Resume Tips
A resume is your introduction to hiring managers and should be carefully crafted to present yourself and your abilities in the best way possible. Please remember, your resume for any position in the federal government must be highly structured and include specific data that may not be required in the private sector. You must make sure your resume conforms to federal requirements and includes personal information, experience, education and qualifications. Always ensure that your resume is easy to read, well edited and grammatically correct.
