After that, pay for the announcement in front of you, or for the season. What each plan includes, what a specialist charges for the same work, and the numbers behind the check, all on this page.

What each dollar buys
Every plan runs the same twelve-rule check, the same rewrite under the same rules, and the same second read. What you are buying is how many announcements, and for how long.
On every plan, including free
What changes between plans
Against a specialist
A federal resume writer sees one announcement, once. Referred does the same announcement up to five times for less than a quarter of an hour of a specialist's time.
A federal resume writer, one resume, typical2
A federal resume specialist, one hour1
Referred, a season: six months, any number of announcements
Referred, one announcement, up to five rewrites
Scale to $600. The same guide puts the full range at $149 to over $2,500 for one resume2. A season of Referred is any number of announcements for six months, and every rewrite says which rule it meets.
How good is it
We won't claim a success rate we haven't measured. What we can show is what each option does with your resume and the announcement, line by line. Where it depends on the person, we say so.
Why not do it yourself
Until 26 September 2025
Three to five pages
What most templates, guides and writing packages still say. Following it today makes the application ineligible.
From 27 September 2025
Two pages, or ineligible
For applications through USAJOBS under Title 5. Title 38 clinical positions are exempt, and the check knows which is which.
“If the only resume received by an applicant is longer than two pages, the applicant is ineligible for further consideration.”
You can do it yourself. The check is free so that you can.
The rule is new and the advice is old.
The two-page limit was announced on 2 September 2025 and took effect on the 27th. Most of what a search turns up predates it.
The rejection never names the rule.
The notice reads: “Your application is not being considered due to not meeting the resume page number requirement.” Nothing tells you which requirement, or what else was wrong.
Some requirements are almost unknown outside the federal system.
Hours worked per week, on every role. Month and year on every date. A GPA figure wherever a GPA is mentioned.
The announcement is the other half.
Who may apply, the closing date, the documents it demands, and its stated requirements in its own words. Reading those out by hand, for every announcement, is the part people skip.
The numbers
Every figure on this page has a source you can open. Nothing here is a success rate, because we haven't measured one yet and won't invent it.
We don't train a model on your data. We test the rules against real announcements, 6,000 of them, pulled from USAJOBS in September 20266.

Announcements whose stated requirements were found
1 of 4,790
Requirement clauses a blank filing clerk's resume was said to address, so a match means the words are really there
Fewer announcements and the same applicants means more competition for each one. An application that is ineligible on a formality is one you never get back.
The strategy
A rules engine before a writer.
The rules changed in September 2025 and will change again; a model's memory won't. So the check is ordinary code with a citation on every row, kept current by hand and measured on real announcements. It is far slower to build than a prompt, which is the point.
No invented facts, even when it looks worse.
A rewrite that guesses looks more finished. Ours asks you, or leaves a marker. A federal application is certified, and a confident fabrication in it is your problem, not the tool's.
The check runs on your device.
Your file never reaches us. There is nothing of yours for us to keep, leak or train on, and the check is free because it costs us nothing to run.
A second opinion the writer can't influence.
A separate model scores the rewrite blind, and then the twelve rules run again. The count you see is that second check, not the writer grading itself.
