To identify actual vacancy announcements that are a good fit for your qualifications, you must carefully review the vacancy announcement language from www.USAJOBS.gov, particularly the language in the “Duties” and “Qualifications & Evaluations” tabs. Look for a majority match between the duties listed and your skills. For the qualifications required, make sure you possess them. As you identify those vacancies that seem like a good fit, record the Job Series (a four digit number found on the Overview tab) for those jobs. Keep this Job Series in mind; you can use this information as you prepare your Federal resume.
KSAs (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities): Look for the “Knowledge, Skills and Abilities” or “KSAs” in the vacancy announcement. Make sure you possess all of them before moving forward.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire Review: There is usually a link in the vacancy announcement to the Self-Assessment Questionnaire. See if you can answer the majority of the questions at the “expert” or the highest level. If you can’t, you might consider by-passing that particular vacancy announcement.
