What is SES
Résumé?
The Senior Executive Service, effective July, 1979, was formed to ensure executive management of the government of the U.S. is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the nation. To apply for an SES (Senior Executive Service) position, you are required to submit a federal SES résumé. Note: The SES résumé is significantly different from résumés written for most GS positions. The résumé writer must include:
personal information (full name, address, home phone, cell and work phone numbers, e-mail address, Social Security number, proof of citizenship).
veterans preference, if any, highest federal civilian grade held, and a professional summary.
employment experience, including job titles (with series & grade if federal jobs, or level in military if a veteran)employer's name and address, supervisor's name and phone number, beginning and ending dates of employment (month and year) hours per week, salary amount as well as duties and accomplishments
education, including the names and addresses of all colleges and/or universities, major area of study, plus the type and year of any degrees you received, GPA, total credits and types of credits earned, course list, the high school name and address, along diploma or GED date. Be sure to order your college transcripts for this information.
job-related training courses and licenses, secret or top secret clearances, job-related skills (language, computers, tools, and
machinery )
job-related honors, awards, and accomplishments, as well as any memberships--professional or honors
all leadership activities and public speaking,
The SES resume must also be written so that your value as an executive is expressed. The law requires that the executive qualifications of each new appointee to the Senior Executive Service (SES) be certified by an independent Qualifications Review Board based on criteria established by the Office of Personnel Management.
At the core of the SES résumé, the evaluation and the final determinations are the ECQ's (The Executive Core Qualifications). (See V2W ECQ section).
