Why government resumes are different
Unlike private roles, government / PSU / bank recruitments often look for:
- ✓ Clearly stated personal details (DOB, category, address, contact)
- ✓ Education with year, board/university, and %/CGPA
- ✓ Employment/service history in reverse order
- ✓ Skill / computer proficiency section
- ✓ Document and application number references
Our scan helps you check these before you submit - so you don't get rejected for something avoidable.
How the Government Resume Scan works
- Step 1 - Upload/paste: Add your current resume to the scanner.
- Step 2 - Select "Government / PSU / Bank" path: This toggles checks for sections government jobs usually want.
- Step 3 - Get gaps: We highlight missing personal/education/service lines, non-standard headings, and risky layouts.
- Step 4 - Fix with our prompts: We give you phrasing for experience and projects in simpler, verifiable language.
- Step 5 - Re-scan: Run it again to reach a clean baseline.
Pair this with the Why Resumes Get Rejected in ATS guide if you also apply to private jobs.

2. Eligibility signals
DOB, nationality, category (if applicable), references to certificates.
3. Education

Tips for naming your PDF as per notification (name_dob_post.pdf).
Common mistakes we see
- L Only private-sector format, no personal/ID details.
- L No mention of computer proficiency when the post asks for it.
- L Fancy 2-column layouts that don't print well.
- L Achievements written in buzzwords, not duties/results.
- L Missing signature/date line when submitting offline.
Fix these once and reuse the resume for multiple notifications.
