Seminar Details
Federal Resume and KSA Writing and Application Procedures |
| Presenter: | Diane Burns, CCMC - Polished Resumes |
| Date: | Friday, July 10th 2009 3:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern |
| Description: | **For those who've attended Diane's trainings before, here's what she says about this seminar:
"We will review and then delve into how to write the federal resumes and ksas; and I will navigate through the online usajobs application/resume builder (online) and application manager--there was an overwhelming response to learn more about the writing of the resume and ksas and look into the resume builder."
*******************************************************
Do you feel as though reading a Federal government job vacancy announcement is like reading a technical manual?
Do you and your clients shy away from applying for Federal jobs because the applications and resume procedures seem nearly impossible to manage?
With the Federal government as the largest employer in America, with over 2 million employees globally, and the new Administration’s stimulus money promising the American public 200,000+ new federal jobs in the next four years, even if you choose not to write Federal resumes, understanding the process will allow you as a career coach, recruiter, or resume writer to discuss Federal possibilities with potential clients, provide a solid referral, and gain positive referral fees by building partnerships with colleagues who do specialize in Federal applications.
And, if you decide you are willing to take the plunge and challenge yourself to learn to write and coach for Federal clients, you can add a new product/service to your palette, and increase your income (as you can typically charge more for federal applications, due to the intensity, complexity, and formatting requirements).
Diane will help dispel the mysteries behind Federal Resumes and Application Procedures. You will learn:
-- What a Federal Resume is called and what it looks like
-- About the other components to an application: KSAs, ECQs, Supplemental Questions, TQs, MTQs, SES, etc.
-- Why there are there so many versions and Federal resume builders (Avue, USAJOBS, Application Manager, etc.)
-- What jobs your clients may be eligible for within the Federal government
-- How to translate Federal application procedures and Federal vacancy announcements
-- About the myriad nuances: Preference points for vets, the New NSPS grading system, educational requirements, why it take months to hear back from submitting an announcement, and much more
-- We will analyze an announcement and guide you in beginning to draft a Resumix and a KSA essay
Diane will provide online guidance in navigating the USAJOBS.OPM.GOV website and review of vacancy announcements. We will also navigate the USAJOBS Online Resumix—and move to Application Manager to view self assessment questions and KSA essays. She will also provide a sample Resumix for the USAJOBS.OPM.GOV resume builder.
