Welcome to the Army CPOL Resumix Page!
Army CPOL Resumix Format
Many announcements for Federal Government positions require the Army CPOL RESUMIX format which is scanned into a computer database for preliminary screening. That means your materials must meet the job and keywords criteria just to get past the computer filter to be seen by a human being.
Online formats can be very restrictive and each has different requirements. If you are not computer-savvy, they can also be very difficult to complete correctly. And, if not done correctly, your application may end up being automatically rejected. You need to tell your story in a specific way - one that is acceptable to the computer as well as the hiring manager.
Here are some important details to understand before you begin the process of submitting an ARMY CPOL RESUMIX.
- List of allowable characters in the Army CPOL format is: [A-Z],[a-z],[0-9],[comma],~!@#$%^&*()-_+={[}]|\<>?/.`
- Do NOT use " or -- or ... punctuation. MS Word changes them to characters the Army CPOL will not recognize.
- Pay strict attention to character counts in each section. MS Word may not be completely accurate in the character count. INCLUDE SPACES.
- The work experience section allows 12,000 total characters and spaces; the education section allows 2,000.
- The additional information (where you get to put your summary and areas of expertise) allows for 6,000 total characters. Pay attention!
It is not recommended to use the CPOL worksheet option when inputting data. While it might make sense, it's actually more difficult. It's much more efficient to have all of your information prepared in such as way that you can simply copy and paste the relevant sections as needed. That's how we prepare your materials - with copy and paste simplicity.
The input format for Army CPOL is very "plain Jane" with no style features permitted as you might see on a regular resume. There are ways to effectively highlight important information and when you let us prepare your Resumix, everything will be formatted with highlights and proper format in mind.
