Government resume templates

Public sector applications frequently prescribe the format, and the prescription is not a suggestion - federal and civil service processes routinely screen out applications that omit a required field, regardless of the candidate. These templates follow those requirements: longer documents than a private-sector resume, month-and-year employment dates, hours per week, supervisor details where required, salary or grade history, and citizenship or clearance fields where the posting asks for them. Completeness matters more than brevity here, and a three-page application is normal rather than a failure of editing. Use these for federal, state, local government, civil service and defence applications. Always read the posting itself first - requirements differ between agencies and between countries, and where a posting contradicts a template, the posting is right.
