When applying to a government job, you need to submit a Federal resume, which is a resume that is specifically formatted according to goverment guidelines. Not following these guidelines would get your application disqualified even if you meet all the job requirements.
Here is a list of elements that should be included in your Federal resume:
The job information: announcement number, job title and grade title.
Your contact information: Full name, phone number, address, e-mail, country of citizenship and social security number.
Veteran’s preference: if you’re eligible for it (available for retired Military personnel).
Reinstatement eligibility: if you’re eligible for it (available for former Federal employees).
Education: from high school to your highest degree.
Experience: job titles with dates and duties, usually listed in chronological order.
