You Will NEVER Get Hired for a Federal Job, and Here’s Why 🚫💼 🔹You’re using one general resume for every job announcement. Each federal job has specific requirements, and a “one-size-fits-all” resume won’t cut it! 📄❌ 🔹You’re not pulling keywords from the job announcement. Federal hiring managers look for specific terms to match you to the role. Missing keywords = missed opportunities. 🔑🔍 🔹Your format is wrong. Federal resumes are different! Dates, supervisor info, salary—if these aren’t included or formatted correctly, your application might not even be seen. 📅📞💸 Ready to boost your chances? Tailoring your resume for each role is KEY!

A candidate 🧑✈️️ recently reached out to me on LinkedIn about a job I posted and sent me his resume directly. I asked him to apply through our official job posting system and assured him that he’d be notified of any updates 💡 . The next day, while reviewing applications, I couldn’t find his resume in the system. Curious, I messaged him to ask when he had applied. He replied that he thought sending his resume on LinkedIn was enough. I explained that while connecting on LinkedIn is valuable, our hiring process requires candidates to submit their applications through the official system. With 500+ applications, we prioritize those who follow this process. He asked, "What’s the next step now?" I advised him to apply directly through the job posting 🔖 . Once that’s done, I encouraged him to connect on LinkedIn to build relationships and make his name stand out. 👉 He mentioned that many recruiters don’t respond to him. I explained that while recruiters may not reply to every message, they do remember names when reviewing applications 🤝 . 🔕 So, here’s the key takeaway: when you find a job that fits your profile, apply through the official system first, then reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn. It’s all about maximizing your chances and following the process! We’re all doing our best to keep the hiring process smooth and fair for everyone. 😊 Happy job hunting! #jobseekers #careers #recruiting #hr #LinkedIn
