The Federal government has become the employer of choice as it represents an element of stability in an ever-changing workplace. The application process continues to evolve as do the methodologies involved. We will examine the USAJOBS website and dissect an announcement and online questionnaire. In doing so, we will look for keywords and a methodology will be demonstrated to highlight keywords for inclusion in the application. Additionally, federal jargon will be translated into real, usable terms so that it is easier to understand the process and qualifications involved. Strategies will be shared as to how to best format the federal résumé and how it differs from those that are acceptable in the private sector. Some of the other hiring programs that are often not publicized enough (Veterans, Pathways, Schedule A) will be discussed as well.
