offers the following t1ps for landmg a job with the federal government for you to pass along to your students.
• Plan ahead-The application process itself can take time; to inrprove a student's chances of getllng a job,
he or she should be sure to allow plenty of t1me to thoroughly complete the appl1cat:on
• Select carefully-Applications tailored for spec1fic jobs that are a good match for a student's skills and
talents will be more successful than sending out a standard resume for many JObs Students should read
about bU1Id1ng their federal resumes (see www.makingthedifference.org/federaljobs
lusajobsresume.shtml) and KSA writing (see www.makingthedifference.org/federaljobslksa.shtml)
before they apply
• Prepare for a wait-It can take weeks to months before a student will hear back about his or her
application, and, dunng this t1me. there may be little or no communication from the agency. Every federal jOb
requ~res a background check before the agency can make a job offer. If the pos1t1on is related to national
secunty. appl1cants will be Instructed to complete the secunty clearance process once they rece1ve an offer
Students should apply for posit1ons w1thout secunty clearances about four months pnor to their start date
and six to eight months in advance for national security related positions.
• Follow-up with the agency-A student should contact the ident:fied representative to learn the status of
his or her application or to find out more about a job about a month after the clos1ng date or, 1f the closing
date is extended. about a month after the student turned 1n h:s or her appl1cat1on

Information on federal job and internshiP opportumtles, as well as resources to help JOb seekers understand where
jobs are :n government that fit their needs/Interests and tools to help them nav1gate the federal application process.
"We also encourage career serv1ces professionals and job seekers alike to VISit the web s:tes of mdiVIdual federal
agenc1es to learn more about specific agencies that they may be interested 1n apply1ng to/work1ng for," says
Bohnet.
To find JOb openings, Bohnet advises career serv1ces pract1t1oners and Jobseekers to visit the federal government
job web site-www.usajobs.gov
Jobs w1th the federal governmer.t are attractive because of competitive salaries, a solid benef:t package,
meaningful and challeng:ng work, and opportunities for advancement and professional development. (For more
details, go to www.makingthedifference.org and cl1ck on "Why Federal Service ")
Still, most college students don't know that these positions are ava1lable across the country and across the industry
spectrum.
"More than 84 percent are not in the Metro DC area," Bohnet notes "Also, there are federal JObs available for
wtually all backgrounds and interests. from architects to zoologists and everything 1n between."
Bohnet says that the lack of jObs m other sectors of the economy has certainly made government an attractive
opt:on, but the economy alone :s not dnving increased 1nterest in federal jobs
"Pres1dent Obama's call to servce has also been a factor in getting more young people to consider jOb
opportunitieS With the federal government," she explains, "as has increased focus on the federal government as a
solut1on to some of our nation's most press1ng issues "
...

With nearly one-third of all federal employees (nearly i 9 m:llion employees) eligible to retire in the next four, years
