SES Five Page All-Inclusive

What Are the Different Types of SES Resumes?

As you search for SES resume examples to follow, you’ll likely notice variations in structure, formatting and content. These differences occur because different agencies and positions have unique application package requirements. Generally speaking, there are four main types of SES resumes:

A traditional SES resume focuses on your leadership competencies. We use best practices to ensure your resume highlights your accomplishments, technical skills, and scope of experience. We help give your application package an attention-grabbing presentation and demonstrates a mastery of executive language.

This type of resume we call All-Inclusive is five-pages and all five Leadership Competencies must be addressed in the resume. This entails a five-page SES resume and up to 10 pages of ECQ documentation. The 28 executive core competencies are required to be addressed throughout each respective ECQ, in addition to TQs, if required. The ECQs are developed following the CCAR (Challenge-Context-Action-Result) model.

This type of application package includes a four-page resume with a cover letter or a five-page resume without a cover letter. Instead of ECQs, the federal agency will specify five executive competencies that you must address. These executive competencies may include:

  • Leading Change
  • Leading People
  • Results Driven
  • Business Acumen
  • Building Coalitions

The hiring agency selects and replaces competencies at its own discretion, so it’s essential to follow the job-specific application instructions.

Positions listed on the USAJobs website allow for resumes that are up to 5,000 characters per job block in length. ECQ character limits range from 4,000 to 8,000 characters. ECQs for USAJobs postings should follow SES best practices, including adherence to the CCAR method.

First Read the Federal Job Vacancy for Instructions

It is imperative that you read each SES application in its entirety prior to writing your package. Different agencies sometimes change SES resume requirements from fax and email to mail-in only, as well as regarding, SES resume page length, ECQ character count, and font and margin requirements. Any application submission that deviates from what is requested on the specific vacancy announcement will most likely be rejected.
