I just got off the phone with a very frustrated federal employee wannabe. His area of expertise is security. He has been applying for Security Specialist positions. After completing a resume for this position he began using the exact same resume to apply for all the Security Specialist jobs he could find. After many, many applications and dozens of notices claiming he was not qualified, he called me in despair. I promptly located four current vacancy announcements he applied for and carefully read the duties and responsibilities for each announcement. Next, I compared his résumé to these descriptions. The generic resume he was using did not contain any of the required keywords that would qualify him for any of these vacancies. Don’t let this happen to you and your clients.
