Wakefield,
New Hampshire, USA (March 25, 2015)
-- Distinctive
Career Services, LLC,
career and resume consultants for professionals and executives for
nearly 20 years, has added a new resume writing service specifically
designed for professionals seeking a career with the federal
government. The new federal
resume writing services
are designed to assist job seekers in highlighting and promoting the
unique skills and qualifications required to be considered for work
in the federal sector.
There
are millions of civilian jobs and the federal government is seeking
new talent all the time, but few professionals understand what it
takes to navigate the federal job application process, including what
hiring managers look for in a resume.
On
average, there are 250 resumes submitted for every job opening. That
means an applicant has 15 seconds or less to stand out. In addition,
government agencies require detailed resumes that include elements
not typical in resumes written for the private sector. The resulting
three- to five-page federal resume must also be structured in a
prescribed format. If a federal job candidate does not follow the
application instructions and can't immediately demonstrate he or she
has the right expertise and the right credentials then their resume
will never be considered. That's why Distinctive Career Services has
created as specialized practice for government job seekers staffed by
experts experienced in federal resume writing.
"Every
job market has unique requirements and that's especially true for
federal workers," said Michelle Dumas, founder and Executive
Director of Distinctive Career Services. "It's essential to
highlight specific skills and qualifications, such as veteran status,
language skills, and security clearance. Federal job screeners are
looking for very specific qualifications, and our team of resume
experts know what those criteria are based on years of experience. If
you are looking for a job with the government we can help you
demonstrate that you have the right qualifications to rise above the
crowd."
In
addition to federal resume writing, Dumas and the team of career
professionals at Distinctive Career Services offer a wide range of
career support services, including cover letter writing, LinkedIn
profile writing, job search assistance, and personal branding
strategies. Dumas herself holds both Certified Professional Resume
Writer (CPRW) and Nationally Certified Resume Writer (NCRW)
credentials, and is a trained career coach and a Certified Personal
Branding Strategist (CPBS) with credentials as a Certified Employment
Interview Professional (CEIP) and a Job & Career Transition Coach
(JCTC).
