Federal Resume vs. Traditional Resume  \n􀂙 Length: When applying for federal internships or entry-level jobs, students can expect to have their resume be anywhere from 2 to 4 pages rather than the usual one page. This is due to the level of detail and required information that is needed for a federal resume.  \n􀂙 Level of detail: In order to create an effective federal resume you will need to go into more detail when explaining your duties and accomplishments in order to fully inform the employer of your background. The agency uses this information as a tool to assess your background and experience. If an employer notes a specific certification or skill set in a job description, make sure it is reflected on your resume.  \n􀂙 Required Information: Federal resumes require additional information such as the names of your supervisors, their contact information, your wages or salary, the amount of hours worked per week, the locations of your employment history, as well as start and end dates for those positions.  \nII. Best Practices  \n􀂙 Be clear and concise: Although you should be thorough in your resume you should not take two or three sentences to explain something when it can be done in one.  \n􀂙 Address all periods of time: If there are gaps in your work history make sure to address them in your resume.  \n􀂙 Amend resume to fit the position: If you possess a skill set that you feel would be beneficial or directly relates to the position you are applying for, be sure you indicate it on your resume.  \n􀂙 Highlight skills and strengths with examples: Make sure to provide a specific example of when or how you successfully utilized a particular skill or strength.  \n􀂙 Be consistent with format: Your resume should maintain a consistent format in regards to font sizes, font styles, and section placement so that the reader can quickly and easily review your resume.  \n􀂙 Include a cover letter: This will show initiative to the employer even when not required in the application process.  \n􀂙 No acronyms: Do not use acronyms in your resume. If you must include one then be sure to write the full name of the acronym being used.  \nIII.
