Career Changers Tips

CAREER CHANGER ADVICE

If you are an experienced worker looking for a Federal job, you are in good company. More than 40 percent of the people hired by the Federal Government last year were experienced workers over the age of 35. These tips will help you to get credit for your expertise.

• Estimate your GS level. As mentioned in this article, the Federal Government classifies positions according to the complexity of their job duties and their level of responsibility. People qualify for a given level based on education, experience, or a combination of both. The most common classification system is the General Schedule (GS). To find your GS level, use the table on page 6 to estimate the level you qualify for based on education alone. If you also have relevant experience, your GS level will be higher than that. If you have had relevant managerial responsibilities or do complex work independently, you might qualify for a GS-12 or above. To be certain, read the job descriptions in vacancy announcements.

• Understand job requirements. Vacancy announcements often say that a worker needs experience equivalent to a particular GS level. A vacancy announcement at the GS-12 level, for example, might say that you need 1 year of experience at the GS-11 level. Some announcements give examples of what that experience could be. Others don’t. The simplest way to know if you qualify for a job is to read the job duties. If the work described there is only slightly more complex or responsible than work you have done in the past, you might be eligible for the position.

If some of the required experience for a job seems unique to the Federal Government, explore further by calling the agency or the contact person for the position. You might learn that your private-sector experience meets the requirement.

• Be flexible about titles. If you want to be a manager or supervisor, do not limit yourself to openings with those words in the job title. Jobs with widely varying levels of responsibility are often listed under the same title.

• Be specific about past experience. Human resources managers will study the details of your application to decide if you qualify for a job. They will compare your past work to the kinds of tasks performed at different GS levels. Managers will pay close attention to the amount of time you spent in each job. They usually will estimate exactly how many months or years you have done each major job task.

When creating a resume or writing statements about your skills, show your level of expertise by explaining who you reported to or worked with and how your work was used.

• Explain past job titles. Use job titles that clearly describe what you did. You may want to put the equivalent Federal title in parentheses next to your actual job titles.

• Consider Senior Executive Service. Finally, if you have substantial experience in high-level leadership positions, you might qualify for the Senior Executive Service (SES). SES positions require you to answer a set of standard questions about your leadership ability. A review board established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management will certify your qualifications based on your answers and your experience. For more information, see www.opm.gov/ses or call (202) 606-1800.

Anita — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:08:59 +0000

Veterans Internship Program

Printer Friendly

Overview

The County of San Diego’s core values mandate that a skilled, competent, diverse workforce be developed and managed. In view of that, departments within the County of San Diego are always looking for the best candidates to fill entry and journey-level positions in a variety of occupations. A significant pool of potential candidates is the Veterans’ community of San Diego County, which has one of the largest concentrations of veterans in the State. This program is designed to afford veterans with on-the-job training and work experience that will enable them to effectively compete for jobs.

Program Objectives

This program is designed for individuals interested in pursuing a career in County government. This program is a non-paid internship during which Veteran Interns work as volunteers in an assignment where they obtain work experience through participation in practical job assignments.

Interns are exposed to the responsibilities of County departments that provide services in such critical areas as public health, child welfare, social services, law enforcement, and general government. Veteran Interns receive both technical job training and guidance on workplace behavior, competencies, individual responsibilities, and development of occupational skill sets. Interns are assigned to assist journey or higher-level workers in either clerical or line departments in order to enhance previous job skills or to gain new experience in the support areas of administrative, technical, office/clerical, information technology, skilled craft, or heavy maintenance and operational support.

Program Structure

Eligibility

The veteran must have been discharged or released from active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States under honorable conditions. A valid DD214, Certificate of Discharge or Separation from Active Duty, or other official documents issued by the branch of service are required as verification of eligibility for Veterans’ Preference Credit in competing for regular paid positions at the conclusion of the training period.

Application Process

Veterans must complete a Volunteer Services/Veteran Internship Program Application and are subject to all requirements and guidelines applicable to volunteers. Veterans can review the list of departments that have established a volunteer program and call the Department Volunteer Coordinator in which they are interested to find out about volunteer openings.

For general questions about the program, contact the Program Administrator, Sarah Confer at (858) 505-6306 or sarah.confer@sdcounty.ca.gov.
