The Resume Place ECQ writers are expert with the OPM requirements to write the ECQs following the Context-Challenge-Action-Results "situational writing" style. The writer will interview you concerning examples that will support each ECQ. We will write these examples in an executive writing style that will be comfortable, honest and positive for your executive application. The average length is 1 to 1.5 pages for each ECQ statement. The typical number of hours to draft each ECQ is two hours which includes interview, utilization of existing material, writing, editing and draft reviews.
