DEVELOPING YOUR FEDERAL JOB & FEDERAL CONTRACTOR JOB SEARCH STRATEGY
TARGETING THE RIGHT FEDERAL & FEDERAL CONTRACTOR JOBS
CRACKING THE FEDERAL
JOB CODE
Together we will explore your Federal and Federal contractor employment goals and provide you with a road map for making your entire
application
THE BEST it can be. The majority of Federal job and Federal contractor job seekers struggle with identifying the right jobs to pursue; writing the
Federal
and Federal contractor resume; understanding the Federal and Federal contractor application process; mastering the Federal and Federal
contractor interview; and negotiating salary. We understand these
challenges and will assist you with all phases of the process. Most clients opt for
our Signature Federal Coaching Package, which includes target job search assistance; Federal or Federal contractor resume writing; interview
preparation; and salary negotiation. The Signature Federal Coaching Package allows us to partner with you through every phase of the entire
process, serving as your
Federal job coach for the next 6 months! Select this link to book an appointment for a FREE consultation.
Once you make the decision to partner with us, we will help you identify the best Federal and Federal contractor jobs for your background and skills.
This is a very important step. Even if you are qualified (sometimes called “minimally qualified”), you may not be found to be BEST qualified and your
application will not move forward to the selection official (hiring manager). Many people make the fatal mistake of applying for jobs for which they
are either minimally or not qualified, and their applications are not forwarded for consideration. Based on our insider knowledge of the Federal HR
selection and hiring process, we will direct you to focus on those jobs for which you are best qualified — which significantly increases the likelihood of
your application moving forward in the process.
WRITING YOUR FEDERAL RESUME
A Certified Federal Resume Writer will write your Federal resume to target those Federal jobs for which you are best qualified. It is extremely
important to have a solid Federal resume that meets all Federal guidelines and gets the highest possible score from the Agency HR staff. Typically,
Federal resumes are about five (5) pages long and include detail regarding your particular duties, responsibilities, results and accomplishments. We
will remove private sector language that is NOT recognized by the Federal HR Specialist and replace it with Federal language and core competencies
that ARE recognized and understood by Federal HR staff. Using core competencies developed by the Office of Personnel Management, we will “marry”
the information the HR Specialists are looking for with your current and past job experiences. The result is a document that will look very different
from others that are submitted and one that will grab the attention of the HR staff!
WRITING YOUR SES RESUME/ECQs
A Certified Federal Resume Writer will write your Senior Executive Service (SES) Federal resume and write and/or edit your Senior Executive
Service ECQs (Executive Core Qualifications).
These documents are required by the Office of Personnel Management and are critical to your
application package. Both must be well written
and directly relate to the core competencies required by the Federal Government for Senior Executive
Service applicants.
INCORPORATING YOUR KSAs
PREPARING FOR YOUR FEDERAL & FEDERAL CONTRACTOR INTERVIEW
Many agencies (96%) no longer require separate KSA (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) essays / narratives. It is still your responsibility as the
applicant to address the KSAs in the body of your resume. It is important not to overlook this step; your KSAs must be woven into your resume and
they must be directly related to the skills desired by the agency. It is like a puzzle; all the pieces must fit together in order to move your application
package forward to the hiring manager. We will ensure this important step is completed as part of the Federal resume writing phase of our
partnership.
Learn from a former GS-15 hiring manager how to ace the Federal interview using a fool-proof formula. Federal interviews are generally more
competitive than others – usually consisting of a panel of three or more interviewers asking interview
questions that are very challenging.
Understand the reasoning behind the questions asked and learn how to “think on your feet” in a stressful
situation.
CAREER COACHING AND CONSULTATION
Assess where you are in your Federal sector and Federal contractor job search and get answers to some of your job search questions. A Certified
Federal Career Strategist who knows the Federal Government arena will guide you through the process of searching for and landing your Federal or
Federal contractor job or promotion. Partnering with an expert can help accelerate the process and help you avoid the most common pitfalls as you
pursue your career goals.

SECURITY CLEARANCE: SF-85 & SF-86 ASSISTANCE *
Once you have received your job offer for a position that requires a security clearance or public trust, you will be asked to complete an SF-86 or SF-
85. These forms will be used as part of your background investigation. The SF-86 is a very lengthy form that many people find intimidating and
sometimes intrusive. The SF-85 is a shorter form, but it too can be daunting. They are often not completed properly which can cause a significant
delay in the
investigative process. You may find that it is a good good idea to meet with a consultant to ensure that your
SF-85/86 is completed
properly. We can assist you with the SF-85/86 data collection and application process.
*Use of this service does not guarantee a positive adjudication nor receipt of a National Security Clearance.
