Here are some of the most common mistakes Federal job seekers make, which result in not getting selected for interviews:
- Not following the guidelines included in the Federal vacancy annuncement (even if you are the best candidate, it will get you disqualified)
- Botching the KSA writing (KSA's are often used to decide who will be interviewed and/or get the job)
- Not understanding the job announcement (if you don't provide what they want, you will get disqualified)
- Preparing your Federal resume yourself (your resume needs to be flawless and make you stand out)
- Not being willing to relocate (most Federal jobs are concentrated in a few cities)
