[quote=Anonymous]I got my Fed job through USA Jobs, tailoring my resume using advice from DCUM. What I did was to take the posting and the list of questions, and re-word my resume so that it extensively quoted the posting & questions. So instead of saying "Tracked new developments in U.S.-Africa relations," I used "Tracked [i]U.S. national security and foreign policies [/i]related to Africa," quoting the language that USA Jobs had already given me. I did this for all the materials (posting & questions) on USA Jobs, to the point that my resume was about 75% quotes, and I'd reproduced nearly all of the material from the posting. That got my resume to he hiring official's desk, and then the rest was on me to show the skills I had. [/quote]
