Major changes took effect in 2025 under the Merit Hiring Plan: (1) All resumes are now limited to 2 pages maximum—USAJOBS will block longer resumes starting September 27, 2025. (2) Four 200-word essay questions are required for GS-05+ positions. (3) Self-assessment questionnaires are eliminated in favor of skills-based assessments. (4) SES hiring now uses structured interviews instead of 10-page ECQ narratives. Our AI is fully updated for all these new requirements.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) implemented the 2-page limit as part of federal hiring reform under Executive Order 14170. The goal is to streamline hiring, make federal jobs more accessible, and align with private sector practices. As OPM stated: "No more technical, 10-15 page resumes needed." Our AI has been optimized specifically for this new requirement.
Starting October 2025, GS-05+ positions require four 200-word essays: (1) How your commitment to the Constitution inspired you to pursue federal service, (2) How you would improve government efficiency, (3) How you would help advance Executive Orders and policy priorities, and (4) Your work ethic. Responses are reviewed by hiring managers but not scored. You must certify that you wrote them yourself without AI assistance.
The 2025 Merit Hiring Plan introduced five new ECQs for Senior Executive Service: (1) Commitment to Rule of Law and American Founding, (2) Driving Efficiency, (3) Merit and Competence, (4) Leading People, and (5) Achieving Results. The old 10-page narrative essays are eliminated—candidates now undergo structured interviews based on these new ECQs.
Per OPM guidelines: Maximum 2 pages, 5MB file size or less, PDF format recommended, 0.5-inch margins, sans-serif font (Calibri, Arial, Helvetica), 10-point minimum for body text, 14-point for titles. Our builder automatically formats your resume to meet all these specifications.
When you select your target federal job series (e.g., 2210 IT Specialist, 0343 Management Analyst), our AI automatically pulls the specific OPM qualification requirements for that series and incorporates relevant keywords, competencies, and experience descriptors into your work experience sections. This ensures your resume speaks directly to what federal HR specialists are screening for.

Required elements: Contact information, relevant work experience (with employer name, job title, dates, hours per week, salary, and supervisor info), education, certifications, and security clearance if applicable. Focus on measurable accomplishments rather than duties. Our AI prioritizes the most impactful information to maximize your 2 pages.
