I have found out, even by looking at the resumes of my peers, that applicants may not be paying close attention to the VA’s specifics regarding their application submission. I was guilty of that in the beginning as well. When I redid my resume and, uniformly listed my employment history to include all the places I worked and dates of employment, hours worked and rate, Supervisors names and contact numbers; this made the difference. No matter how fancy your resume may be, without these pertinent information; it could probably get set aside. I am not a resume expert, I am only sharing the ‘prerequisites’ I followed when I submitted my VA resume.
