Document with solid fillFEDERAL APPLICATION TIPS

UNDERSTANDING THE RESUME REVIEW PROCESS


The hiring agency (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) will start reviewing applications once the job announcement closes. Human Resources (HR) will review your application to make sure you are eligible and meet all the job qualifications, and will place applicants into quality categories: Not qualified, Minimally qualified, Highest qualified, etc. You are ranked into these categories based on the duration and the degree of experience that your résumé demonstrates in the competencies identified in the vacancy announcement and applicant questionnaire. 

 

After HR reviews all applications, they send the highest qualified applicants to the hiring official—these applicants will see a Referred status in their application status. All other applicants (not being considered) will see a Not Referred status. 

 

The hiring official will review the “highest qualified” applications and select applicants to interview based on agency policy. The hiring manager will contact applicants to schedule interviews, which can include a panel, in-person interviews, phone interviews, and multiple rounds of interviews (e.g. a phone interview then an in-person interview).
