On May 29, 2025, the Office of Personnel Management sent a Memo to 2 million Federal employees telling them that a 2-page Federal resume is now required, instead of the long-form, which could be 5 to 20 pages. In the 10th Edition all of the resume formats have changed to the 2-Page Federal Resume format. The samples in this book will become the leading examples of 2-page Federal Resumes for the US Military installations worldwide. This book and curriculum, Ten Steps to a Federal Job(R) is taught by licensed Ten Steps to a Federal Job(R) trainers at more than half of the military bases worldwide. The guide is organized into TEN STEPS TO A FEDERAL JOB(R): learning about federal jobs; networking and utilizing competitive hiring; searching USAJOBS; finding keywords; exploring core competencies; writing a 2-page federal resume; recording accomplishments; applying for federal positions; tracking applications and following up; and preparing for interviews and negotiations.
