Sound familiar?
If this is you, a coach can help
- Your agency announced a reduction in force or a hiring freeze, and you want a plan whether or not your position is affected.
- Your resume was built for USAJOBS: dense, duty-based and full of program language that private-sector recruiters skim past.
- You're a GS-13 or GS-14 aiming for GS-15 or the Senior Executive Service and want to know what selecting officials look for beyond time in grade.
- You work in state or local government or at a federal agency, and a contractor or private employer wants your program experience. You need to know what that role is worth and how to talk about your work.
What you get
Built for a public-service career
A coach who knows government hiring
Get matched with a coach who knows how federal, state and local agencies hire and promote, and how contractors and private employers read a government background.
A resume private employers will read
Your coach helps you turn a duty-based federal resume into a short, results-based one that leads with budgets managed, programs delivered and problems solved.
Mission work, translated
Program management, policy, acquisition, grants and compliance all have private-sector equivalents. Your coach helps you name them and target the roles that fit.
A plan to move up inside government
If you're staying, your coach helps you prepare for GS-14, GS-15 and SES selections: the applications, the structured interviews and the visibility that gets you considered.

Questions
Federal and government career coaching FAQ
Can a coach help me turn my federal resume into a private-sector resume?
Yes. It's one of the first things government clients work on. Your coach helps you cut the duty statements, lead with outcomes, swap agency terms for the ones a private-sector hiring manager uses, and get the document down to a length recruiters will read.
My agency is going through a reduction in force. Where do I start?
Start with a clear picture of your options and timeline. Your coach helps you map target roles inside and outside government, update your resume and LinkedIn, and start conversations early. For questions about RIF rights, retirement or benefits, talk to your agency HR office or a qualified advisor.
I want to reach GS-15 or the Senior Executive Service. Can coaching help?
Yes. Your coach helps you build the record selecting officials look for at that level: leading people, leading change, and owning budgets and results. You'll also prepare for structured interviews and write applications that show impact at the grade you're targeting.
What if my coach isn't the right fit?
Tell us within 48 hours of your first session and we'll re-match you or refund you. That's our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
