[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do things work differently in the defense/intelligence as opposed to the civil world? I applied for a few dozen defense/intelligence positions and got zero response other than automated rejections (and even then only 15% of the time). The standard advice to tailor my resume for each and every single position might work in theory, but ... I can get a 10-20% response rate from crafting a cover letter + a standard resume to private industry positions. Maybe 10-20 minutes per job posting. Why should I spend 2+ hours per fed position crafting a resume and answering the litany of essay questions (or are those actually gone away now?) [/quote] The essay questions are gone now. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll ever make it past the initial culling process if you don't re-tailor your resume for each posting you go for. If you don't want to re-tailor, don't bother applying at all. It's a choice you can make.[/quote]
