WEBVTT 00:19.740 --> 00:22.610 Hello everyone . My name is Carl Brown . 00:22.620 --> 00:24.820 I'm the staff director for strategic 00:24.820 --> 00:26.920 communication and outreach at the 00:26.920 --> 00:29.350 defense threat reduction agency within 00:29.350 --> 00:30.906 the chemical and Biological 00:30.906 --> 00:33.630 Technologies department . In our role 00:33.640 --> 00:35.640 as the Joint Science and Technology 00:35.640 --> 00:37.584 Office for Chemical and Biological 00:37.584 --> 00:40.130 Defense otherwise known as detras J . 00:40.130 --> 00:43.150 Sto . Today I'm also joined by my 00:43.150 --> 00:45.920 colleague Mr Andy Teague from our human 00:45.920 --> 00:48.700 talent management team and Andy will 00:48.700 --> 00:51.050 introduce himself in just a few moments . 00:51.740 --> 00:53.920 So today the path we will follow for 00:53.920 --> 00:56.620 our presentation looks like this . I'm 00:56.620 --> 00:58.676 going to briefly walk through who we 00:58.676 --> 01:01.270 are and what we do at Detroit Ernesto . 01:01.280 --> 01:04.890 And then Mr Teague will join in 01:04.890 --> 01:07.870 and discuss some of our human resource 01:07.880 --> 01:10.920 approaches and usa jobs 01:10.930 --> 01:14.500 activity following Andy's presentation 01:14.500 --> 01:16.333 we will address frequently asked 01:16.333 --> 01:18.320 questions so a little bit of table 01:18.320 --> 01:20.470 setting just to give everyone a basic 01:20.470 --> 01:22.803 foundation of who we are and what we do . 01:23.540 --> 01:26.110 Many of you may have never heard of the 01:26.110 --> 01:28.054 defense threat reduction agency or 01:28.054 --> 01:32.040 Dutra for those who haven't detras 01:32.040 --> 01:35.040 mission at its core is to enable D . O . 01:35.040 --> 01:36.929 D . And the U . S . Government to 01:36.929 --> 01:39.630 prepare for and counter weapons of mass 01:39.630 --> 01:42.200 destruction and emerging threats and to 01:42.200 --> 01:45.450 ensure nuclear deterrence , chemical , 01:45.450 --> 01:47.561 biological , radiological nuclear and 01:47.561 --> 01:49.506 high yield explosives activities . 01:50.840 --> 01:53.460 Detroit is both the defense agency and 01:53.460 --> 01:56.170 a combat support agency which probably 01:56.170 --> 01:58.610 doesn't mean much to most of you right 01:58.610 --> 02:00.900 now . But it's an important element to 02:00.900 --> 02:03.560 know . It means that those of us in 02:03.560 --> 02:05.770 Detroit to work for both the Joint 02:05.770 --> 02:07.860 Chiefs of Staff and the U . S . 02:07.860 --> 02:10.440 Combatant commanders as well as the 02:10.440 --> 02:13.940 Secretary of defense's office . As we 02:13.940 --> 02:16.610 have learned since March 2020 . The 02:16.610 --> 02:20.190 SARS Kobe too a naturally occurring 02:20.190 --> 02:23.410 biological threat in many ways acts the 02:23.410 --> 02:26.450 same as a man made biological threat . 02:26.840 --> 02:29.260 And our responses are very similar . 02:30.040 --> 02:32.096 The need for quick identification of 02:32.096 --> 02:34.560 the threat , infection prediction rates , 02:35.040 --> 02:37.350 early identification of those infected 02:37.740 --> 02:39.962 and transporting and treating the ill . 02:40.540 --> 02:42.950 Many of our developing technologies for 02:42.950 --> 02:45.006 protecting the joint force have been 02:45.006 --> 02:47.117 instrumental in the fight against the 02:47.117 --> 02:49.450 coronavirus and the disease it causes . 02:49.940 --> 02:51.884 Here . I'm showing you the Detroit 02:51.884 --> 02:54.120 Ernesto mission statement . We have a 02:54.120 --> 02:56.670 broad mission to lead the D . O . D . 02:56.690 --> 02:59.450 Science and technology to anticipate 02:59.460 --> 03:01.700 defend and safeguard against chemical 03:01.700 --> 03:03.422 and biological threats for the 03:03.422 --> 03:06.400 warfighter and the nation basically 03:06.400 --> 03:09.260 preparing for the unthinkable . Yeah we 03:09.260 --> 03:12.150 do this by focusing on three strategic 03:12.150 --> 03:14.950 priorities integrating early warning , 03:15.440 --> 03:18.200 integrated layer defense and preparing 03:18.200 --> 03:21.950 for surprise . The J store role 03:21.980 --> 03:23.536 as a science and technology 03:23.536 --> 03:25.950 organisation is somewhat like a talent 03:25.950 --> 03:28.500 scout for technology . We are 03:28.500 --> 03:30.556 constantly looking at the technology 03:30.556 --> 03:32.430 horizon for both threats and 03:32.440 --> 03:34.540 opportunities . When we find 03:34.540 --> 03:36.373 opportunities , it's our goal to 03:36.373 --> 03:38.151 rapidly take science out of the 03:38.151 --> 03:40.390 laboratory or classroom and turn it 03:40.400 --> 03:42.670 into capabilities for our war fighters 03:42.740 --> 03:45.950 to give them what we call overmatch on 03:45.950 --> 03:48.800 the battlefield . This is how we defeat 03:48.810 --> 03:50.699 chemical and biological threats , 03:50.699 --> 03:53.560 whether they are man made or naturally 03:53.560 --> 03:56.600 occurring . While science and 03:56.600 --> 03:59.200 technology provides the answers , the 03:59.200 --> 04:02.110 solutions need fresh new ideas , new 04:02.110 --> 04:04.800 ways of thinking to bring truly 04:04.800 --> 04:07.100 disruptive ideas to fruition . It 04:07.100 --> 04:09.310 usually takes a whole of government 04:09.310 --> 04:12.470 approach . In the COVID-19 04:12.470 --> 04:15.070 pandemic we are seeing a whole of Earth 04:15.070 --> 04:17.610 approach coming together to address the 04:17.610 --> 04:21.300 outbreak . Our years of experience