Nelson, only 107% ov us sivel servents cant right.
Golfer, Tutuz may have a point. Have you had your resume
professionally editted (or atleast checked over by several friends)?
Employers get many resumes for most positions they advertise, and if
they see grammar/spelling errors in 1 of them then they can eliminate
it easily in order to narrow their search.
Also, as you know the government is often very slow and even worse
unorganized. It oftent takes well over 6 months to get a job with the
government even after they decide they want to hire you... they may
simply have your resume and haven't gotten back to you yet. Or on the
worse side, they may have put your resume in a pile that won't get
looked at again for 37 years.
When I was searching for a job, I gave my resume to anyone and
everyone. The job market was pretty bad at the time and it took me 3
years to find a good job (I did other less good work in the meantime)
but in the end it was the federal government who decided to take the
burden of having me as an employee.
1) Don't give up quickly.
2) Have others edit and give recommendations about your resume
3) Send your resume to 50 potential employers that you'd work for
4) Be patient but proactive
--After about 10 days, give those employers a call to find out where
you stand in the hiring process. Be polite and inquisitive. That'll
insure that they look at it atleast and they'll know you're serious
about getting the job.
Best of luck finding that dream job in Florida! |
