I thought what you said apply to the applicants from inside of federal government. If you are not working for government now, just apply online, and usually they have a set of questions on requirements, then what you can do is to provide the answers to each question then upload your resume. I didn't think you need a cover letter unless it requests.
有用的。有时候他们创建了一个pool,然后就丢到脑后了。你可以给他们提个醒,特别是pool快要过期的时候,问他们要不要extend这个pool的有效期,说不定会有惊喜。只要一个pool还有效,就一定要在CV或cover letter里面提到。
不知道。。。虽然总听说,但我也没有考究是不是真的。反正我就是管好自己,不断学习,不断应聘,努力往上爬~~~
我现在也怀疑是不是要email 给interviewer, 有用吗?
That is the only thing we can control. Except for all strategies you mention, there are actually no tricks, but just hard work to improve yourself that can help.
I did kept asking people hoping for the tips before I entered the government and only found that I was capable of improving myself in dealing with all applying situations.
Everyone is unique and the principles you know will help. it all depends on good luck.
我个人的经验是特有用。
当年我就是从PUBLIC COMPETITION进了个POOL,(这个POOL是好几个LEVEL的人都有,是十几个单位共享的。这十几个单位都派人参加了面试,不过面试是两天,不一定每个单位派的人都有机会见到了所有候选人。)
被选进POOL以后,这些单位根据自己要招的人的LEVEL到这个POOL里面挑人见面。见面会安排在一天,每个单位来两个人和候选人见面。当时我见了三四个单位,都说对我感兴趣。不过有一个单位中来的人是当天面试我的那个人,我就觉得和她谈的不错。后来全见完了,建POOL的单位就分别让我们这些候选人和招人的单位进行MATCH,看看是不是互相选的彼此。我当时就联系了那个面试我的人,问他们是不是会选我,还有我比较关心的几个问题,得到满意答复后,我就表示如果选我的话我也愿意选他们。所以我们就MATCH上了。
后来才知道那个POOL从几万人的申请里面挑了一堆考试,几十个面试,进了POOL的也有十几个,最后就APPOINT了两个。真是幸运。你说我要是没问那个单位,随便挑了另外两个其他的单位,人家最终没把我放在第一候选人,没被挑中,冤不冤呀。
