How do you convince a potential employer that you have what it takes to meet and exceed the

writing a functional resume that covers all required KSAs (a statement of Knowledge, Skills &
Abilities). Writing effective KSAs is essential for any applicant in making the right first impression
with potential employers. Employers normally spend less than 30 seconds on each
resume, so effective resume or KSA writing is crucial in making the kind of lasting impression
that will lead to an interview. Making sure that all crucial achievements, skills and
knowledge or experience stand out during the first glance on any resume can take some very

D3. Effective Interviewing Techniques - Freddy Cormier, Neva Jo Schreier, Dorothy Choice, IRS [Go To Top]
An interview can be seen as an opportunity instead of a trial, which is what most people feel that they are on when they are being interviewed for any job position. It is as much of an opportunity for a potential employer to discover what a candidate has to offer their Agency/Employer as well as what the Agency/Employer can offer the candidate. Being aware of exactly what a specific position demands and the kind of skills that are needed in order to perform the job well can allow you to use specific examples of how you might personally
tackle tasks and difficulties that may arise. Common interview advice will always begin with ‘be prepared’ and knowledgeable about the position that is being interviewed for and act excited about the opportunity!!! This Workshop will teach you about the various types of interviews and how to prepare for each type. Many Agencies increasingly rely on behavior interviews since they use your previous behavior to indicate your future performance. In these interviews, employers use standardized methods to mine information relevant to your competency in a particular area or position. In this Workshop, you will learn some important techniques on how to ace these interviews and get the job you want.
D4. Cyber Security and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) – Hun Kim & Kathleen Walters, IRS [Go To Top]
Everything relies on computers and the Internet now — communication (email, cellphones), entertainment (digital cable, mp3s), transportation (car engine systems, airplane navigation), shopping (online stores, credit cards), medicine (equipment, medical records), and the list goes on. How much of your personal information is stored either on your own computer or on someone else's system? You've heard the news stories about credit card numbers being stolen and email viruses spreading. Maybe you've even been a victim yourself. In this workshop you will learn about the best defense against identity theft, phishing, and vishing and related terms. You will learn about eGovernment and what actions the Federal Government is taking to help you understand the risks and what you can do to protect yourself against these cyber attacks at home and at work.
