The Spring Government Workshop Series
The Federal Government Job Search
Part One- Find and Apply for Internships and Jobs in Federal Agencies
Friday, February 13th 12:30- 1:30
Have you always thought it would be cool to work in the field of intelligence, helping to ferret out and stop terrorists before they strike? Or perhaps you've been secretly harboring a desire to serve as a Naval, Marine, Air Force or Army Officer? Or maybe you dream of working in intentional diplomacy? Perhaps you'd like to work for the Federal Reserve Banks, or prosecute financial crimes, or manage government real estate? If a desk job doesn't suit you, you could work outdoors in a national park or monument or perform field research into environmental threats? Or maybe you could see yourself working to keep America's food supply or offices and work-sites safe and disease free? If education is more your thing but you dream of living abroad, maybe you'd like a career teaching the children of our service men and women on military bases all over the world?
All of these opportunities (and more) are available with the Federal Government. The problem is that most students are stymied by what is often a very lengthy and confusing application process. Whether you are only slightly familiar with federal agency opportunities, or you have just begun to think about them and know absolutely nothing yet: THIS is the workshop you need to attend. Students will gain an understanding of USAJobs, Federal Pathways opportunities for both interns and recent grads, the different types of Federal hiring, and much, much more!
Part Two- Write a Winning Federal Resume
Friday, February 20th 12:30-1:30
Have you been using your standard one page resume or multipage CV to apply for Federal jobs? Have you been frustrated by the lack of response to your applications? Were you aware that the content, style, and format of a winning Federal Resume is quite different from what you might use outside of government? This workshop will teach you tips and tricks that will help your resume stand out to Federal hiring managers. We'll talk about KSAs, keywording, and how to match your skills to the position you seek.
This workshop is best suited to those who attended Part One, or who already have some familiarity with Federal hiring in general, as we will only briefly review the basic find and apply concepts.
The State Government Job Search
Finding and Applying for Jobs in State Government Agencies
Friday, February 27 12:30-1:30
Erika Ryerson from the Office of State Employment Relations and Lisa Dally from the Department of Administration will discuss how to find your fit with the many opportunities available in Wisconsin State Government Agencies. Erika and Lisa will walk you through the hiring process from an insider's perspective, share tips and tricks for making the job search easier and provide examples and interactive practice opportunities. There will also be plenty of time for Q&A.
Information in this workshop will be most relevant to a job search in Wisconsin, but the basic concepts are applicable to agency job searches in most US states.
All workshops take place at Union South (TITU) and require a valid UW ID #. No RSVP necessary.
