•         Read the job announcement and follow directions carefully.

•         Federal resumes can be longer and require more information than private sector/non-profit resumes.

•         Searchable: Include all work experience, skills, and knowledge, including paid and unpaid jobs (internships). Similar to a curriculum vitae (CV). 

•         Tailored: Tailor your resume to include only the job relevant work and academic experience. Note NASA related projects.

•         Study job announcements to determine important keywords in your field.

•         Focus on the "requirements," "skills" or "qualifications" sections of job ads, and look for “buzzwords” and desirable credentials for your ideal job. If you have those skills, mirror these buzzwords/language on your resume. 

•         Self-certification must match experience on resume. 

•         Use action words to describe work experience such as “Managed, assisted, responded, planned, coordinated, met with, implemented, communicated with, tested, developed, spearheaded…”
