An HR specialist - not a librarian - will be the first person to evaluate

specialist forwards to us for consideration. For best results, follow the
application tips below.

*	Complete the online resume form provided in USAJOBS. You can send
your existing resume or CV as supplemental material, but fill out the online
resume form. Be sure to send all required documents.
*	Do not approach the online resume as a CV. The HR specialist only
considers the job duties you list under your job titles to determine if you
meet the qualifications of the position. The specialist does not look at
other sections such as publications, continued training, classes taught, or
committee memberships to evaluate your qualifications.
*	Let your official position description be your guide to writing your
job duties. Be explicit. Tell what you do in as much detail as possible. Do
not assume the HR specialist will know.
*	Use the verbiage from the job announcement in your resume. The HR
specialist does not know synonyms from our field or other ways of expressing
concepts.
*	Under the "Qualifications" heading, you will see a section on
"Specialized Experienced." Your job duties MUST address this specialized
experience. If your job duties do not reflect the ALL of the specialized
experience, the HR specialist will judge you unqualified.

 

Thank you for helping spread the word!
