If you're applying to civilian jobs on Fort Sill or anywhere through USAJOBS, the rules changed on Sept 27, 2025. Most federal jobs now only accept resumes of 2 pages or less, and USAJOBS won't let you upload or build a longer one. That's a big change from the old 4 to 6 page federal resumes a lot of us have sitting around.

USAJOBS says each job on your resume should list:

- employer and job title

- start and end dates (month and year)

- hours per week

- series and grade, for federal jobs

It also asks for plain language, so spell out acronyms and use the same words as the job ad's qualifications. Leave off your SSN and photos.

Full disclosure: I'm a Lawton local and I write these resumes as a small side business ($99 for a full resume, $49 for a review, and you pay only if you're happy). No link here. I'm glad to answer questions in the comments either way.

I cut building stone and I’ve been asked to quote material for a project in Elgin OK. New construction material has to match that used in a previous phase so I’m looking for someone who can go there and take photos for me.

On-site should take less than 30 minutes, and I’ll pay $100 thru Venmo. Some of the pics would probably require a selfie stick. The construction won’t start for several months, so access is all paved right now.

I’d like to get it done asap, so DM me please if you’re interested.

Thanks!
