Writing your Federal Resume, Presented by OPM

Posted: 28 Aug 2020 03:55 PM PDT

 

Preparing a résumé for Federal jobs is unlike creating one for jobs in the private and nonprofit sectors. To do so requires an understanding of the nuances of Federal hiring. We invite you to join a representative of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to learn strategies on developing and writing a Federal résumé. By the end of this session, you will know the importance of the résumé in applying for Federal Jobs and why preparing a thorough résumé is the single best step you can take towards obtaining Federal Government employment; gain critical tips and guidelines for improving your résumé; and learn how to use the USAJOBS Résumé Builder to create a new résumé.

Date: Thursday, September 3, 2020
Time: 2:00pm - 3:00pm

This is an online event. You must register on this Eventbrite page in order to participate. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation via email that will include the webinar link.
