Guide 2 — Cracking the Government Resume CodeYour private sector resume won't get you far in government. Not because it's bad, but because government panels read resumes differently, look for different things, and value different information. This guide shows you what that looks like in practice.Built on more than 15 years of reviewing government resumes at state and federal levels, this guide walks you through how to structure a resume that actually works in the government context. You'll learn what panels look for in the first 30 seconds of reading a resume, how to structure your work history to speak directly to capability, what to include in a career summary that does real work for you, how to present your key skills in a way that's relevant and readable, what to leave out (and why less is often more), and how to tailor your resume to a specific role without starting from scratch each time.A resume template built for government applications is included.Who this is for: Anyone preparing a resume for a government role, whether you're coming from the private sector or moving between government agencies. While these guides have been written from the Australian state and federal government perspective, they are will also largely apply for UK and Canadian government recruitment processes.
