Since 2006, Robin’s Resumes® leading writer, Robin Schlinger, has helped hundreds of SES clients apply for and pass the Qualifications Review Board. This process involved writing a 5-page or longer resume, a 10-page Executive Core Qualifications (ECQ) package, and in many cases, additional essays. A recent change in hiring SES executives will replace the SES essays with a structured interview and the longer resume with a 2-page resume. It is unclear whether SES applicants will be allowed to seek help from consultants for the 2-page application, and whether the help for the structured interview will be provided by the agency hiring the candidate and OPM once the candidate receives and accepts a job offer.
The ECQs have changed, and Robin’s Resumes® is evaluating the changes.
Until it is known if SES applicants can get help from consultants to apply for federal jobs, Robin’s Resumes® will not be offering a service to help clients apply for these jobs.