at 04:21.300 --> 04:23.710 the Defense Direct reduction Agency in 04:23.710 --> 04:25.766 developing D . N . A . And Messenger 04:25.766 --> 04:29.300 RNA vaccine platforms resulted in two 04:29.310 --> 04:33.040 first ever M . RNA vaccines for Covid 04:33.040 --> 04:35.990 19 . Both the Pfizer and Moderna 04:35.990 --> 04:39.180 vaccines are both built on the M . RNA 04:39.180 --> 04:41.590 platform . Our work with Philips , 04:41.590 --> 04:44.770 healthcare and wearable technologies is 04:44.770 --> 04:47.800 showing promise To provide 04:48.060 --> 04:50.850 48 hours notice 04:51.240 --> 04:55.060 before symptoms are present . We 04:55.060 --> 04:57.360 work with many universities both here 04:57.360 --> 04:59.360 in the U . S . And around the world 04:59.740 --> 05:02.400 with industry and allied nations to 05:02.400 --> 05:04.820 find the next disruptive technology 05:04.850 --> 05:07.350 that will absolutely remove an entire 05:07.350 --> 05:09.780 category of threats . We don't know 05:09.780 --> 05:11.780 where the next great idea will come 05:11.780 --> 05:14.002 from , but we are always on the lookout 05:14.002 --> 05:16.224 for it . So back to why you're watching 05:16.224 --> 05:19.020 this presentation . It's no secret that 05:19.020 --> 05:21.131 the number of government workers over 05:21.131 --> 05:23.680 60 years of age has almost doubled the 05:23.680 --> 05:27.040 population under 30 years of age . As 05:27.040 --> 05:29.096 the government increasingly turns to 05:29.096 --> 05:31.040 contractors to meet the demands of 05:31.040 --> 05:33.151 critical federal emissions , we don't 05:33.151 --> 05:35.318 have enough skilled people to lead and 05:35.318 --> 05:37.429 manage that work effectively . That's 05:37.429 --> 05:39.900 where all of you come in today . We're 05:39.900 --> 05:42.460 going to dive into USA jobs the one 05:42.460 --> 05:44.500 source of all jobs within the US 05:44.500 --> 05:46.890 government . With that I'm going to 05:46.890 --> 05:49.057 turn it over to my colleague , Mr Andy 05:49.057 --> 05:51.880 Teague . Thank you Carl . I am . And 05:51.880 --> 05:53.950 fatigue with the human resource 05:53.950 --> 05:56.117 director and editor . Oh I'm the chief 05:56.440 --> 06:00.210 the talent acquisition . The number one 06:00.210 --> 06:02.600 question I always get when we go to 06:02.610 --> 06:05.120 career affairs or universities is how 06:05.120 --> 06:07.860 do I find a job within Vitra ? The 06:07.860 --> 06:11.020 answer is USA jobs . As carl indicated 06:11.020 --> 06:13.076 earlier . UsA jobs is the number one 06:13.076 --> 06:15.760 platform of the federal government . 06:16.640 --> 06:18.751 There are other programs that you may 06:18.751 --> 06:20.807 be familiar with to also come within 06:20.807 --> 06:20.700 the federal government . But if you're 06:20.700 --> 06:23.080 going to apply for a position within 06:23.080 --> 06:25.136 the federal government , USa jobs is 06:25.136 --> 06:27.370 the format that you will use as you can 06:27.370 --> 06:29.620 see on these slides . I put some 06:29.620 --> 06:31.731 information out there just so you can 06:31.731 --> 06:34.120 see what some of the pages of USA jobs 06:34.130 --> 06:36.130 look like because I'm going to deep 06:36.130 --> 06:38.352 dive into USA jobs in just a second and 06:38.352 --> 06:40.352 actually give you a tutorial on usa 06:40.352 --> 06:44.020 jobs . You can search for jobs by 06:44.030 --> 06:46.420 particular agency , the salary . You 06:46.420 --> 06:48.460 would like occupation job series , 06:48.460 --> 06:51.160 location et cetera . And as you can see 06:51.160 --> 06:53.104 on the right there are many hiring 06:53.104 --> 06:55.327 passed between the U . S . A . Jobs and 06:55.327 --> 06:57.438 we'll get to those in just a second . 06:57.438 --> 06:59.604 Take a moment to look at some of those 06:59.604 --> 06:59.450 helpful tips that we have on the left 06:59.450 --> 07:03.000 side there as well . It will greatly 07:03.000 --> 07:05.222 enhance your chances of coming into the 07:05.222 --> 07:07.320 federal government . If you follow 07:07.320 --> 07:09.700 those steps as you can see on this 07:09.700 --> 07:12.730 slide on the left side there's a 07:12.730 --> 07:16.310 detailed tree that describes U . S . A . 07:16.310 --> 07:18.850 Jobs and the career around that 07:18.850 --> 07:21.072 individual takes once they didn't . You 07:21.072 --> 07:23.294 have an education process of usa jobs . 07:24.640 --> 07:26.980 This is no secret . It's a very 07:26.980 --> 07:30.450 transparent process and during the 07:30.450 --> 07:32.394 process you can always contact the 07:32.394 --> 07:34.394 agency that you're applying for and 07:34.394 --> 07:36.561 they will give you updates and provide 07:36.561 --> 07:36.530 feedback as well as the U . S . A . 07:36.530 --> 07:40.250 Jobs platform . It's 07:40.250 --> 07:42.306 taking time to look over the slide a 07:42.306 --> 07:45.850 little bit as you can see there's 07:45.860 --> 07:48.500 a five step process . We'll get into 07:48.500 --> 07:50.611 that in just a second when I go do my 07:50.611 --> 07:52.970 deep dive overview , as I mentioned 07:52.970 --> 07:55.026 earlier , there's some other ways to 07:55.026 --> 07:57.248 get into the federal government and the 07:57.248 --> 07:59.650 digital workspace . one of those is the 08:00.040 --> 08:02.240 Half ways program which you see here . 