Hi there! Currently applying for a Program Specialist role at the Human Capital Management Office at the CDC. I’m wondering if anyone here could provide a referral, or any advice? It’s greatly appreciated!

Referrals aren't a thing for federal jobs.

Make sure your resume is crystal clear in how it reflects the requirements listed in the USAJobs posting.

Good luck!

That's interesting, since referrals are not a standard part of the hiring process at any federal agency.

Under various direct hiring authorities, hiring managers have some flexibility to hire outside of the normal channels and might be able to do named hires where referrals could come into play, but those situations are not at all the norm.

The standard process as followed in the overwhelming majority of federal hiring scenarios is that HR takes the first pass at all applications submitted and will pass on all the ones that meet the arbitrary cut to the hiring manager for review. Unlike in the private sector, there's no way for referrals to circumvent that initial HR review process to get your resume in front of the hiring manager in that standard hiring process.

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
