Civilian resume to
federal format
in 2 minutes.
Paste your civilian resume and a USAJobs listing — FedResume generates a properly formatted federal resume with KSAs, specialized experience, and GS-level language. No more guessing what the hiring manager wants to see.
Federal resumes are nothing like civilian resumes
The federal hiring process requires a completely different resume format. Civilian bullet points won't cut it — you need specialized experience narratives, KSAs, specific GS-level language, and compliance with USAJobs requirements. Most applicants get auto-rejected before a human ever sees their resume.
76%
of federal applications are rejected for formatting issues alone — before qualifications are even reviewed.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a civilian and federal resume?
Federal resumes are typically 3–5 pages (vs 1–2 for civilian), require hours-per-week for each position, supervisor contact info, salary history, and detailed narratives demonstrating specialized experience against specific qualification standards. They also need KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) statements matched to the job announcement.
How does FedResume work?
FedResume uses AI to analyze both your civilian resume and the target USAJobs listing. It identifies the position's qualification requirements, KSAs, and specialized experience criteria, then rewrites your experience to match — using proper federal format and GS-appropriate language.
Is $9.99 a one-time fee or subscription?
One-time. Pay once, convert one resume. Apply to multiple similar positions with the same resume, or come back and convert again for a different role at the same price.
Can I use this for military-to-federal transitions?
Absolutely. FedResume handles military experience particularly well — translating MOS descriptions, deployment experience, and military leadership into federal civilian equivalent language that HR specialists recognize.
What GS levels does it support?
FedResume calibrates language for all GS levels from GS-5 through GS-15, as well as SES-equivalent positions. The AI adjusts scope, complexity, and supervisory language to match the target grade.
Is my resume data stored or shared?
