By JONNELLE MARTE

The combination of retiring baby boomers and the government's stimulus package has created a bright spot in today's gloomy job market: Uncle Sam is hiring.

And more twentysomethings are lining up, drawn by attractive salaries and benefit packages.

"Government hasn't grown this much in decades," says Dennis V. Damp, a retired federal worker and author of "The Book of U.S. Government Jobs." Some agencies plan to hire tens of thousands of workers over the next several years, he says.

The process for landing a government job is more involved than a traditional job search. Here are some tips:

Where to Look

The largest database of federal jobs is at www.USAjobs.gov. A recent search revealed more than 46,000 opportunities world-wide. You can search for positions by a specific agency, occupation or location.

College students and recent graduates can search for internships and jobs at Students.gov, which provides information on choosing a college, career development and other issues.

Those sites aren't all-inclusive, however. Also visit sites for specific agencies. USA.gov has an index of sites for most federal-government departments and agencies. If you aren't sure which agency you would like to work for, it might help to visit BestPlacestoWork.org, which ranks federal agencies based on employee satisfaction.

Don't rule out internships or temporary work, which often can lead to permanent positions.

How to Apply

The typical one-page résumé won't suffice here. Résumés submitted for federal jobs can easily be three to five pages long because greater details about your education and work history are required. For instance, you should include addresses for former employers, along with the name and phone number of immediate supervisors.

Mr. Damp recommends using bullet points to explain specific steps taken and tools used for special accomplishments.

USAjobs.gov and some agencies' sites have résumé-building tools that walk you through necessary sections. But it's up to you to craft a detailed response.

Your biggest guide should be the job announcement itself. Print it out. Study it. Then, use the same key words from the job description in your résumé; this shows how your work experience makes you qualified for that job. Leave out old or irrelevant work experience.

"Give them the needle instead of the haystack," says Lily Whiteman, author of "How to Land a Top-Paying Federal Job."

Each agency has different requirements and application procedures, so make sure to include everything the application asks for, she says. Too often, candidates get eliminated for leaving out college transcripts, not sending proof of military service or ignoring essay questions, Ms. Whiteman adds.

You also can hire a career coach or buy books for guidance with the application process. But be wary of expensive test-preparation books because most government jobs today no longer require a written test.

The Interview

The basic rules apply for job interviews. Read up on the department or agency's recent issues and accomplishments beforehand. Go to a department's Web site, read news releases and search for news articles mentioning the department. Multiple interview panels may be required for high-level positions.

·         Recruiters Don’t Read Them - Yes and no.  The good ones do and the others should.  For all the reasons listed here plus it gives them pre-packaged selling points for their clients, should they consider you a candidate.  They, after all, are another example of an interview before the interview.  

 

Are cover letters sometimes overlooked?  Yes.  On the other hand, they are quite often a deciding factor as to whether or not you will get an interview.  So, take the time to put together a document that reflects you and why you should be considered over the other hundreds of applicants.  This attention to detail could be the first step towards getting you the interview you want and the job you deserve.

 T-Shirt Design Brief

Offsite Freelance Opportunity:
We are looking for someone who is able to do more than just design from direction but who can also conceptualize designs that embody the message of our brand smile & move™.  We see ourselves becoming like Life is Good www.lifeisgood.com someday.  We’d like to begin with a t-shirt line and go from there….  

We have ideas in mind but need some help getting from point A (we have a message and brand we love) to point B (capturing the essence of the brand in a t-shirt design).  Life is Good has Jake, we are still trying to come up with the concept that embodies smile & move….  So, far we have Smovish words.  For example, a Smover is someone who holds themselves accountable to their actions and thinks others should too.  Smonday is one of the best days of the week for a Smover, they don’t wait around for Friday to get here.   We have revised songs, The Beatles-Smonday, Smonday, Madagascars-I like to Smove it, Smove it!  

We are looking for 3 to 4 graphic designs to begin production on a private label t-shirt line.  Our goal is to change the world by creating a culture of Smover’s.  Your designs should appeal to our current customers as well as those experiencing it for the first time.

Please email your design portfolio and resume to Techa Pacitto at techa@givemore.com.  Please also feel free to contact me by phone, (804) 762-4500 ext. 318.  We will contact eligible candidates to set-up an interview.  

Please check out our website at www.smileandmove.com, and watch our 3 minute video at http://www.smileandmove.com/video/index.aspx. An initial design brief is below…it will most certainly evolve as we get further into the project.

Key Points of smile & move™:
Accountability, The desire to matter to the world, Interdependency…I need you as much as you need me, The group is as important as the individual,  Complain Less, Smile More, Be Thankful, Be Resilient, Be Approachable, Exceed Expectations.
 
Our Target Consumer:  
Our target consumer is active, fun, self-aware, recycles, cares about their community and thinks others should too.  They hold themselves accountable to their actions.  They shop at Life is Good , The Gap, Nordstrom, and Specialty Shops.  Age is just a number; positive attitude is what really matters. They are men, women and children of kindred spirits.

A few styling suggestions to guide you:  
1.        We use word play in conversation, Smover, smovment, smission, and smeltdown.  We also invent songs, I like to Smove it!  Smove it! and Smonday, Smonday. We are interested in seeing our Smovish language on shirts in a fun and fashionable way.
2.        We would like to be in fashion, but without being too forward.  It is important for the design to appeal to the mainstream and not fall victim to fads.  
3.        Consumers should be interested in the t-shirt design whether they know the brand or are experiencing it for the first time.  
4.        We like clean designs.  Our website for example uses lots of white space.  
5.        We would like the shirt to retail around $30, quality matters.
6.        Differentiation among men’s and women’s t-shirts will likely be in shape and color of the shirt.  
7.        We have seen small logo detail on sleeves and on bottom hems which is interesting. You don’t have to do this but please consider it.

Two years ago, if a client told me that the company they were interviewing with was getting ready to check references, I would have thought, "Great!  It sounds like an offer is not far behind."  But now, with unemployment at 8.9%, the job search landscape is far different and more competitive than ever.  As a result, many companies are checking the references of multiple candidates in order to help make their final decision.  So, getting it right with your references is extremely important.  Here are a few tips:
 
·         Be Proactive:  Don't assume the reference and reference checker will connect.  Find out who will be calling your reference and let your reference know.  I would suggest taking the steps to help schedule it.  Not only will this help make certain it happens, but your reference will be in a better state of mind and more prepared for the call.  You want them focused on selling you, not multitasking by driving, checking emails, etc..
 
·         Prepare Your Reference: Schedule a call with your reference to review your background and the position you are interviewing for.  Send them a copy of your resume.  You want them understanding why this is a great job for you.  They need to both think and speak in terms of why your past accomplishments are an indicator of what you are going to do for your future employer.  It is all about being specific, quantifying and qualifying why you are the best hire - period.
 
 
·         You are Only Good at What You Check:  Follow up with your reference afterwards to find to how the call went.  Were there any stumbling points?  Any red flags they think you might need to address or be aware of?  This way you know if there are any points you need to go back and re-address or affirm with your future employer.

There reference check is so much more than verifying employment.  By taking these steps, you will not only properly prepare your reference, but you might discover you need to replace one of the people on your list.  Remember, knowing they are checking references doesn't mean you have the job, but it does mean you are a finalist.  This is the last leg of your journey, so it's time to pull out all the stops.  Make sure your references tip the scales in your favor!
