JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
Effective techniques for searching online and writing a resume for a federal job will be taught in the USAJOBS Navigation and Federal Resume Writing course from 8:30-11 a.m. Nov. 30 at the Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Military & Family Readiness Center, building 693.
The course is open to Department of Defense civilians, retirees and dependents of active-duty members who are seeking federal employment on the USAJOBS website. Brian Kenefick, 802nd Force Support Squadron JBSA-Randolph M&FRC community readiness specialist, will teach the class.
Kenefick said the course will include how to conduct an effective job search on the USAJOBS website, how to decipher a federal job announcement, how to construct a resume for a federal job and the application process, how to set up and utilize email notifications on job vacancies from the USAJOBS website and information about the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program, which assists displaced federal employees, and veteran preferences eligibility categories.
Since the USAJOBs website is constantly changing, the class will go over those changes to help job seekers navigate the website, Kenefick said.
“Once they complete the class, they will successfully be able to navigate USAJOBS and apply for positions by themselves,” he said.
Kenefick said individuals are encouraged to bring their laptops to the class to update their resume and apply for a job online so they can get familiar with the entire process.
Kenefick has taught the course for 10 years and is familiar with the USAJOBS website and application process.
If people are unable to make the Nov. 30 USAJOBS Navigation and Federal Resume Writing course, the next class will be held from 8:30-11 a.m. Dec. 15.
To register for the course, call 652-5321 or come by the JBSA-Randolph M&FRC.