08:02.250 --> 08:04.450 There are three components of the 08:04.450 --> 08:06.980 pathways program , internships , recent 08:06.980 --> 08:09.030 graduates programs and Presidential 08:09.030 --> 08:11.252 Management fellows program which is the 08:11.252 --> 08:13.141 Premier leadership program of the 08:13.141 --> 08:15.363 federal government . And how do you get 08:15.363 --> 08:18.730 to these particular places within the 08:18.730 --> 08:21.008 federal government usa jobs once again . 08:22.040 --> 08:25.710 Although for PMF every 08:25.720 --> 08:29.360 year that the application period opens 08:29.840 --> 08:32.450 Approximately August 30 and runs 08:32.450 --> 08:36.450 through october mid october and that is 08:36.450 --> 08:38.450 the time that you actually apply to 08:38.450 --> 08:41.860 become a PMF recipient . Once selected 08:41.860 --> 08:44.082 for that , then you can go into the U . 08:44.082 --> 08:46.027 S . A . Jobs platform to apply for 08:46.027 --> 08:47.916 positions as well as the pathways 08:47.916 --> 08:50.410 program platform for PMS . There are a 08:50.410 --> 08:52.750 number of other ways to come within the 08:53.140 --> 08:55.196 federal government . One of those is 08:55.196 --> 08:57.251 workforce recruitment and schedule a 08:57.251 --> 08:59.990 hiring authority . These are for 08:59.990 --> 09:02.280 individuals with disabilities and we 09:02.280 --> 09:04.940 have a W . R . P . Coordinator , the 09:04.940 --> 09:06.607 workforce recruitment program 09:06.607 --> 09:09.140 coordinator was in vitro . It's Cheryl 09:09.140 --> 09:13.140 Williams Peten and you 09:13.150 --> 09:15.740 send the email directly to the link 09:15.740 --> 09:18.320 that you see on the slide . If you are 09:18.330 --> 09:20.960 individual disabilities , Cheryl will 09:20.960 --> 09:22.904 respond to you and provide you the 09:22.904 --> 09:24.904 background information necessary to 09:24.904 --> 09:27.560 apply under either the W program or the 09:27.560 --> 09:29.671 scheduling hiring authority program . 09:29.671 --> 09:31.782 If you are an individual disabilities 09:31.940 --> 09:34.162 as you can see here , here's some other 09:34.162 --> 09:36.273 opportunities for veterans , military 09:36.273 --> 09:38.440 spouses and disabled veterans . And we 09:38.440 --> 09:40.218 also have the National Security 09:40.218 --> 09:42.329 education program , recipients of the 09:42.329 --> 09:44.830 insect award have the opportunity to 09:44.830 --> 09:47.052 study abroad , weather completing their 09:47.052 --> 09:49.219 university studies and the great thing 09:49.219 --> 09:51.386 about this particular program . What's 09:51.386 --> 09:53.600 up on graduation ? You will be 09:53.600 --> 09:55.433 guaranteed employment within the 09:55.433 --> 09:57.489 federal government . Here . You will 09:57.489 --> 10:00.160 see the usa jobs landing page on the 10:00.170 --> 10:02.480 left . You see the keyword blocked and 10:02.480 --> 10:04.480 all right , you'll see the location 10:04.480 --> 10:06.702 block . Those would be very key in just 10:06.702 --> 10:08.924 a moment . But the most important thing 10:08.924 --> 10:11.036 you see on this page at the moment is 10:11.036 --> 10:13.258 to create profile button , which is the 10:13.258 --> 10:15.369 red button right in the middle . This 10:15.369 --> 10:17.536 is where you will begin the process of 10:17.536 --> 10:17.360 your time in the federal government . 10:18.140 --> 10:20.440 Once you click that button , about five 10:20.450 --> 10:22.920 easy steps to go through , you create 10:22.920 --> 10:24.864 yourself a profile , will give you 10:24.864 --> 10:26.642 access to thousands of jobs and 10:26.642 --> 10:28.476 opportunities within the federal 10:28.476 --> 10:31.880 government . As I scroll down here 10:33.340 --> 10:35.062 U . S . A . Jobs gives you the 10:35.062 --> 10:37.229 opportunity to save your favorite jobs 10:37.229 --> 10:39.396 and searches . You can filter it as it 10:39.396 --> 10:41.507 will send things to you on a daily or 10:41.507 --> 10:43.507 weekly basis . So you never miss an 10:43.507 --> 10:45.396 opportunity . You can upload your 10:45.396 --> 10:47.507 resumes and documents . You can store 10:47.507 --> 10:49.396 up to five resumes and employment 10:49.396 --> 10:51.451 documents . Employment documents are 10:51.451 --> 10:53.618 important because if you're say you're 10:53.618 --> 10:55.618 a veteran you can store things like 10:55.618 --> 10:58.680 your 2 14 and any via related 10:58.690 --> 11:00.634 information that you would need to 11:00.634 --> 11:02.690 apply for a position . You can store 11:02.690 --> 11:04.912 papers that you've done research . Have 11:04.912 --> 11:07.079 you done ? So you can put that in with 11:07.079 --> 11:06.810 your resume as well when you're 11:06.810 --> 11:08.977 applying for a particular position and 11:08.977 --> 11:11.540 using it as part of your resume . You 11:11.540 --> 11:13.596 can also make your resume searchable 11:13.596 --> 11:15.484 which means you can open it up so 11:15.484 --> 11:17.484 employers can actually look for you 11:17.484 --> 11:19.540 within the U . S . A . Jobs format . 11:19.680 --> 11:21.736 And as you see on the right with the 11:21.736 --> 11:23.958 green check mark . This is the only way 11:23.958 --> 11:26.013 to apply for jobs within the federal 11:26.013 --> 11:28.124 government . So that's very important 11:28.124 --> 11:27.820 because I did a lot of questions about 11:27.820 --> 11:29.709 that because people see things on 11:29.709 --> 11:32.042 monster in Lincoln and things like that . 11:32.042 --> 11:34.264 But this is the way that you will apply 11:34.264 --> 11:36.542 for jobs within the federal government . 