I’d suggest that you network at the target company or industry. Use LinkedIn to find people already working there and reach out to them. Ask them the process they used to get hired and ask them to help you navigate the hiring process and if they are willing, ask them to submit you as a referral. These activities require much more time on your part but in my opinion would greatly increase your chances for success. Good luck!

Ricky,

Happy to help you. I'm a full-time professional resume writer and a former Fed specializing for the last 13 years in working with jobseekers (especially Veterans) transitioning to Federal or private sector work. I can guide you through the process of creating a Federal resume, learning to use USAJOBS, figuring out which Federal job series and grades are the best fit for you, and translating your military or civilian experience into Federal-friendly language.

You can best get in touch with me through my website contact page: https://lexlevinllc.com/contact/.

Just answer a few questions about your goals, upload your current resume, and I'll review and advise.

Best regards,

Lex
