[x]Professional Biography (Bio)
A Bio is written in essay style and details the most fundamental moments, contributions, and style of your career. Generally one page (3-6 paragraphs), it focuses on your most current achievements and works backwards in reverse chronological order. A Bio is utilized for speaking engagements, company Websites, and portfolios used for marketing, job searches, and similar promotional activities.
[x]Strategic Follow-up Letters
A strategic follow-up letter is sent following an interview. More than an ordinary thank-you letter, a strategic follow-up letter strengthens the interviewer's perception of you while addressing any potential concerns that may have been raised during the interview. It also provides an opportunity to add related skills, abilities, and interests, or any other information you did not think of in the interview — which may have a bearing on your candidacy.
Since there will typically be several top candidates competing for the position, each with various tradeoffs regarding strengths and liabilities, a strategic follow-up letter helps nudge that often difficult decision in your favor.
[x]Additional Resume and Cover Letter Targets
When pursuing jobs that are significantly different (in industry or responsibilities), it is best to modify your resume and cover letter to reflect the skill set sought in each type of position.
This can be especially true when the skills are non-complementary, or when one option is a hands-on position and the other is a management position. Emphasizing skills other than those sought by an employer may raise questions about your interest level in a particular position.
Rewriting your resume for appropriate emphasis on different skill sets will sell your abilities relative to the type of position you are pursuing.

Federal & Military
Promote your Qualifications with a Strategic Resume
Federal Resumes & Narrative Statements (KSAs, ECQs)
A Federal Resume may now be used in lieu of the uninspiring OF-612 or SF-171 application forms; however, it must still comply with the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) OF-510 requirements. If written well, a Federal Resume will maximize your opportunities by showcasing your appropriate qualifications and achievements.
Federal Resumes often require accompanying narrative statements, which typically address specific elements regarding your knowledge, skills, and abilities relevant to a specific job series or position. Your responses to these questions are graded and are critical to the success of your Federal application. Additionally, Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) will be required, along with a Federal Resume, for entry into the Federal government's Senior Executive Service.
Military Transition Resumes
If you have completed a military career, you have a unique set of skills and capabilities to offer. Your skills are desirable to a civilian employer — if the employer clearly understands how your skills relate to their organization and requirements.
As an experienced professional, you need to be appropriately portrayed as having the skills necessary to meeting new challenges in a civilian environment. Your resume must show that you consistently deliver results in order to create a compelling value proposition. We craft a job-winning resume by converting your military history — such as job titles and experience — into civilian terminology while showcasing your most relevant skills and achievements.
Whether applying to the Federal or private sector, our proprietary skill analysis questionnaire (SkillNet™) will draw out essential areas of your background that, depending upon your circumstances, will include your experience, training, achievements, and academic or avocational background. You may also include a previously prepared resume and other documents. We will then determine which elements to showcase to best support your career goals.