11:38.940 --> 11:41.910 As we saw in the slides earlier . This 11:41.910 --> 11:43.966 is the federal application process . 11:44.640 --> 11:46.529 Obviously you create the USA jobs 11:46.529 --> 11:48.473 profile and when you click on this 11:48.473 --> 11:50.751 particular tab within on the U . S . A . 11:50.751 --> 11:52.862 Jobs landing page , I'll go very slow 11:52.862 --> 11:54.640 here . So you can see this will 11:54.640 --> 11:56.820 actually give you the step by step 11:56.830 --> 12:00.000 process once you start your 12:00.000 --> 12:02.450 profile and begin your job search 12:03.840 --> 12:07.740 shows you each step . And the 12:07.740 --> 12:10.070 great thing about this is you can click 12:10.070 --> 12:12.237 on any one of these links here to give 12:12.237 --> 12:13.848 you more detailed background 12:13.848 --> 12:16.150 information on each one of these steps . 12:18.040 --> 12:20.490 As you can see , it finalizes you at 12:20.490 --> 12:22.601 the agency , select the candidate and 12:22.601 --> 12:24.768 that's the part that is very important 12:24.768 --> 12:26.046 to the job applicant . 12:29.540 --> 12:32.050 As you see in this tab where it says 12:32.050 --> 12:34.217 explore the most urgent hiring needs . 12:34.540 --> 12:37.420 You can do searches by your particular 12:37.420 --> 12:39.087 background , your educational 12:39.087 --> 12:41.990 background skill Senate . There are 12:41.990 --> 12:44.157 many different ways to do job searches 12:44.157 --> 12:46.330 with within the platform . So take 12:46.330 --> 12:48.552 advantage of all of them . So you don't 12:48.552 --> 12:50.441 miss any opportunities going very 12:50.441 --> 12:52.663 slowly . So you can take a look at some 12:52.663 --> 12:55.340 of the disciplines that are located on 12:55.340 --> 12:55.750 here 12:59.540 --> 13:01.540 and down here .

But then there are 13:52.483 --> 13:54.483 other Irene passed that people fall 13:54.483 --> 13:56.860 under and it's too numerous to go into 13:56.870 --> 14:00.260 about which situation you which hiring 14:00.260 --> 14:02.316 path you may fall into .

You 15:13.020 --> 15:16.610 see military spouses there and 15:16.610 --> 15:18.720 displaced federal employees . So 15:18.730 --> 15:20.897 definitely check that stuff out before 15:20.897 --> 15:23.260 you go into this particular format . 15:23.740 --> 15:26.220 Great thing here on the right hiring 15:26.220 --> 15:28.740 pass tells you what all the hiring pads 15:28.740 --> 15:31.250 are right here that you're eligible for , 15:32.940 --> 15:35.051 click on them .

Then scroll down to 15:43.640 --> 15:46.360 position here so you can see what a job 15:46.360 --> 15:47.749 ad actually looks like . 15:53.740 --> 15:55.390 We'll use the IT specialists 16:01.040 --> 16:03.207 on here that will give you an overview 16:03.740 --> 16:05.573 right here . Obviously tells you 16:05.573 --> 16:07.684 they're accepting applications . Very 16:07.684 --> 16:09.851 important to note the closing dates As 16:09.851 --> 16:11.907 you see this one closes out on three 16:11.907 --> 16:14.430 May . Whatever you do do not wait till 16:14.430 --> 16:16.200 the last minute to submit an 16:16.200 --> 16:18.089 application with you and USa jobs 16:18.089 --> 16:19.867 because there may be some other 16:19.867 --> 16:21.978 information that you're going to need 16:21.978 --> 16:23.811 to provide . The agency that you 16:23.811 --> 16:26.033 receive an automated email back to your 16:26.033 --> 16:28.256 email account .

And also , if you make any 16:34.437 --> 16:36.548 mistakes on your resume gives you the 16:36.548 --> 16:38.714 opportunity to go back and correct any 16:38.714 --> 16:38.400 information that you previously 16:38.410 --> 16:42.310 submitted , pay scale and 16:42.310 --> 16:44.421 grade . Obviously that has to do with 16:44.421 --> 16:46.588 your salary . And we'll talk about the 16:46.588 --> 16:48.643 pay scale and grade in just a second 16:48.643 --> 16:51.350 again before you get too far . This 16:51.350 --> 16:53.461 gives you another opportunity to make 16:53.461 --> 16:55.517 sure that you're actually eligible . 16:55.517 --> 16:57.572 This position because this tells you 16:57.572 --> 16:59.572 who is eligible for this particular 16:59.572 --> 17:03.470 position , location , of course 17:03.470 --> 17:05.581 everybody wants to know where they're 17:05.581 --> 17:07.303 working at . So this one isn't 17:07.303 --> 17:09.190 currently at Fort Belvoir , no 17:09.200 --> 17:11.180 relocation expenses . So that's 17:11.180 --> 17:13.180 important to there's a lot of times 17:13.180 --> 17:15.124 that if you're going to take a job 17:15.124 --> 17:17.236 maybe across country , make sure that 17:17.236 --> 17:19.180 they are going to provide you with 17:19.180 --> 17:21.291 relocation expenses because you don't 17:21.291 --> 17:20.850 want to pay for that out of pocket 17:21.740 --> 17:23.629 tells you where , not telling the 17:23.629 --> 17:25.518 workers eligible for a particular 17:25.518 --> 17:27.740 position . And I will tell you the tele 17:27.740 --> 17:29.962 work , it's on the case by case basis , 17:29.962 --> 17:32.018 depending upon the supervisor in the 17:32.018 --> 17:34.240 position and the job that you happen to 17:34.240 --> 17:33.850 be doing , 17:38.040 --> 17:40.270 scroll down here . The duties as you'll 17:40.270 --> 17:42.326 see here . It gives you a summary of 17:42.326 --> 17:44.437 the duties of the responsibilities of 17:44.437 --> 17:46.410 this particular position . They're 17:46.410 --> 17:48.132 looking for two grades in this 17:48.132 --> 17:50.400 particular position . So