Your resume must be detailed (mine is 10 pages, documenting 25 years), it's a wordsmith game to achieve certification followed by a selection panel review to score against other candidates. Leverage USAjobs position description to augment your word picture in resume. Finally, work to get an advocate inside organization to which are applying, that will help increase chances for interview. Good luck!

My wife got a program manager GS-13 position after she left the Army as a Captain. I've posted some tips before for getting a GS job, but surprisingly people on here always claim that I'm wrong and don't understand the system. As such, if you want any advice just send me a message.

Design your resume like a Federal Resume should be done, with keywords straight from the job description.
It also helps to know people, as many jobs are filled before they are posted.
