Numbers impress hiring managers• Highlight your performance metrics - percentages, numbers and data • Describe the specific impact you had in a particular job• Listing actual measures will go a long way with hiring officials

Sell yourself and your achievements• Don't be shy – give a reason to make you one a top candidate• Include the skills and achievements that go beyond work experience
and education. • May set resume above the rest, especially if they correspond to the
qualifications for the position.

Be concise• Delete education or experiences that do not relate to the position.• Do not assume the reader is familiar with organizations in your
resume. • Remember: the quality of the information is more important than the
quantity

Other Reminders• Check your spelling and grammar• Use a word processor or ask a peer or professional to check your spelling and
grammar
• Keep a copy of your private industry resume• Some agencies use third-party application systems that are not USAJOBS.gov
and may require a different kind of resume
