Upcoming Webinars

Federal resume writing is entering a new era, and the rules, assumptions, and strategies that once guided our profession are quickly evolving for the first time in decades. Resume writers are facing a critical question: Are we preparing our clients for the federal hiring landscape as it exists today, or the one we've grown accustomed to? In this webinar, federal resume writing expert Alexine Garcia takes a hard look at the myths that continue to circulate throughout the industry, the costly mistakes that can derail an otherwise qualified applicant, and the emerging opportunities that forward-thinking resume writers cannot afford to overlook.

From the shift to two-page federal resumes to the nuances of demonstrating qualifications within increasingly restrictive formats, this session goes beyond surface-level advice to examine what these changes mean for our craft, our clients, and expanding our reach. Expect candid insights and practical strategies that will equip you to navigate the changing federal employment landscape with confidence. Because in a profession built on helping others advance, staying informed isn't simply an advantage; it's the only way forward.
