If you are a career changer, coming from private industry or military service, then the Federal Career Consultation is HIGHLY recommended. Talk to a federal career consultant / expert about your federal job search objectives, past federal job search experiences and your federal application.
Get expert help before you waste many great opportunities (and precious time) with a federal resume and application that is NOT on target. Your goal is to get Referred, Selected for an Interview and Hired. It takes research, analysis and writing to achieve this with your federal application. Read our popular new blog, Applying for Federal Jobs Fast, about a federal job search with multiple jobs that are of interest. The resumes are changed slightly for each position. The federal application / federal resume MUST be targeted toward specific positions. The resume should demonstrate your qualifications (work experience, education, training, years of experience) that matches the position. We are experts in identifying announcements to match your background. You can look at OPM’s Classification Standards for federal jobs on our Resources page. We are trained to analyze the classification standards based on your past experience. This is highly-effective for career changers. Our Federal Career Consultants will discuss your job search strategy. We will point you in the right direction for federal jobs, salaries, grade levels and announcement selection. Don’t have a federal job search strategy? We are here to help you develop one. Successful federal job search is more than writing a resume .. we will discuss the qualifications, strategy and writing the best application. See a sample Federal Career Consultation Report » |
A solid 90 minute consultation covering: What job are you best qualified for in government? Then USAJOBS vacancy announcement search (or detailed discussion of the announcement you selected), announcement interpretation toward your experience and education, a discussion of Specialized Experience, KSAs and Questionnaires, a development of a keyword list. Then a solid discussion of the resume and work experience in terms of the match toward the announcement. A review of potential accomplishments that can be included in the the federal resume. This 90 minute session is invaluable for the new federal jobseeker, or the jobseeker who is trying to improve results from past federal applications
This consultation service is HIGHLY recommended for first-time federal job applicants. We are helping many first-time private industry jobseekers who are not sure of their job title, grade level, or how to begin to find the right job announcements for their background and qualifications. Our experts can ask questions, look at your current resume, and give recommendations for job titles where you can match the qualifications. This is HIGHLY recommended, so that you do not waste time applying for positions that will simply not work for your background. The federal resume, KSA, questionnaire and entire application system is dramatically different than private industry. It requires knowledge and understanding in order to apply correctly to get REFERRED TO A SUPERVISOR.
What you will receive:
In addition to the services provided in the one hour consultation, you will also have the opportunity to begin working on your resume with your certified federal resume writer. This highly effective exercise brings a more in-depth examination of not only how to write the federal resume, but also of the overall job search approach.
