I have used USAJOBS in the past and was unsuccessful. I believe that was before they updated the site slightly, after the update I was able to apply easier. I also spent a little time reading the helpful information and tips regarding the site. I successfully applied, received notices and a job offer. Just takes time and patience.
Look at the reviews, they say it all. I'll never get the time I wasted on this site back. It's a front for government agencies that are required to post ads but will actually fill them with internal hires, incumbents and friends. Use other sites, become a contractor first, develop relationships with people in your industry, go to jobs fairs... do ANYTHING but waste HOURS for each application here which will end up a dead end.
I used to like to site for at least if you had the right words listed the computer would pass you on to the next stage. Now, it's like the hiring team has found ways to keep the friends employed even if they aren't qualified….hey just copy snd snd paste the job announcement and they will do the rest. Next up is the okey dokey job announcement… you know the one that's open for like 4 or 5 days because they are looking for a particular person….it doesn't matter that there are applicants in the hat. You will never get that job. Then hey the job gets cancelled then resubmitted once again for the same 4 to 5 days only because that guy finally was able to answer his phone and he now can app,y to that particular job. Why bother posting jobs if all you are going to do is hire your buddies to work them? No matter the fact there are several well qualified candidates who applied. Oh yeah…. Let's talk about the multiple resumes you'll need to have at the ready because the jobs that website allows to post openings requires some of the most ridiculous things to be listed within your resume…. And they all want different things listed and different formats. That website gives me anxiety at times. SMH
The website is hopelessly counterinuitive. When an applicant attempts to create a new password, the site responds... by not responding. If you have no intention of allowing applicants to enter the site, on which these same applicants have saved their curricula vitarum (no, I'm right, that's the plural), then why bother keeping this site on line? I recommend you fire your contractor, who built this site, and find some other group of post-millennial geniuses to design something that works.
The requirements for the Wounded Warrior Fellowship Program are straightforward but ambiguous concerning the window of time out of service' (Not clear and open to debate). I have not yet hit my 6-year mark out of active duty, yet according to employees answering the phones I still don't meet the requirement of being within the "last five years." The wording of the requirement "the last 5 years" is ambiguous and I believe I am still eligible when those words are used. I have connected to employees who get the applications and they have to change the wording, the entire sentence, to explain what the requirement of time is talking about. I plead for some understanding on this. If a person reads a requirement or rule (That isn't clear and isn't specific) thus, ambiguous in its meaning, that person in concern is left to assume what is being said was set up for failure from the start.
I explained to the employees how 5.5 years is still included in the requirement wording "last 5 years." The employees explained to me the meaning of the requirement by rewording' the entire requirement. Never once did they use the exact sentence or words as used in the requirement (and what they were saying made complete sense using the words they used). What they were trying to get me to understand I understood fast because the words they used actually meant specifically what they were talking about and what the program was looking for.
I do believe that if this case were brought to a courthouse my argument would win quick and easy. Wording matters. The words used in the requirement of time separated' set me up for failure.
I have used the USAJobs site for several years, and have yet to land a job interview or even a phone interview. I have been referred for several jobs but always get the "referred but not selected." If you are selling the site has helpful to veterans that need jobs I believe you should help them by letting them know the reasons that they were not selected for employment. Just a thought.
