FIND THE RIGHT ANSWER Frequently Asked Questions

The Federal hiring process is different than other hiring processes. In order to move forward in the process, your application must look EXACTLY like the Federal HR staff needs it to look. Any deviances from what they want can make you ineligible to move forward in the process. Additionally, there are nuances many are unaware of—things that you should do and things that you should NOT do—can propel you or derail you in the process. There are three reasons why hiring a coach is beneficial to you.

•       First, a coach can assist you in understanding what you should do in the Federal hiring process.
•       Second, a coach can assist you in understanding what you should NOT do in the Federal hiring process.  Knowing what to do and what not to do can accelerate the time it takes you to receive your job offer, helping you earn your Federal salary and benefits sooner.  If we can help you get started with the Federal government even one pay period sooner, the service would have paid for itself.
•       Third, we work with our clients to negotiate salary and vacation time, two things that may be negotiable after a Federal job offer is received. Most of our clients negotiate somewhere between $5,000 to $7,000 more than they were offered; others negotiate higher salaries up to $10,000 to $15,000 above their original offer. The bottom line is we can save you time and angst and earn you more money in the long run.
