The President’s Memorandum includes requirements for Federal agencies to
provide:
1.
A user-friendly application process that is not unduly
burdensome or time consuming.
2.
Clear, understandable job announcements and instructions for
applying.
3.
Timely and informed responses to questions about the
requirements and the process.
4.
Prompt acknowledgement that their application has been
received.
5.
Regular updates on the status of their applications as
significant decisions are reached.
6.
A timely decision-making process.
In addition, the memo allows for resume sharing so resumes of quality
candidates can be shared between and among agencies and departments.
These applicants could then be invited to apply for other suitable
Federal jobs.
This
means more opportunities and a streamlined hiring process for job
seekers (and their resume writers)!

must submit:
1. Sample federal resume;
2.
KSAs (at least three).
Update requirements and active
membership are a prerequisite of retaining the CFRW credential. CDI reserves the right to revoke this credential if these requirements
are not met and maintained.
Why is
renewal necessary? Because the federal government changes
aspects of federal resume writing and it is critical to stay abreast of
those changing requirements.
