Government Job Search: Your Federal Resume Profile on USAJOBS.gov

Thinking of applying for a government job, but you don’t have a clue about how to navigate the daunting process and wonder how (or if) you can get your brand into your application?

Federal/government jobs entice job seekers at all levels – from entry level to C-level/senior executives. Many seasoned executives want to transition away from the instability of the corporate world. Government jobs may be their ticket to career fulfillment.

For all the skinny, check out federal resume expert Camille Carboneau Roberts’ new free e-book for Job-Hunt.org, “Create an Effective Federal Resume with the NEW USAJOBS.gov Online Resume Builder.”

This guide walks you through the process, step-by-step, and offers advice on using the resume builder to your best advantage. Plenty of do’s and don’ts, FAQs, and screen shots are included throughout, to make your job easier.

You’ll learn how to make the “Additional Information” section, one often left blank by job seekers, an opportunity to brand yourself to stand out from the competition.

Here’s just some of what’s covered in the e-book:
