The SES application process is daunting and formidable, filled with confusing terms and jargon and loaded with stringent requirements. The vacancy announcements read like technical manuals, full of caveats, choices, and sometimes-conflicting information. The process can be successfully negotiated, however, if you keep in mind one basic tenet, and that is that the development of a successful SES application is both an art and a science. It is the careful marriage of the art and science that will result in a strong SES application and ultimate selection of you as the best-qualified candidate. Our SES applications carefully identify and comply with the required mechanics of SES applications while carefully and artfully presenting our customers’ most valuable contributions and potential assets to the hiring organization.
Our SES writers are recognized as authorities in SES ECQ writing. They will weave a tapestry of your executive talents into an interview-winning SES application.
Our quality controlled process ensures no stones are left unturned in the development, process, and delivery of your SES application.
In summary, your entire presentation will undergo intense scrutiny by the hiring authority, who is primarily concerned with your technical, Senior Executive Service, and Executive Core Qualifications.
All parts are equally important, and even if you have an “in” with the hiring authority, we at SES Writers will always tell our clients to remain vigilant and not rest on their laurels. There may be someone else out there with just as much experience, but who may have a better presentation. In federal hiring, the presentation is key. It is your interview. In the private sector, it’s true that “if you can just get that interview, you can get the job.” In the federal sector, you have so many “hoops” to jump through before anyone who knows you can lift a finger to help. Your application has to go through many screenings before you get to that interview. So, what we tell our SES clients is that “your application IS your interview.”
We will provide a no-cost career consult to determine the type of resume and level of composition and presentation. Then we will relay a customized quote based on your requirements and goals. Finally, with your agreement, we will assign one of our Master Senior Executive Writers to work with you in developing your presentation.
