All requests for revisions must be made the same day your federal resume is sent to you and must be accompanied with very specific substantive information (not subjective opinions) for your editor to incorporate into your federal resume. Subjective claims made by customers and/or third parties as to the quality of services will be ignored since services are provided in accordance with these particular terms only.

All federal resumes come with certain editor added job series specific “buzzwords” as determined solely by us and/or your assigned editor. You expressly understand and agree that if your 1 (one) federal resume revision request does not affect the following federal resume (OPM OF-510) items: 1. The Announcement number, title and grade of the job for which applying (indicate the lowest grade level that you will accept if applying for a position advertised at multiple grade levels); or 2. Full name, mailing address, day and evening phone numbers, social security number, country of citizenship, branch and date of military service, and highest federal civilian grade held, if applicable; or 3.

List of other qualifications such as job related training courses, job related skills, job related certificates and job related honors, awards and special accomplishments; then Federal Resume Experts may in our sole discretion deny your one (1) same day federal resume revision request, and YOU will be solely responsible for making any and all revisions to your federal resume prior to the USAJOBS® vacancy announcement closing date. You assume and expressly understand and agree that your job duties (position description) and/or work history will only be edited in accordance with this rule for spelling errors only; otherwise, your job duties (work history) and/or accomplishments will remain unchanged. Federal Resume Experts does not modify or change a customer’s job duties (position description) and/or work history and accomplishments during the federal resume development process.
(g) You assume and expressly understand and agree that complimentary “FREE”, lifetime KSA or Questionnaire Creation services, and any KSA/Questionnaire/SES ECQs/PTQs/MTQs, or equivalent services that are provided with your federal resume and/or requested separately are strictly provided “AS IS” and revisions are not offered and will not be honored or provided on these services regardless of satisfaction or for any reason due to the huge volume of lifetime service requests. By ordering Federal Resume Experts’ lifetime KSA and/or Questionnaire Creation, you understand and agree to be bound by the following: ALL LIFETIME KSA AND/OR QUESTIONNAIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTS ARE LIMITED TO ONE (1) REQUEST PER MONTH AND MUST BE SUBMITTED AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE OF THE USAJOBS® VACANCY ANNOUNCMENT TO BE HONORED DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF LIFETIME KSA AND QUESTIONNAIRE SERVICE REQUESTS. THESE SPECIFIC AND DETAILED LIFETIMEKSA AND QUESTIONNAIRE SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE TO ENSURE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE TO OFFER ALL CUSTOMERS THIS VALUABLE LIFETIME KSA AND QUESTIONNAIRE SERVICE IN AN EFFICIENT AND TIMELY MANNER. Due to the high volume of lifetime service requests made daily by our customers, Federal Resume Experts will make every attempt to fulfill lifetime Creation service requests in a timely manner in accordance with our policies (which may be amended without notice), however, you understand and agree that not every KSA or Questionnaire lifetime service request made by you will be honored and/or completed each and every time if, (there is a conflict with other customers’ expedited order request(s) which will take priority every time over all lifetime KSA or Questionnaire Creation service requests) and; therefore, there will be times when a submitted KSA or Questionnaire lifetime service request will not be completed prior to the USAJOBS® posted closing date. You agree to accept these specific terms and conditions in consideration for receiving lifetime KSA and/or Questionnaire services. Terms and conditions for add-on lifetime Creation services may be amended from time to time by us without notice to you, and as long as Federal Resume Experts chooses to continue to offer lifetime creation services and/or remains in business and/or the federal government requires KSAs or equivalent requirements.