highly 17:50.400 --> 17:52.456 encourage you to always read through 17:52.456 --> 17:54.400 every job at very very important , 17:54.400 --> 17:56.456 tells you everything that you should 17:56.456 --> 17:58.678 say everything is going to be including 17:58.678 --> 18:00.900 the particular position you're applying 18:00.900 --> 18:02.789 for . It gives you a very uh good 18:02.789 --> 18:04.622 background on what's going to be 18:04.622 --> 18:06.900 included in your job . Whether or not 18:06.900 --> 18:08.900 you're going to be traveling with , 18:08.900 --> 18:10.900 that's going to be a supervisor and 18:10.900 --> 18:12.678 potential promotion within this 18:12.678 --> 18:14.900 particular position . Very important to 18:14.900 --> 18:14.450 check that stuff out 18:18.440 --> 18:21.780 requirements . Again , make sure you 18:21.780 --> 18:23.502 read through these things very 18:23.502 --> 18:26.190 carefully . This will help ensure that 18:26.200 --> 18:28.750 you are successful application process 18:28.760 --> 18:29.960 within usa jobs . 18:32.840 --> 18:35.290 one thing I will point out here well 18:35.290 --> 18:37.457 let's be able to obtain and maintain a 18:37.457 --> 18:40.140 top secret security clearance . So when 18:40.140 --> 18:43.160 you see that in a job ad don't panic . 18:44.440 --> 18:46.662 This is getting a security clearance as 18:46.662 --> 18:48.829 part of the job process . So if you do 18:48.829 --> 18:51.051 not currently have a clearance does not 18:51.051 --> 18:53.329 mean you cannot apply for the position , 18:53.329 --> 18:55.384 please apply for the position . As I 18:55.384 --> 18:57.551 said , they will work on getting you a 18:57.551 --> 18:59.773 clearance to get you in the door if you 18:59.773 --> 18:59.400 are the right candidate for the 18:59.410 --> 19:03.080 position . So that is not necessity . 19:03.080 --> 19:06.100 Once you apply for the position Getting 19:06.100 --> 19:08.211 qualifications and we just talked and 19:08.211 --> 19:10.211 talked about the great a little bit 19:10.211 --> 19:12.378 earlier GS 14 and GS 13 . Obviously it 19:12.378 --> 19:14.322 looks like they were talking about 19:14.322 --> 19:16.322 specialized experience at the GS 13 19:16.322 --> 19:18.433 levels become a GS 14 . Same with the 19:18.433 --> 19:20.767 Gs 13 , you need specialized experience , 19:21.040 --> 19:23.207 That's the G . S . 12 become a 13 . So 19:23.207 --> 19:25.318 if you don't know what that means for 19:25.318 --> 19:28.560 yourself , it's really hard to explain . 19:28.570 --> 19:30.570 So the best thing you can do if you 19:30.570 --> 19:32.626 actually meet all the criteria for a 19:32.626 --> 19:34.570 particular position , go ahead and 19:34.570 --> 19:36.626 apply it to that particular position 19:36.626 --> 19:38.792 within an agency . Once you get to the 19:38.792 --> 19:41.014 agency page , there's going to be about 19:41.014 --> 19:43.181 10-15 questions that you will answer . 19:43.181 --> 19:45.403 If you cannot answer expert on each one 19:45.403 --> 19:47.570 of those questions that tells you that 19:47.570 --> 19:47.430 you're not at the correct rate and you 19:47.430 --> 19:49.597 need to go gray down so you need to go 19:49.597 --> 19:51.652 to grade that's applicable with your 19:51.652 --> 19:53.819 skill set , education and background . 19:54.240 --> 19:56.330 So that's a good way to determine 19:56.340 --> 19:58.284 whether or not you're eligible and 19:58.284 --> 20:00.062 competitive for that particular 20:00.062 --> 20:02.284 position . But if you can answer that , 20:02.284 --> 20:04.396 you're an expert in each one of those 20:04.396 --> 20:06.340 fields on those questions that are 20:06.340 --> 20:08.562 asked in the questionnaire , then to go 20:08.562 --> 20:08.270 ahead and apply for that position 20:13.140 --> 20:15.800 in song skills . Those are actually 20:15.800 --> 20:17.800 needed as well . Within the federal 20:17.800 --> 20:20.022 government attention to detail customer 20:20.022 --> 20:21.911 service , things like that tim or 20:21.911 --> 20:23.967 things that things that are not even 20:23.967 --> 20:23.650 mentioned here . So remember those 20:23.650 --> 20:26.580 things are very important to always be 20:26.580 --> 20:28.890 able to explain any resume . And then 20:28.900 --> 20:31.100 during the interview process of you 20:31.100 --> 20:33.267 know how you work together in a team , 20:33.267 --> 20:35.378 how you effectively communicated with 20:35.378 --> 20:37.489 others . Things of that nature . Soft 20:37.489 --> 20:39.600 skills like I said are very important 20:39.600 --> 20:43.240 as well . Now this particular position 20:43.240 --> 20:44.796 doesn't have an educational 20:44.796 --> 20:47.018 requirements associated with it . There 20:47.018 --> 20:49.073 are some that do obviously there you 20:49.073 --> 20:51.296 know accountants and doctors and things 20:51.296 --> 20:53.518 of that nature that do have educational 20:53.518 --> 20:55.629 requirements or physicists and things 20:55.629 --> 20:57.684 of that nature but this one does not 20:57.684 --> 20:59.907 but obviously being an I . T . This one 20:59.907 --> 21:02.129 would require certain certifications to 21:02.129 --> 21:04.351 have the position . And if you have any 21:04.351 --> 21:06.573 questions on that the great thing about 21:06.573 --> 21:08.796 that is once you get down to the bottom 21:08.796 --> 21:11.018 of this particular page there will be a 21:11.018 --> 21:10.960 point of contact where you can get more 21:10.960 --> 21:13.690 information on the position .

