Also got the new cert for 74 cities. They want an updated resume? Is that a form, or are they referring to the Personal History form? or just an old fashioned resume? I'm glad I'm not the only one a little confused by this. But the question got lost in the shuffle (or else, everyone but me thoguht it needed to be ignored because of non-disclosure or gamesmanship or something). Does this mean a real, paper-equivalent resume? Or an update to the USA Jobs resume I filled out oh so long long ago? Or either? Or both? Did this immediately make clear sense to someone who also happens to be willing to enlighten me and others? |

I believe they want a paper equivalent resume but I would be delighted to hear someone else's thoughts.

That's what I am updating. The original paper resume I uploaded to OPM in 2013.

I don't have one of those. I used the USA Jobs one. Hmmm. A test within a requirement within a hurdle.

Thank you for clarifying. I didn't respond because I didn't know the answer and was hoping someone else did.

LMAO. I am trying to find the citation for a Bar Review article I wrote on DA&A some years back. And Google found a review I made of a bar (like for drinking). Ooops.

Not to deter from the levity here, but this Board is littered with angst in being tripped up by "the little things". Please, give them what they ask for and not what you think they want. This axiom applies to all aspects of this process. beenlurking gets two points.

All levity aside, you will now file a written, formal, professional resume.
If you do not know how to format same, research, research, research to meet current accepted formats.
Check your punctuation, grammar, your spelling, your formatting before submittal.
Make absolutely sure your information is correct and true.
Why? This is will be one of the physical indicators of your professionability that may well seperate you from the herd when folders are scattered across a table for final selections. From here on out will now be where you must step out ahead of your fellow patriots on here. You can shake hands later after the finish line.

I think a prospective employer expects that you will have an error-free resume. It is the resume with noticeable errors that get you dinged down, not the error-free resume that picks you up. Just my $.02 though. |

I was planning to simply use the printout of my USA Jobs resume (which I found and updated - I must have spent a lot of time on it, because it was WAY better than I ever remember my resume being). Now I am considering reformating it. Hmmm. I love me some clip art. |

Dang, that was/is way harder than I expected. I'm glad I did not/am not waiting until the last minute. It took 25 minutes just to browse the templates. And then having to edit all of my accomplishments, awards, education, and experience into no more than 10 pages... Jiminy.

And then having to edit all of my accomplishments, awards, education, and experience into no more than 10 pages... Jiminy. Now you're just bragging... I keed. I keed. I was also kidding about the length. I remember reading a VE resume that was just INCREDIBLY long. And one of the things on it was a presentation on the actual tolerance of employers for missed work each month. The SSA ODAR VE shorthand conventional wisdom says 1 is OK, 2 usually is OK, but some VEs say not, and 3 or more is disabling. So I read the presentation, which was still available on the Internet, and was apparently one breakout session from a continuing vocational education conference. The presentation was well thought out, but not actually scholarly (it was the kind of thing we all could do with an interest in something and the ability to quote from things we access on the Internet and then make a logical conclusion from these things). It concluded that, in fact, most employers of unskilled workers would not tolerate 1 unscheduled absence per month on an ongoing basis, and certainly not if notified up front and asked if that is tolerable in the job. However, I did not find the name of this VE on the presentation. I looked back at the resume and realized that the VE had written the title of every SESSION of training he had ATTENDED relevant to vocational work. Which, oddly, also seemed to indicate that the only session he attended at the relevant 3-day conference for vocational professionals was the single one I just mentioned. I laughed and laughed. |
