What would you consider to be the best practices for a job seeker on Rallypoint?

1) Do deep research on the kind of job you want. That includes internet research, informational interview, shadowing, and short-term internships.
2) Note the gap in skills or qualifications and get specific recommendations from employers who actually employ people doing the work you want on where to get those skills or at least to what standard. See if you can get them to advocate for you in the application phase.
3) Acquire the skills while continuing to build your network through industry meetups, informational interviews, and networking events. ericburleson.com/ultimate-guide-info-interviews
4) Identify no more than five potential positions where you would be a good fit.
5) Write a new resume tailored to the keywords on each job posting. ericburleson.com/ultimate-guide-resume
6) Write a cover letter specifically addressed to the hiring manager at that company. Ideally, you will know who it is from conducting informational interviews in person or over email with current employees, and they will advocate for you.
7) Follow-up within a week with the hiring manager and try to schedule an interview. While some companies will suggest waiting, being assertive in trying to land an interview can demonstrate better initiative.
8) Practice for the in-person interview with your mentors and advocates.
9) Negotiate for the offer using negotiation techniques you've practiced with a local meetup.
10) Start job. Excel. Profit. Live well.

USA Jobs is a great tool for federal job searches, but I caution potential transitioning job seekers. Read very closely what the announcement states, what questions are asked in the announcements, and modify your USA Jobs Resume to fit the announcement. I recently had to kick a stack of applicants into electronic file 13...why, they did not read or did not modifiy there Resume. Keep" Bottom Line Up Front," In other words don't tell me about you never ending saga of how you took did this that and the other, tell me why you are qualified. Keep it brief, keep it relevant.

Practice interviewing, send your suit/dress what ever you interview in off to the cleaners, don't interview like just got of bed.

Phone interviews: keep it professional as if you are right there in the room with the interviewers. I would advise dress up and sit straight in a chair if you are phone interviewing, you tend not to lose perspective of what you are doing, on the other end we can tell the difference.
