Bad Advice #2:
“Aim for a 3-page resume and cram in as much information as you can into your employment section to make it as long as possible. If you can’t find a heading for something, make one up to show your creativity.”
Insert shaking head. Don’t do this…especially for federal resumes!

Hi, I’m Camille Roberts.
I work with mid-career professionals and executives across the federal and private sectors when the stakes are high and the next move matters.
My work focuses on helping leaders make smart career decisions, clarify their leadership narrative, and navigate complex hiring environments with intention and perspective. I partner with clients at moments of transition, promotion, or repositioning, when experience is strong but the path forward requires judgment rather than generic advice.
With more than 25 years of experience advising professionals and senior leaders across nearly every federal agency, as well as Fortune 500 and global organizations, I bring a systems-based approach to career strategy. Rather than treating résumés, interviews, and career decisions as isolated tasks, I help clients build a coherent, future-focused approach to career management that blends human judgment with modern intelligence systems.
Clients work with me when they want clarity, strategy, and intelligent guidance for their best next move.
I would love to meet you and help you Get HIRED in your next role. Thank you for stopping by!
