Prepares Properly Formatted

USAJOBS Federal Resumes

BACKGROUND:  The ability of landing an advertised Civil Service or Wage Board position through the USAJOBS submittal process is a diligent administrative effort and should be congratulated when achieved.  Beyond the meticulously prepared resume and support documentation required, the preferred status points offered to Veterans, and currently employed and/or qualified reinstatement Career Conditional Federal Employees makes the achievement even a greater feat.  As such, whether you be an existing transitioning Military Enlistee or Commissioned Officer, Civil Service employee, Veteran and/or Disabled Veteran, or when defined: general public U.S. Qualified Citizen, it is extremely important to properly document your preferred status attributes - so when your file is reviewed, you get an accurate assessment and rating.  This is especially important when potentially competing against thousands of applicants for a single job. 

USAJOBS HR SPECIALIST REVIEW PROCESS:   Your application package (resume, supporting documents, and responses to the questionnaire) will be reviewed to verify that you meet the basic eligibility and qualification requirements.  Thereafter, your response to the questionnaire will be used to evaluate your relevant personal, educational, and work experiences that best establish your capability to perform the posted job better than other applicants.  Upon a thorough review of your resume and associated KSAs (see definition) qualified candidates will be assigned to one of three “quality” categories: Best Qualified, Highly Qualified and Qualified. Veteran preference eligibles are listed ahead of non-preference eligibles within each quality category, when equal KSA qualifications are verified.
