Learn moreThe four situations we consult on
The hour is built around where you are in your federal career. Every session ends with a plan you can act on the same day.
Your first federal application
The right occupational series and grade level for your background, and how to match your experience to an announcement.
Promotion or a new agency
You have a current resume. We map strategies to get promoted, change series, or change agencies, and name what was missing from past applications.
An outdated resume
We work through years of experience, accomplishments, and challenges, with homework to prepare before the session.
Applications that go nowhere
A review of past applications that did not result in Best Qualified, Referred, or an interview, and what to change.
