When writing your resume you have to consider
many things and include all required information. Format is also important especially with
RESUMIX and online submissions. If you are good at
putting your thoughts down on paper and have the time available you can complete your resume
application with the proper
resources. I wrote
many federal applications during my 35 + years of government service with great
success. I was also a trained and certified federal rating official and reviewed
and rated thousands of job applications. One of my very early job changes in
federal government was from a DOD avionics technician position in Topeka Kansas
to a similar DOD job in Pittsburgh, PA. I was selected for the job and shortly
after reporting to work, one of the specialists I was working with stated, "The
guys in the shop thought they would just throw away their tools when I reported
for work." I asked him why they would think that, and he said that the
supervisor had left my application out on his desk and all had read it.
The application and resume process isn't
formidable, however it is detailed and you have to know what to focus on so that
rating officials will be able to easily find the key duties and specialized
experience that is required for the job. With a little coaching and samples that
are provided in the all new 10th edition of
The Book of U.S. Government Jobs and The
The Federal Resume Guidebook,
you too can get though this. Entry level job applicants can expect to spend at
least 4 to 8 hours on their application. Midlevel applicants can easily spend
several days just compiling key information in preparation for completing their
resume. This is why I encourage all who apply to complete their resume OFF
LINE. I don't recommend completing your resume through an agency or USAJOBS
resume builder because of their limitations. It is best to write your resume
and/or application on your word processor and take your time to compile the info
you need, draft your work experiences, spell check and insure that you have ALL
information that is required in the Job Announcement. After you complete your
federal style resume offline, it is a simple matter to copy and paste your resume
into online resume builders.
A word of caution. Once you have your
resume completed and posted on USAJOBS or one of the many other agency resume
builders, it's easy to submit that same resume to apply for other job vacancies.
That can be a mistake that can cost you a possible job. Before resubmitting that
same resume for another job vacancy READ the job announcement thoroughly to
insure that other duties and specialized experience are not required for the new
position. If you find different requirements, and you possess the new duties or
specialized experience, incorporate them into your resume. It is not unusual to
apply for the same job series and find other requirements, or new or additional
KSA statements.
