Following. I would love to hear more about the process, and how long your resume was if you don't mind sharing. The data points seem to be all over the map.
My resume was two full pages. I ended up revising it several times before finally posting it as each time I looked over the requirements I noticed something new. For instance with each position I had to list number of hours worked and the name of my supervisor. So I put:
Job Title - Company Name - Albuquerque, NM - May 2015 – Oct. 2017 – Full-Time 40-50 Hours/Week – Supervisor: John Doe
I basically had my current job with 7 bullet points of 1-2 lines each followed by my job title, company, period of employment, hours/week, and supervisor name for my last three positions (all with my current company) going back about 9 years. I had a separate section for my military experience as this is a civilian job with the Air Force. In that case I included bullets (4-5) for each of my last two positions. I don't remember who my supervisor was when I start going back 8-10 years so I just left that part blank figuring that my supervisor for a part-time position 10 years ago was not really that important.
Finally I had an education section and skills and additional information where I had four more bullets listing my proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite, Eagle Scout, and a recent volunteer role.
The process started with a posting on USAJOBS.gov I uploaded my resume and some backup documents (DD214 to prove military service/veterans preferences, college transcript, etc.) then I was taken to another website to verify that information. I then had to answer about 15-20 questions asking about my experience/knowledge of various areas relevant to the job I was applying for. I then rated myself as anywhere from "I have no idea" to "I'm an expert" (those aren't the way the ratings are really worded). I believe the choices were 1-5 and most of mine were 3s with just a couple of 2s and 4s and maybe one 5. I would say you don't want to BS this much as they may reject your application if what you're claiming isn't backed up by your resume or other sources.
A couple of weeks later I got a call to setup a phone interview (early November). Since some of the candidates were out of the area they did all phone interviews to make it fair. My interview was with the person who would be my boss, and their boss. It lasted a bit over an hour and had some standard questions as well as a fair amount of time explaining the job. They warned me that it was something of a new position and much of the job would be creating the processes and systems needed for it as there wasn't really anything in place for me to fall in on. I was told at the end of the interview they had one more interview after me and they would have their decision in the next week or so. After two weeks I called the person I had interviewed with who apologized they hadn't made a decision yet but I was in the top two and to please send me references. I did so immediately and had no response whatsoever from just before Thanksgiving until today (about 10 weeks). I tried calling and emailing again in early December but no response. USAJOBS sent me an automated message in early January indicating I had not been chosen so I assumed they had picked the other position and just didn't want to tell me I hadn't got it. Maybe they did and that person decided not to accept it in the end or ran into a problem with their background check. Maybe I'll find out if/when I take the job.
