[quote=Anonymous]I help hire a lot and sit on panels at least monthly. We are in a job that doesn't have a specific major associated with it, thus we get SWAMPED by unqualified applicants. We always make it merit promotion because otherwise we'd never be able to weed through. I bet we'd get 5k applications for a GS13 if we opened it up to the whole US. I can't tell how many applicants there were initially, but usually about 80 make it through the computer sort. Then we have SMEs read through those and rank them. Probably only 8 are qualified and only 5 get interviewed. Reading resumes is hard. It takes at least 15 min a resume because we have to fill out excel spreadsheets. And federal resumes are long- most are at least 5 pages. I had a 40 page resume last time which is insanity. I'm in a job with no major required, but a lot of new hires wash out. They just don't have the skills we need. I hate how everyone can say they're an expert. [/quote]
