“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.” – Seneca, ancient Roman philosopher & statesman

Did you know that there are more than 10,000 jobs open every day on the federal government jobs site USAJobs.gov?
Your clients may think that if they don’t live in Washington, D.C. that doesn’t matter for them, but 80% of federal jobs are not in D.C.!
In a conversation with Nancy Segal, our resident expert on all things federal hiring (based on her decades of experience in federal HR), I learned that the federal hiring process has been altered recently to get candidates hired and onboarded faster. They are also using more assessment tools – fascinating and important for our clients to know.
If you want to learn these trends from Nancy firsthand, listen in as she shares her insights here. Send it to your clients who are looking for a stable job where they can make an impact.
You can also “geek out” on these topics with Nancy live in our upcoming Academy Certified Resume Writer – Federal course.

APR 18 | Academy Certified Federal Resume Writer Training Program |
|
|
In this certification and training program, you will learn how to help clients access an opportunity to serve their country while gaining employment with strong benefits, stability, and a reliable schedule.
Helping a client apply for a position with the federal government is much different than applying for a position in the private sector. Most federal positions are posted on USAJOBS (USAJOBS.gov) and most postings require that applicants apply through the system.
It is important that federal resume writers understand how the system works so they can properly advise their clients. This program, developed and taught by former federal HR professional Nancy Segal, will take you step-by-step through the federal application and resume development process. Group rates are available.
