2026 – HERE’S WHAT’S NEW For the CFJST / CFCC Ten Steps Program
- New information about Rule of Many vs. Category Rating – Step 1
- New AI keyword method for analyzing announcements – Step 4
- More emphasis on Accomplishments for the 2-page resume – Step 6
- New 2-page Federal Resume Samples – before and after – Step 7
- Information about Military Buy Back – Step 10
- And more. Kathryn will review the new slides and the book page!
The OPM May 29, 2025 Memo stated: ‘This Merit Hiring Plan will prohibit the current longform Federal resume structure. Instead, there will be a 2-page limit on resume length. This will make resume review easier and make it easier for employees to move between the private and Federal sectors.’‘
