Leaving federal service? The record that got you promoted is not the one that gets you hired outside.
Federal workforce reductions are real and they are ongoing. Executive Order 14210, signed February 11, 2025, directs agencies to hire no more than one employee for every four who depart. Whatever brought you to this page, you are not the only one on the market, and generic applications are what everyone else is sending.
The problem is not that your experience is weak. It is that a private-sector reader cannot price it. A grade is not a job title, a program is not a product, and the achievements that a promotion board understood at a glance need to be restated in money, headcount, and outcomes before anyone outside government can value them.
We are a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Springfield, Virginia, in the Washington DC metro, with a second office in Virginia Beach. The people who do this work include 17 former federal hiring managers, so the translation is done by people who have read both kinds of resume from the deciding side.
What to watch out for while you are shopping
-
Where your data goes. Low-cost services routinely send your SF-50 and your clearance details offshore. Ours never leave our US team.
-
Who is actually writing it. A writer who has never seen a federal position description cannot translate one, and it shows in the first paragraph.
-
Your privacy while you look. Your search is yours. Nothing we do identifies you to anyone until you approve it.
Every package includes a core federal-to-private-sector resume, a tailored cover letter, and a window of retargeting so the second posting is a re-aim rather than a rewrite. The retargeting window and turnaround are stated on each package below, because they differ by tier.

If you later want a full job search campaign
Our job search campaigns include resume work, so we would rather you did not pay for it twice. If you add a campaign within 10 days of your resume order, the full price of this resume comes off the campaign price, even if you bought it at the military rate. Tell us and we will send you a checkout link at the adjusted price.
It applies to the 30, 45 and 60 day campaigns, not the 2-day trial. Our campaigns cover federal roles as well as private sector. On a federal announcement we find it, check that you genuinely meet the requirements, and build your targeted resume and questionnaire preparation to what that announcement and current OPM guidance require. You submit it from your own USAJOBS account.
