Changes to USAJobs website coming this Saturday

Posted by on Friday, September 26, 2025 in Announcements .

Effective this Saturday, September 27, federal agencies will only accept resumes up to two pages in length so the USAJobs system will not allow applicants to have resumes that exceed two pages. This includes resumes that are uploaded directly by applicants AND resumes that applicants created using the USAJobs resume builder.

If you currently have an active USAJobs profile with a resume that is longer than 2 pages:

  1. Log into USAJobs before September 27 and download a copy of your long-form resume before it is deleted.
  2. Update your resume in the USAJobs system so it is 2 pages or less.

More information about this change is available on the USAJobs website, along with detailed instructions about updating your profile. As always, the ASPIRE team is available to support biomedical sciences postdocs in their job search, so please feel free to request an individual advising appointment if you want to discuss how this change affects your federal job search.