Another another 21:28.280 --> 21:31.290 thing that can give people out of the 21:31.300 --> 21:33.244 out of the running of a particular 21:33.244 --> 21:35.189 position , make sure that you have 21:35.189 --> 21:37.300 every required document that they are 21:37.300 --> 21:39.420 asking for .

There's a phone number 22:28.419 --> 22:31.260 and an email also an address . But if 22:31.260 --> 22:33.482 you have any particular questions about 22:33.482 --> 22:35.704 the job ad are things that are involved 22:35.704 --> 22:38.270 in within the duties and requirements . 22:38.640 --> 22:41.120 Please contact the servicing 22:41.120 --> 22:43.231 representative .

And again I will 23:20.210 --> 23:22.850 emphasize if you're not an expert in 23:22.850 --> 23:25.110 each one of those questions and go to 23:25.110 --> 23:29.020 another job , another ad with a 23:29.020 --> 23:31.360 lower grade and then look to see if you 23:31.360 --> 23:34.100 happen to be the expert in that 23:34.110 --> 23:36.640 particular field in that particular job 23:36.640 --> 23:40.100 series .

Always very important . 23:52.640 --> 23:55.890 Thank you Andy for that deep dive into 23:55.900 --> 23:58.770 U . S . A . Jobs . Um That was very 23:58.770 --> 24:00.960 helpful information . Hopefully uh the 24:00.960 --> 24:03.560 folks who are listening to this 24:03.560 --> 24:06.010 presentation will have an opportunity 24:06.010 --> 24:08.121 to take the things that you described 24:08.121 --> 24:11.580 and put them into practice at this time . 24:11.590 --> 24:13.760 We're going to go through some 24:13.760 --> 24:16.180 frequently asked questions which will 24:16.190 --> 24:19.530 also hopefully uh aid or 24:19.530 --> 24:23.170 assist folks who are trying to find 24:23.540 --> 24:25.373 opportunities within the federal 24:25.373 --> 24:28.600 government . So the first frequently 24:28.600 --> 24:31.860 asked question , this one goes to you . 24:31.860 --> 24:33.916 Andy . In fact , I think they all do 24:33.916 --> 24:36.280 what type of skill set is needed or 24:36.280 --> 24:39.270 required for undergraduate applicants 24:39.280 --> 24:40.850 applying for jobs . 24:43.340 --> 24:45.340 That's where I would go back to the 24:45.340 --> 24:47.507 particular job ad and look to see what 24:47.507 --> 24:49.562 the skills are requirements for each 24:49.562 --> 24:51.570 particular position or you know , 24:51.570 --> 24:53.737 they'll they'll lay that out for you . 24:53.737 --> 24:55.459 And uh again , if you have any 24:55.459 --> 24:57.990 questions , I always refer to the pOC 24:57.990 --> 25:00.046 of the job because they can give you 25:00.046 --> 25:02.320 more detailed explanation of that help 25:02.330 --> 25:05.090 an applicant . Because obviously when 25:05.090 --> 25:06.812 somebody is new to the federal 25:06.812 --> 25:08.979 government , they want to , you know , 25:08.979 --> 25:08.750 we want them to have the best 25:08.750 --> 25:10.861 experience possible and give them the 25:10.861 --> 25:13.050 best opportunity to get through the 25:13.050 --> 25:15.300 application process . So it is fair to 25:15.300 --> 25:18.930 say that skills required is 25:18.930 --> 25:21.960 unique to each individual position . 25:21.970 --> 25:23.914 And so the best place to find that 25:23.914 --> 25:27.320 information is in uh the 25:27.330 --> 25:29.530 requirements of the job description 25:29.540 --> 25:31.429 definitely carl . And one thing I 25:31.429 --> 25:33.596 didn't mention and I'd like to mention 25:33.596 --> 25:35.818 also , you really need a deep dive into 25:35.818 --> 25:37.984 each job . Ad not just apply for a job 25:37.984 --> 25:40.096 based on the title of the job because 25:40.096 --> 25:42.318 there are many times if you'll see jobs 25:42.318 --> 25:44.262 that are labeled Program manager , 25:44.262 --> 25:46.484 program analysts that have a great deal 25:46.484 --> 25:48.373 of information them and it may be 25:48.373 --> 25:50.151 something that's suitable for a 25:50.151 --> 25:52.318 particular candidate . But they didn't 25:52.318 --> 25:52.280 go through and look at that particular 25:52.280 --> 25:54.710 job . Ad because that does not tell you 25:54.710 --> 25:56.488 what the discipline is for that 25:56.488 --> 25:58.599 particular position other than it's a 25:58.599 --> 26:00.377 program manager position . So I 26:00.377 --> 26:02.377 encourage people to go in there and 26:02.377 --> 26:04.599 actually read through them because they 26:04.599 --> 26:06.599 may find a job that they never knew 26:06.599 --> 26:06.240 that was available to them or that they 26:06.240 --> 26:08.407 were interested until they actually go 26:08.407 --> 26:10.710 out and look . The second frequently 26:10.710 --> 26:13.270 asked question is about internships , 26:14.140 --> 26:17.320 are there internships that transition 26:17.330 --> 26:20.930 into full time employment or jobs that 26:20.930 --> 26:22.930 will be dependent on the particular 26:24.140 --> 26:26.340 directorate ? Are individuals that you 26:26.340 --> 26:28.229 work for whether or not they will 26:28.229 --> 26:30.520 continue that internship into an actual 26:30.530 --> 26:33.650 job itself . But normally once you 26:33.650 --> 26:35.761 clean internship you will be required 26:35.761 --> 26:37.706 to go through the U . S . A . Jobs 26:37.706 --> 26:39.928 process and apply just like the general 26:39.928 --> 26:41.928 public . Once you complete that the 26:41.928 --> 26:44.039 internship process , Everything about 26:44.039 --> 26:46.261 the internship to Detroit when they are 26:46.261 --> 26:47.928 available , they are all paid 26:47.928 --> 26:49.928 internships and they do come with a 26:49.928 --> 26:52.150 security clearance . Okay ? Thank you . 