If I must compress 20 years of work, can Peaklify add missing details?

No. Compression is selection and wording of facts you already reviewed and confirmed—not invention. Empty or rejected vault facts never become résumé lines.

Does a Peaklify draft replace the USAJOBS résumé builder?

No. USAJOBS remains the place you enter or upload your application. Peaklify is prep and export only. You review the draft, attest, and submit on USAJOBS yourself.

What still has to be mine on a two-page federal résumé?

Every duty, date, hour count, title, and accomplishment must be experience you have reviewed and confirmed. You attest to that before export. Peaklify will not fabricate credentials or disguise drafting as something else.

Federal 2-page résumé readiness — what changed and what still must be yours

For most Title 5 jobs on USAJOBS, agencies accept résumés up to two pages. Longer uploads are generally not considered. Always follow the specific announcement if it asks for a CV or other document. The Title 5 default is a two-page ceiling, not a brevity target. Peaklify keeps confirmed JOA-relevant evidence and readable typography first; the fail-closed gate is only the final upload-ready PDF — rendered page count over two blocks that download. HTML is a fallback, not how you make the PDF.

The default is two pages — not a long CV

For most Title 5 jobs on USAJOBS, agencies accept résumés up to two pages. Longer uploads are generally not considered. Always follow the specific announcement if it asks for a CV or other document. That two-page limit has been the USAJOBS Title 5 standard since September 27, 2025 (uploaded files, Resume Builder, and searchable profile résumés).

The multi-page federal résumé is no longer the default. Do not assume you should submit five or ten pages because “that is how federal résumés work.” That myth is outdated for USAJOBS Title 5 announcements.

If the posting asks for a curriculum vitae (CV), a longer research document, or another file under “other documents” — common for some medical, scientific, or non-Title 5 / judicial / legislative jobs — follow those instructions. The job opportunity announcement (JOA: the USAJOBS posting) still controls what you upload.

What still must be yours

A shorter page count is not a license to invent. Reviewers still need employer, title, location, dates, hours per week, and duties that show specialized experience (work at a comparable level and scope). Peaklify drafts only from your Career Fact Vault (career facts you review and confirm), plus employment, education, and certifications you accept. Peaklify does not independently verify employment. Proposed facts from a pasted résumé stay unconfirmed until you accept, reject, or edit them.

Dates and hours you did not work cannot be “filled in” by the product.
Duties you did not perform cannot be inferred from the announcement.
Export unlocks a USAJOBS résumé PDF (HTML fallback) after you review and confirm the career facts Peaklify will use. You submit the application yourself.

How Peaklify treats the two-page ceiling

Two pages is a maximum, not a goal to write the shortest résumé. For each job: title, employer, location, dates, hours per week, and duties that match the announcement — plus series/grade if it was a federal job. The packet also uses the target title from the announcement when available, then education, training, certifications, and a short skills line. Bullets come from duties and accomplishments you have reviewed and confirmed — a USAJOBS résumé PDF (HTML fallback) drafted only from that confirmed information, without inventing new work. Confirmed JOA-relevant evidence is not dropped merely because the draft is already under two pages.

If twenty years will not fit, you choose what to keep. Peaklify can trim wording; it cannot manufacture missing years. The Title 5 default is a two-page ceiling, not a brevity target. Peaklify keeps confirmed JOA-relevant evidence and readable typography first; the fail-closed gate is only the final upload-ready PDF — rendered page count over two blocks that download. HTML is a fallback, not how you make the PDF.

USAJOBS still owns submission

USAJOBS has its own résumé builder and upload path. Peaklify does not replace that builder and does not submit for you. After you attest, you download a USAJOBS résumé PDF (HTML fallback) and a separate Application Readiness Report, then take the résumé to USAJOBS yourself. For how specialized experience maps onto those bullets, start with mapping specialized experience.
