CareerProPlus shares 40 years of expertise in crafting interview-winning resumes.
Many of our clients are asking for their federal resumes to be transitioned into private sector resumes due to government downsizing and reorganization.
Federal and private sector resumes are very different. Remember to write to the position or career field you are applying for. The job market is very competitive, and you want to ensure your resume hits the mark.
