[quote=Anonymous]HI, I am applying to federal jobs for the first time.  In the section where they list a bunch of skills/tasks and ask you to rate yourself from never done it up to expert, is that the key criteria for being qualified for the position?

The job I want to apply for defines those skills very narrowly, such that you pretty much need to be in a govt agency doing that work in order to be able to claim those skills.  (I have done related work outside govt that I think is quite transferable, but I can't say that I drafted the program regulations, for example, since I have not been inside an agency and done that work before.  I have analyzed the regs from the outside, which is a related skill).

Do I have a chance with related skills, or do I have to be able to say I've already done the specific tasks in this job to be much of a candidate for it?

Thanks!

Also, looking for recommendations for reformatting resume for fed jobs -- any suggested sites with examples of this? [/quote]
