What is a Federal Résumé? |
|
|
A Federal
Résumé
differs from a "private industry" style résumé in
that it is quite a bit more in-depth. Normal
"private industry" style résumés are typically 1-2 pages
long whereas our Federal Résumés are usually at least 5
pages long.
Federal hiring standards
demand extensive information about your qualifications,
skills and experience. Because the hiring
officials can only make their determinations based on
the information provided in your federal application and
résumé, it is extremely important to be thorough and
forthcoming with information.
At Loomis
Hannah, we
have the expertise to ensure that your Federal Résumé
will address the pertinent information needed to meet the standards for your target position. Our
Federal
Résumés
are very well received among hiring panels and
are being
paid commendations at Regional levels.

Why choose Loomis Hannah
for my
Federal Résumé?
|
|
|
At Loomis Hannah, our
Federal Résumé writing services start at $225.00 (for
lower GS levels) and range to $585.00 (for upper
GS-levels). Our Federal Résumés are typically
between 6-13 pages long for wildland firefighters and
federal land management agency employees.
We have successfully assisted federal firefighters -
from GS-3 Forestry Aid positions to GS-11 fire program
managers - in landing highly competitive positions.
The average price for
Federal Résumé writing services from other companies
is approximately $350.00 and can exceed $850.00.
However, you'll walk away with only a 4-5 page résumé -
which runs the risk of not meeting the hiring standards.
Also expect to pay $65-$125/hr for editing and for KSA
writing services. We charge $45/hr for
editing/proofreading/typesetting and $75 for KSA
responses.
Not only are our prices
very reasonable, but our operational background and
writing experience lends enormous credibility to
our
client's
Federal Résumés.
Furthermore, at Loomis Hannah, we design our Federal
Résumés so that they can
easily transfer to the online automated hiring systems
such as AVUE, QuickHire and USAJOBS.

does this mean to you? An investment now makes
for a substantial return if you land the position you're

Does it cost anything
to get a quote or project estimate? |

Why do
you specialize in résumés for professional firefighters? |

The owner of Loomis

Having worked in the federal fire service for a number of years,

She is able to put her

into the traditional résumé formats.
Our résumés are straightforward and
hard-hitting - customized to the exact needs of every
client. |

(secure). If you would prefer to use a different
payment option, please let us know and we'll talk
through the alternatives. We require payment
upfront for most projects. |
