeting.
🔹 30/60/90-Day Plan Services
What is a 30/60/90-day plan?
It’s a strategic career plan that outlines your goals, contributions, and value in the first 30, 60, and 90 days of your new job. It’s often used in executive and management interviews to showcase your readiness.
Do I need a 30/60/90-day plan for all jobs?
