Using Federal Resumes for Non-Federal / DoD Positions

While you could use a Federal Resume to apply to a non-federal position, it would not be in your best interest. Much of the additional information required on Federal Resumes is not required by DoD contract positions and may work against you. Submitting a powerful resume that is targeted toward DoD positions is recommended.