26:52.150 --> 26:54.150 Andy . Ah The next frequently asked 26:54.150 --> 26:56.490 question , what type of opportunities 26:56.490 --> 26:58.960 are there for international students ? 26:59.740 --> 27:02.150 Unfortunately for deter there are none 27:02.160 --> 27:03.827 due to the security clearance 27:03.827 --> 27:05.882 requirements of each position . Each 27:05.882 --> 27:07.716 position within deter requires a 27:07.716 --> 27:09.882 minimum of secret security clearance . 27:09.882 --> 27:12.049 So you have to be a U . S . Citizen to 27:12.049 --> 27:15.090 be able to apply . Okay . Thank you . 27:15.100 --> 27:17.170 Now that applies for Detrol . What 27:17.170 --> 27:19.281 about other parts of the government ? 27:19.640 --> 27:22.520 Mhm . That and there's where I will go 27:22.520 --> 27:25.250 back to the hiring pass because they 27:25.250 --> 27:27.417 will help you determine whether or not 27:27.417 --> 27:29.250 you're eligible for a particular 27:29.250 --> 27:31.306 position . And it will also indicate 27:31.306 --> 27:33.028 whether or not they are taking 27:33.028 --> 27:34.806 international students in those 27:34.806 --> 27:37.028 particular positions . So that does not 27:37.028 --> 27:38.917 apply to all positions within the 27:38.917 --> 27:40.861 federal government , but just to a 27:40.861 --> 27:40.570 majority of them with the Department of 27:40.570 --> 27:42.690 Defense positions but not not the 27:42.690 --> 27:46.340 federal government overall . Okay , 27:46.350 --> 27:49.120 thank you . Uh So the next question you 27:49.120 --> 27:51.660 did touch on during the U . S . A . 27:51.660 --> 27:53.820 Jobs deep dive , but I'm gonna ask it 27:53.830 --> 27:56.090 again , just to make sure we're clear 27:56.100 --> 27:58.770 uh is a master's degree or higher 27:58.780 --> 28:02.280 required to get a job . So as we saw in 28:02.280 --> 28:04.502 this particular position that I brought 28:04.502 --> 28:06.740 up on the USS platform , the position 28:06.740 --> 28:08.796 there was no educational requirement 28:08.796 --> 28:10.684 and you will find that many times 28:10.684 --> 28:10.340 within the federal government . There 28:10.340 --> 28:12.340 is no educational requirement for a 28:12.340 --> 28:14.451 number of the jobs that are out there 28:14.451 --> 28:16.820 that being said . Please check out the 28:16.820 --> 28:19.042 job ad to ensure that there isn't one . 28:19.042 --> 28:20.820 Or if there is one , you may be 28:20.820 --> 28:22.931 eligible for the position and you can 28:22.931 --> 28:25.320 also use your educational background as 28:25.330 --> 28:27.497 as experience . We don't when applying 28:27.497 --> 28:29.330 for a position and that includes 28:29.330 --> 28:31.386 research papers you've done projects 28:31.386 --> 28:33.552 that you worked on . So please be sure 28:33.552 --> 28:36.370 to include those on your resume and 28:36.370 --> 28:38.710 also any supporting documentation as I 28:38.710 --> 28:41.020 spoke on earlier , that can be stored 28:41.020 --> 28:43.187 within the U . S . A . Jobs platform . 28:43.240 --> 28:45.407 So any , like I said , any of that can 28:45.407 --> 28:47.351 be used as an experience as well . 28:47.351 --> 28:49.518 Thank you . Andy . The next frequently 28:49.518 --> 28:52.380 asked question is about uh education 28:52.380 --> 28:55.960 benefits , what tuition 28:56.440 --> 29:00.050 forgiveness benefits are available to 29:00.050 --> 29:04.000 graduates that's dependent upon the 29:04.010 --> 29:06.460 uh particular hiring manager and the 29:06.470 --> 29:08.910 the director that they work in . We do 29:08.910 --> 29:11.280 have that uh tuition forgiveness 29:11.290 --> 29:13.623 available within the federal government . 29:13.623 --> 29:15.401 That's something that you would 29:15.401 --> 29:17.457 negotiate as part of your onboarding 29:17.457 --> 29:19.568 within within your position . So it's 29:19.568 --> 29:21.901 not a guarantee that you would get that , 29:21.901 --> 29:23.679 but it's something that you can 29:23.679 --> 29:25.846 definitely ask for . You know , as far 29:25.846 --> 29:28.179 as the tuition forgiveness is concerned , 29:28.179 --> 29:30.290 Great , thank you . The next question 29:30.290 --> 29:32.234 is , will the government pay for a 29:32.234 --> 29:33.790 master's degree ? There are 29:33.790 --> 29:35.846 opportunities within different where 29:35.846 --> 29:37.957 you can apply to a complete a masters 29:37.957 --> 29:40.234 degree as within most federal agencies . 