A $50,000 Pay Raise...Before Getting Hired? (Without AI)

How would you like to get a $50,000 annual pay raise before you get hired in a Federal government job?

My client did!

Wait, what?

Is that even possible?

Yes! Keep reading. ??

?

Just a few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with my new client, Krista, about her career situation. She is a music education teacher in the public school system and came to me for help in landing a federal job. (Kudos to her for 25 years of service—what a blessing she has been to her students!)

During that conversation, I educated her about how important it was that she apply to only right-fit positions. She didn’t know what a ‘right fit’ job for her would be because she didn’t know how her background would transfer to Federal government. She was new to the federal job search and found it to be overwhelming.

In general, 'right fit' can mean a number of things including what YOU want or need in a job, e.g., happiness, salary, location (work in office or work from anywhere), agency, job title, benefits, culture, mission, impact, boss, co-workers, and type of work, to name a few.

?

Right fit also means that you have to be qualified to perform the duties of the job. I mean, you’re not going to apply for a Podiatrist position unless you are a Podiatrist, right? That one is pretty easy.

But sometimes it’s not that easy when you aren’t familiar with how to translate your background. Some people just wing it and apply anyway then assume HR will figure out where to fit you in.?(Don’t do this…they won’t call you to ask questions. Instead, you have to make it easy for them to see that you are highly qualified!)

So the natural thing to do is to try to incorporate common thinking advice, but let me be real—common thinking isn’t going to get you anywhere. That’s what everyone else does.

When you know better, you can do better, right? ??

COMMON THINKING

• Krista thought she had to start at the bottom and work her way up.
• She didn’t know what she would qualify for in the Federal government and didn’t know what would be the ‘right fit’ for her skills, education, and experience.
• She thought she wouldn’t qualify for anything higher than a GS-7 so she was applying to GS-5 and GS-7 positions.
• She didn’t know how her 25-year career as a public school music teacher would translate to Federal government careers.
• She didn’t know what the hiring managers were looking for.
• She didn't know why she wasn’t getting referred to the hiring manager for the opportunity to interview.
• She didn’t know how to create her resume so that it would stand out from others.
• She didn’t know there were USAJOBS strategies.
• She didn’t understand the hiring process and was frustrated.

All of these points are common thinking...she's one of thousands of my clients who have had this common thinking--and that's ok--but when you know better, you'll do better!

Do you relate to this common thinking?

Let's change that...to FORWARD THINKING!?

Check out the results of what happens when you know better and apply forward-thinking.

This is a screenshot of the email Krista received as the result of her FIRST application through USAJOBS.gov after joining our Six-Figure Federal Career Accelerator Program.

You read it right: “Eligible for the following position or positions: GS-0301-13!”

YES, a GS-13…NOT a GS 5.

That is a MINIMUM of a $50,000-$65,000 annual PAY RAISE before she’s even hired!

Most likely, it would have taken a minimum of SIX YEARS to reach the GS-13 level.

In those six years, she could have been making a minimum of $50,000-$65,000 more per year, not to mention step increases and other incentives. ?

$50,000 x 6 years = $300,000

$300,000 in what would have been lost income that now she is eligible to receive!

FORWARD-THINKING results in SUCCESS!

Krista's current scenario now after joining our Six-Figure Federal Career Accelerator program just a few weeks ago:

• First application “Referred” to the Hiring Manager!
• She knows exactly what she needs to do to speak to the Six Audiences? (aka get past the "gatekeepers") and get referred to the hiring manager...and now has a solid strategy for continued success.
• She's utilizing our Qual-Fit Tool? to ensure the right-fit positions BEFORE applying to the job, as well as our other successful tools.
• She's applying to quality (not quantity), right-fit federal jobs at the right GS level which will provide the income that matches her expertise, experience, and education.
• She's leveraging our strategies, including our Page 1 strategy, to speak to the Six Audiences? (gatekeepers) to get selected to interview!
• She is using a high-quality, highly strategic federal résumé that gives every gatekeeper exactly what they need to qualify her.
• She has the right USAJOBS strategies that the gatekeepers rave about!
• She has access to the all-inclusive, successful program that has helped thousands of our federal job seekers GET HIRED…and PROMOTED…fast!
• She is now in the RIGHT PLACE where she can ask questions, get the right answers, and expert support for help at every step of the federal job search.
• She’s on her way to STARTING her career in the Federal government in the RIGHT-FIT job making AT LEAST $50,000 more per year and we’re not even to the salary negotiation phase (which is also covered in our program)!
• She is educated and much more hopeful about the future!
