Most
of you intuitively know that you have skills that the government wants and will
pay for in the form of a salary. But for those transitioning from
the private sector into the Federal world, often times wording can make
all the difference. For example, in the private sector, we focus on
“profit” but in the Federal sector we “contain costs.” Same concept,
different wording.
Words can and do make
all the difference. Most Federal agencies use a human being to scan
incoming resumes for key words. Try this technique
to quickly identify key words from the vacancy announcement for
your Federal Resume:
- Copy and paste the Duties and Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) text from the vacancy announcement into this website: www.TagCrowd.com. Click submit and view the key words you want to make sure get placed on your Federal resume.