29:40.234 --> 29:42.068 They have , you know , further , 29:42.068 --> 29:43.846 further your education programs 29:43.846 --> 29:46.012 available . We have a great one within 29:46.012 --> 29:48.400 detras , it happens annually . So yes , 29:48.400 --> 29:51.670 you can apply to get not only masters 29:51.670 --> 29:53.892 degree , doctoral degrees and things of 29:53.892 --> 29:56.114 that nature , but it's just a , I think 29:56.114 --> 29:58.226 that you have to apply once you're an 29:58.226 --> 30:00.448 employee within the agency and then you 30:00.448 --> 30:02.670 have to be selected for that particular 30:02.670 --> 30:04.837 program . You get paid back on that as 30:04.837 --> 30:07.800 well . So to add some fidelity to that 30:07.800 --> 30:10.020 answer . Andy uh can you talk a little 30:10.020 --> 30:12.620 bit about whether or not uh Those 30:12.620 --> 30:14.990 programs are competitive ? Yeah , they 30:14.990 --> 30:17.101 actually very highly competitive . We 30:17.101 --> 30:19.268 have a number of people that apply for 30:19.268 --> 30:21.490 those each year . So depending upon the 30:21.490 --> 30:23.601 level degree that you know whether or 30:23.601 --> 30:25.657 not it's a technical , non technical 30:25.657 --> 30:27.657 degree , those things play a factor 30:27.657 --> 30:29.768 into the decision making of the board 30:29.768 --> 30:31.879 when they when they conduct the board 30:31.879 --> 30:34.046 each year . So basically tastes good , 30:34.046 --> 30:36.268 strong package and you know , something 30:36.268 --> 30:38.490 that if it benefits the agency , that's 30:38.490 --> 30:40.657 what they're looking at . So , again , 30:40.657 --> 30:42.768 very highly competitive but not under 30:42.768 --> 30:42.600 the realm of possibility for somebody 30:42.600 --> 30:45.020 to get that paid for . Thank you . The 30:45.020 --> 30:48.200 last question for today , 30:48.210 --> 30:52.100 can you talk about ? Or please talk 30:52.100 --> 30:55.750 about where one might look to find post 30:55.760 --> 30:58.420 doc opportunities or postdoctoral 30:58.420 --> 31:00.642 opportunities ? Yes . And that would be 31:00.642 --> 31:02.920 again , would be the USA jobs platform . 31:02.920 --> 31:04.809 As a matter of fact , the keyword 31:04.809 --> 31:06.740 search block that I showed on the 31:06.750 --> 31:09.270 landing page . You can just type that 31:09.270 --> 31:11.159 in the keyword search and it will 31:11.159 --> 31:13.326 actually pull up those opportunities . 31:13.326 --> 31:15.437 So you can basically you utilize that 31:15.437 --> 31:17.548 keyword search for most anything that 31:17.548 --> 31:19.548 you're looking for , as long as you 31:19.548 --> 31:21.659 have correct spelling and it actually 31:21.659 --> 31:23.659 exists within the federal workspace 31:23.659 --> 31:25.826 will actually bring up anything that's 31:25.826 --> 31:28.103 available to you . Perfect . All right . 31:28.103 --> 31:27.080 And so I think that's all the 31:27.080 --> 31:29.191 frequently asked questions . There is 31:29.191 --> 31:31.302 one question that I think you touched 31:31.302 --> 31:33.413 on that I'd ask that we talk a little 31:33.413 --> 31:36.380 bit more about for greater clarity Andy 31:36.380 --> 31:40.260 and that is can you speak to the 31:40.260 --> 31:42.810 distinctions that can be found with 31:42.810 --> 31:45.980 regard to eligibility for 31:45.980 --> 31:49.260 position for all sources versus 31:49.270 --> 31:51.560 internal or government only sources ? 31:52.940 --> 31:55.107 Yes . So if you see open the public on 31:55.107 --> 31:57.107 the job ad , anybody is eligible to 31:57.107 --> 31:59.218 apply for that particular position as 31:59.218 --> 32:01.329 long as they meet the requirements of 32:01.329 --> 32:03.551 the job ad Again , there are times that 32:03.551 --> 32:05.662 you will see that there are jobs that 32:05.662 --> 32:07.718 are not open to the public . They're 32:07.718 --> 32:09.884 only open and turn . It's important to 32:09.884 --> 32:11.829 go back to the hiring paths that I 32:11.829 --> 32:13.773 showed within the U . S . A . Jobs 32:13.773 --> 32:16.070 platform because they will give you the 32:16.080 --> 32:18.191 greatest feel of flexibility that you 32:18.191 --> 32:20.247 have as an applicant and what you're 32:20.247 --> 32:22.830 eligible for . So again , I put stop 32:22.830 --> 32:25.760 that and to check that out to make sure 32:25.760 --> 32:28.450 you are eligible for you apply . So you 32:28.450 --> 32:30.394 don't waste your time applying for 32:30.394 --> 32:32.672 something that you're not eligible for . 32:32.672 --> 32:36.230 And along those lines . Andy . Um my 32:36.230 --> 32:38.174 experience has been that there are 32:38.174 --> 32:41.440 times where the same job has two 32:41.440 --> 32:43.730 announcements , one of those that is 32:43.730 --> 32:47.010 open to all and one that might be for 32:47.010 --> 32:49.232 government employees only . And so it's 32:49.232 --> 32:52.560 really important to be attentive to 32:52.560 --> 32:56.200 which application you're choosing when 32:56.200 --> 32:59.790 you click apply for this job . That's 32:59.790 --> 33:01.957 correct because if you do happen to go 33:01.957 --> 33:05.120 the one that's internal only , you will 33:05.130 --> 33:07.130 render yourself ineligible for that 33:07.130 --> 33:09.130 particular position because at that 33:09.130 --> 33:12.160 position is only for his employees . So 33:12.160 --> 33:14.327 always make sure to check those hiring 33:14.327 --> 33:17.050 pass . That's a looking looking back at 33:17.050 --> 33:19.272 that . There's about four opportunities 33:19.272 --> 33:21.217 for you to check that prior to you 33:21.217 --> 33:23.439 submitting your application , including 33:23.439 --> 33:25.661 the one when you start getting ready to 33:25.661 --> 33:27.772 submit your application for the final 33:27.772 --> 33:27.650 time . Once you've uploaded to your 33:27.650 --> 33:30.520 resume supporting documents and things 33:30.520 --> 33:32.687 of that nature . And I'll ask you once 33:32.687 --> 33:34.687 again just to make sure that you're 33:34.687 --> 33:36.909 eligible for that particular position . 33:36.909 --> 33:39.870 All right .
