subject: Federal Government Job Application Tips [print this page]


Even today, the federal government is still hiring employees specifically because Federal duty never stops for as long as there are people to serve. However, you will see that federal jobs are very competitive by virtue of the nature of public work. These tips should help you reach your goals in a quick, simple and convenient manner.

To begin with, keep your resume succinct. You have to keep your relevant accomplishments, credentials and other professional data in a succinct manner - use bullets and headings, arranged from the most to the least significant and use short paragraphs.

Second, prove your passion for the position. The best way to mention this desirable trait is to cite specific examples of the situations where you applied resourcefulness, creativity and drive to achieve a specific purpose.

Third, check for errors. A lot of job applications have been rejected at the first mistake, be it in grammar, typos or personal data. Edit and re-edit until such time that even your college English professor will find no faults in them. Only then should you dare pass your resume and application.

Fourth, answer every written question, if possible. Even if you have no right answer to a question, just write the most related thing that comes to mind or just place "not applicable" in the appropriate fields.

Fifth and most importantly, know everything there is to know about the agency. You will have no excuse not to gather information considering that almost all government agencies have their own websites, without forgetting the offline sources of news.

This way, you can answer the questions posed by the interviewers about your knowledge of the agency and the job. Ask current employees, if you have to, but make sure that it is done discreetly.

During the interview, you should mention all the things that you learned to impress interviewers. These include coming in your business suit or dress, looking at the interviewers in the eye, answering questions in a direct and careful manner and then thanking them when the interview is finished.

Government jobs are coveted positions these days. It is essential to be ready from the submission of application documents to the interviews and then the completion of papers for hiring purposes.
