To those trying to navigate the maze of vacancies, applications, resume styles and general difficulty of getting traction with regard to Federal employment applications, this is for you - three different classes / presentations to help walk you through everything from creating a USAJobs.gov account, to writing a resume, to finding the right vacancy to apply to. The third briefing focuses on special hiring authorities (read: sometimes direct-hire opportunities that do not require competition!) available to those with certain disabilities.


The Office of Personnel Management has these free, online training opportunities available next week.
