Elliott Writer's Block Series: Crafting Compelling Federal Resumes

A Federal Resume is a professional document used by applicants who want to launch a career in the Public Sector.  In the session, we will explore how to compose your Federal Resume and identify the unique elements that must be included, which differ from other documents previously explored in the Fall in the Writer’s Block Series. In the interactive session, you will see the specific Federal Resume layout and style that are important for having a high success rate with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and impressing employers across the US Government. We will discuss how to tailor your Federal Resume to match the job descriptions for USA jobs. Finally, we will conclude with an interactive activity tying everything together via Menitmeter to conclude the session. Please bring all your questions to ask your Elliott team of coaches!
