Remedy is pretty old now and I think it’s been tossed in favor of servicenow. Maximo is more facilities oriented but still tracks it stuff like UPS, hvac, and stuff like that
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm already in after 5 years of trying. My wife just started at the beginning of the year and is already at that stage of thinking there's no point. I keep telling her to apply even if it seems useless.
Don’t forget about the rule of 3. Only the top 3 SELF RATED are actually referred. If you even want to get looked at your have to give yourself a perfect score
That’s what they tell me. Honestly I’m not a recruiter. I do know that I’m not going to bother applying if I don’t feel comfortable assessing myself as perfect.
I’d be lying if I told you I knew how the grade them entirely. All I can say is it isn’t unusual to get 30-70 resumes deemed qualified by HR. They have a numerical value up to 100 associated with them. I give all of the ones referred a cursory review, make a short list, then deeper dive into short list. Setup interviews for top 3-6 and then make selection based off that. I’ve never had to explain why I didn’t choose one of the people HR rated as 100. As long as I have notes from our interview panels and can explain why we thought someone was better than the competition, we’ve been good.

I think this ‘Rule of 3’ is just that hiring official’s way of explaining how he or she is interviewing the top candidates.
Find out how you can improve before you reapply, and do it.
I’ve been in the Fed application process multiple times successfully, and never heard of a rule of 3.
***For applicants, here are two tips: Improve your resume and reach out to your prospective agency. ***
Google your department name and resume tips. For example, the DOJ has this tip page:
https://www.justice.gov/careers/tips-creating-federal-resume
Also, check out Troutman’s book or it’s newer edition from your library:
https://www.amazon.com/Federal-Resume-Guidebook-6th-Successful/dp/0986142123
Finally, reach out to the office and agency POC on the announcement. Ask questions and get your name in their minds. So when they browse through a stack of resumes, yours sticks out. And you can mutually see if you’re a good fit before you day dream about a certain job or agency.
The self assessment is just part of the rating/ranking my guess is that a perfect assessment gets you to 70 then there are other ways that you get points to get up to 100. I’m not 100% but I think education, work history will add more points. And Veterans status will give you bonus points, which I think means that you can actually have over 100 points. I’ve been rejected more times than accepted. One rejection was for my own job that I was reapplying for. That’s when I learned You have to score yourself as perfect lol I’ve made top 3 a few times recently and interviewed. Nada. I think possibly not living close by reduced my score.
Congrats!
I have an EOD of Monday for the job I've had my eye on for years. And in the last two weeks I've received 5 referrals and two interview invitations. Go figure.
Congratulations.
Would like to piggy back on this - does this language mean referred? They change the lingo since I last applied:
"Eligible for the following position or positions ... You are tentatively eligible for this series/grade combination based on your self-rating of your qualifications. ... \*\*Please Note: All applicants who self-certified their eligibility were referred to a review panel for consideration. If you are selected for further consideration, you may be contacted for an interview.\*\*"
Eligible means you can be referred but doesn’t mean you were. Further down that same email (or sometimes in a separate email) it’ll say something along the lines of “you have (or have not) been referred the the hiring manager”
Wow. Congrats!
Congratulations. Which position?
2210-13
Awesome, l have a few apps for that series too. Did you have any certs on your resume?
Yeah I have ITIL, a bunch of CompTIA, VMware, RHEL, and Nutanix.
Thats a good stack of certs. Working on my first one now. Was ITIL difficult?
IMO it was easy, however I’ve been working in ITIL environments for a long time. I’ve also been force-fed ITIL training for the past 6 years.
Thank you. What kind of ITIL environments? Service Now?
An old version of remedy, remedy itsm, service now, and Maximo.
Haven't heard of the others, but looking into service now as l plan my career. Thank you for answering my questions.

How true is this?
That’s what they tell me. Honestly I’m not a recruiter. I do know that I’m not going to bother applying if I don’t feel comfortable assessing myself as perfect.
Hiring Official here and I will often get certs with 50+ applicants deemed eligible.
How else does one get points aside from self assessment?

One last question, is there a rule of 3?

It only says this: "You will receive a final notification on the status of your application when a selection is made."
That's great, congratulations
Congrats!!! Keep hope alive 😁. I'm speaking to myself lol
Heck yea keep trying. Took me 3 tries to get into my current position. “You can’t win if you don’t enter..”
Be prepared for even more waiting. I applied in November, got a TO in April, and I'm still waiting on a FO.
Congratulations and thanks for the encouragement!
