We all want to stand out from the crowd – in a good way, of course. And when you’re vying for the next job opportunity, most of us don’t have every recruiter beating down the door with offers. So, how do you stand out to recruiters and get them to notice you after the initial conversations?
If you already have the qualifications and a recruiter has reached out, it’s now time to kick it up a notch. If you haven’t done your research yet, now is the time. Your qualifications might have gotten you your foot in the door, but if you want to stand out from the others, you need to do some research on the organization and the federal agencies they support. It’s not enough to just read the ‘About Us’ section of their website. Now is the time to show that you’ve gone the extra mile.
Reading through an annual report is a great way to pick up on the language of the company. You’ll notice keywords that stand out even. Then, check them out on social platforms, and see if you know anyone who works there. Make those connections where it makes sense, and get firsthand information about the company. The more you glean from your reading and conversations with others, the better your questions will be in an interview. And ultimately, when it comes time to pick a candidate, your resume will shine a little brighter.
Contract Opportunities to Watch: ECS
ECS has won a five-year $19M contract with the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). A leader in DoD identity management, the DMDC maintains DoD databases, supports the information requirements of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness, and oversees DoD personnel programs and research.
ECS will support the digital transformation of the DMDC by optimizing existing instances of ServiceNow ― the digital workflow management platform ― and ensuring the success of new implementations. By providing operations and maintenance services, architectural design, development, and implementation services, ECS will bring new capabilities to the DMDC and transform legacy IT applications.
ECS adds this DMDC project to a lengthy list of successful ServiceNow deployments it has undertaken for the DoD and federal civilian clients. These include: the Army, Air Force, Space Force, Defense Information Systems Agency, several DoD Fourth Estate agencies, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Treasury, U.S. Postal Service, and Environmental Protection Agency.
“ECS is excited to support the critical mission of the DMDC,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS. “We’ll use our ServiceNow expertise to help the agency reduce workflow complexity, boost productivity, and offer improved services to uniformed service members, veterans, and families around the world.”
“As a ServiceNow Elite partner, ECS leverages the full power of the platform to support the DMDC’s digital transformation,” said Martin Burke, vice president of Integrated Solutions at ECS. “ECS will help DMDC reengineer and modernize every one of its business and IT processes, using the powerful features and flexibility of the ServiceNow platform.”
