Jobs and career resources
Open federal job postings, plus the resume help that federal applications quietly demand and most resumes leave out.
GrantsRUs lists open federal job postings with the grade, pay range, location, closing date, and a link to the official application. The Pro workspace then helps you build a resume and answers that match what that specific listing asks for. Searching jobs is free.
See open job postingsFederal applications are stricter than most
A federal resume is usually longer than a private sector one, and it has to spell out your employer, job title, start and end dates, hours per week, and salary for each job.
Reviewers also check your experience against the listing point by point. If the listing names a task and your resume never mentions it, you can be screened out even when you have done the work.
Who this helps

What it costs
Searching is free. You can open any listing, read who can apply, see the deadline, and go to the official page without paying anything.
GRANTSRUS Pro is $29.99 a month or $250 a year. Pro adds the private workspace where you build your application: the question list pulled from the opportunity file, plain language explanations, draft answers built from your own answers, a practice version of the full application, and Word or PDF downloads.
Common questions
- Should I use the same resume for every job?
- No. Keep one master version with everything, then build a targeted version for each listing using the words that listing uses.
- How long should a federal resume be?
- Longer than one page is normal and expected. Include the required details for every relevant job rather than cutting for length.
- Do you apply for me?
- No. You apply on the official posting. We help you prepare.
