Both corporate Postal and
civil service jobs
require a comprehensive federal style resume and often Knowledge, Skills &
Abilities (KSA) statements. Visit
http://federaljobs.net/resume.htm for complete details. The Book of U.S. Government
Jobs provides comprehensive federal resume and KSA guidance with
numerous examples to help you rate as high as possible and to be called for
an interview. You are able to compile your federal style resume online
through carious resume builders however it is best to draft your resume
offline first. You will need a considerable amount of information for your
resume and you need to take your time to tailor your resume to the job
announcement. Complete guidance is available in
The Book of U.S. Government
Jobs or you can hire a
resume
writing service if needed.
The two primary Postal application forms are the
PS Form 2591 Application for Employment,
a four page document and the PS Form
2181-A that is used for Pre-Employment Screening. Forms are printed in
Appendix C of "Post Office Jobs" and we have
downloadable versions on our "Resource" page.
Use these forms to draft your application prior to receipt of the job
announcement.
