- Do not write your adventures. Your Federal government resume is like a personal ad and it should catch the HR manager's attention, be short enough to read through fast while at the same time stressing the most relevant achievements.
- Don't be redundant. Avoid repeating in the experience section what you wrote in the resume objective or the academic section.
- Do not use general statements in describing your experience when you can be more precise on what exactly you did and what you accomplished. Do not send your application without proof reading it several times and getting rid of any typos. Tweak keywords, remove irrelevant information and emphasize the skills that you intend to use to catch the recruiter's attention.
