New resume format

Anyone have tips on how to make the resume on Usajobs 2 pages? With all my work experience, references, & school I’m at 3 pages and that’s after cutting a bunch out. I even tried combining all my park service positions as one job and same for Forest Service.

Your references now go on a seperate document uploaded to usajobs. Not in your resume

Like a word document of just references?

Yes seperate word doc, uploaded as other documents.

This is per a mass email sent out in Region 6.

Your resume should include work experience and schooling.

Everything else uploaded in other documents.

Is there a section for that at the end of the application when you assign documents? Or do we just upload it under "Other/Miscellaneous"

We did not get this in region 3. Just say to limit to 2 pages. Was there anything linked to the email saying references had to be on a separate document? that may just be something the region wants for some reason

I guess I see that but why is the section on the builder still have a spot for references then? Shouldn’t they still be there?

I wouldn't use the builder. It defaults to double spacing. You'll have a hell of a time fitting anything beyond a few jobs on 2 pages
