Advantage Program

The Advantage Program is the ultimate career enhancement program.  It is designed for transitioning service members who are interested in both private sector and Federal employment.  The Advantage Program combines the service elements of the Standard Program and the Federal Program with other value-added services, to create the most comprehensive marketing program that we offer.    

The Advantage Program includes all of the following services:

Federal Résumé-

Our Federal résumé writers will create a résumé that is highly conducive to the Office of Personnel Management’s Federal application system.  Clients will receive a Federal résumé that can be used to apply for a majority of Federal position and will eliminate the need to submit an OF-612.  

Federal Cover Letter-

Since some agencies will not allow applicants to submit online résumés, our writers will also create a cover letter to accompany the Federal résumé.  The Federal cover letter will follow a specific format, however it will still contain a compelling sales message.

KSA Critique and Editing Recommendations-

Federal job announcements will often require a statement of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA).  These statements serve as evaluation criteria and will occasionally be the deciding factor between being rated “highly-qualified”, “qualified”, and “does not qualify”.  Clients' will have the opportunity to submit as many as five KSAs for critique, announcement analysis, and editing recommendations.

Résumé Enhancement-

Our Creative Writing Dept. prepares skillfully designed résumés that utilize the latest direct response techniques to generate responses from prospective employers, i.e. interviews.  We do not simply list clients’ previous duties, job titles, accomplishments, and then attempt to use as many ‘action’ verbs as possible.   We produce distinctive résumés that translate clients’ skills and abilities into a language that taps into hiring managers’ needs and desires.  We strive to create persuasive sales documents, not advertising documents.

Cover Letters-

Each client’s résumé is accompanied by a well-written and extremely compelling cover letter.  Our résumés and cover letters are designed to work together.  The cover letter methodically states specific claims that appeal to hiring managers while the résumé substantiates these claims with detailed evidence. 

Distribution Service-

We will create a personalized database of 120 companies that are either in our professional relationship network or have been recently researched and analyzed by our R&R department.  Your résumé, along with a personalized cover letter, will be sent to each company.  Once your materials have been deployed, we will send you the database of companies and contacts that received them.  Thus, you will have a record of each person that contacts you.

Follow-up Letters-

One of the most important tasks of a successful job campaign is following up.  This is a time consuming and tedious process. With the Advantage Program, we take care of this for you for up to three months.
