Continue Your Mission: A Career in Federal Service
Your mission to serve our country doesn't have to end with the uniform. The federal government is actively seeking veteran leaders, but its hiring system is a complex labyrinth. At Orōs Tābor, we provide the map and key, ensuring your application stands out.
The Federal Labyrinth: Why Good Candidates Get Lost
The federal hiring process is unlike any other in the world. It is not a system built on networking or personal connections, but on a rigid, rule-based structure of keywords, classifications, and scoring. It is a world with its own language, and fluency is mandatory for entry. For veterans, this presents a unique set of challenges that can feel both frustrating and insurmountable. The skills that made you an exceptional service member—adaptability, leadership under pressure, technical mastery—are often lost in a system that doesn't speak your language.
The first and highest hurdle is the federal resume. Unlike a one-page corporate resume, a federal resume is a detailed, multi-page document that must meticulously mirror the language of the specific job announcement. It is scanned and scored by automated systems long before a human ever sees it. These systems are not programmed to interpret military experience; they are programmed to find exact keyword matches. Your DD-214 and your record of service are not enough. If your resume says "Platoon Sergeant" but the job announcement is looking for a "Supervisory Program Manager," the system will likely fail to see the connection, and your application will be discarded without a second glance.
Furthermore, navigating the vast USAJOBS portal, the government's official employment site, is a mission in itself. Understanding the nuances of different hiring paths—from the competitive service to the excepted service, and special authorities like Veterans' Preference and Schedule A for disabled veterans—is critical. Veterans' Preference is not a guarantee of a job, but a complex system of points and procedures that, if not claimed and documented correctly, can be easily forfeited. It is a powerful advantage, but only for those who know exactly how to use it.
