NEW SES APPLICATION FORMATS WHERE LESS IS MORE AND CONTENT IS KING

Changes in SES Application Requirements
As industry leaders our SES writing team has their fingers on the pulse of the application changes recently adopted by numerous federal agencies. President Obama signed a memorandum in May of 2010 requesting that all agencies modify their application process and reduce this process time to less than 80 days from application to interview. Our Master Federal Resume Writers will partner with you throughout the entire process and guide you to successful SES application submission.

New SES Application Formats
Five-page SES Resume to include the five ECQs (Executive Core Qualifications) and TQs (Technical Qualifications), MTQs, or DQs built right into the resume. The new five-page all inclusive SES ECQ Resume - as we have named this application - would appear to be much simpler to develop. However, the fact is that a comprehensive federal resume and normally 10 pages of ECQ documentation, and perhaps TQs if required must be drilled down and information optimized to showcase the most important facts of your leadership qualifications. Therefore, even though the resulting document is smaller, these requirements make it a more difficult process.  Less is more and content is king.

New Five-Page SES Resume and Separate ECQs
Five-page SES resume and up to ten pages of ECQ documentation. The executive core competencies are required to be addressed throughout each respective ECQ in addition to TQs if required. The ECQs are developed in the CCAR (Challenge, Content, Action and Result) model.

New Four-Page SES Resume with Executive Competencies
Four-page SES resume with cover letter or omit cover letter and extend resume to five pages. ECQs are replaced with federal agency's selection of five executive competencies such as: Strategic Vision; Resilience; Leadership; Coalition Building; Human Capital Management and/or can be replaced by others selected by the hiring agency.

USAjobs SES Resume with On-line ECQ Posting
USAjobs SES resumes with ECQs entered online with character limit's of 4,000 to 8,000 characters. The ECQs are developed in the CCAR (Challenge, Content, Action and Result) model.

Managerial and Technical Qualification Statements
In addition to the ECQ's, many SES positions also require managerial and technical qualification statements. These statements, also 1 to 1-1/2 pages in length, are specific for the job you are applying for. They need to be answered using the challenge / context / action / result model noted above. We will work with you to prepare these statements.

Cover Letter The final finishing touch of an SES application package is your Cover Letter. The Cover Letter will highlight how your experience matches the requirements of the position you are applying for. CareerProPlus produces these executive-level cover letters, clearly stating your interest in the position.

Read the Federal Job Vacancy for Instructions
It is imperative that you read each SES application in its entirety prior to writing your package. Different agencies sometimes change requirements from fax and email to mail in only; SES resume page length, ECQ character count; font and margins requirements. Any application submission that deviates from what is requested on the specific vacancy announcement will most likely be rejected.
