You for joining me today we're going to talk about executive order. One three four seven three get your notepads and pens ready. Because I have a lot of great information to pass on regarding this order by the way we're helping to get the word out about the order so feel free to hashtag zero. One three four seven three hashtag multiple unemployment hashtag. Most Oh underemployment with. Any of your favorite military spouse hashtags so that's me hi my name is Bobby Rossiter. I am a certified federal job search trainer career coach and resume writer. I actually serve as the program manager at the resume place managing all of these 10 steps certifications I've been a military spouse for the better part of ten years spending the last decade or so connecting service members with resources.
That they needed helping military spouses with finding jobs. Wherever they were. Whatever it was. That they needed to get to their next level that's kind of what I've been doing so. I served as a family readiness assistant and a family written. This officer. I was in Okinawa back in 2008 9ish starting then but yeah so. We pcs from there. I decided that I was going to apply for federal jobs well. I went through a slump. Nothing was happening so. I decided let's get networking and it was through networking that I met Kathryn Troutman and began working at the resume place after about a year or so into my time there Kathryn and I decided to do a case study to better understand. How military spouses could navigate into federal jobs and the results of that adventure have been captured in the book and curriculum for the stars are lined up. I do instruct for the stars curriculum. What I'm going to be talking about today will be different.
You could consider. It as a precursor to the Stars material so. That I told. You a little bit about me I'm hoping that you'll leave. Some comments telling us kind of you know. You are in your federal job search a little bit about you just. You know keep. It friendly so for those of you who are new to or only somewhat familiar with yo. One 3473 it is an executive order signed by President Bush back in 2008 so. This has been around for about the same amount of time. That I've been helping military families. It yeah so it's been around for a while. It is an additional non-competitive hiring tool which agencies may use to select qualified eligible individuals you'll often hear about competitive and non-competitive hiring competitive hiring refers to hiring that results from open competition through a structured process.
Whereas with non-competitive hiring that refers to hiring that results from a partial version of the application process and that's the big difference the full process. That everybody goes through versus the partial application process so the job announcements will specify. Whether a position is competitive or non-competitive under the who may apply section just as a side note agencies are not required to use the non-competitive hiring Authority and if they do use. It it doesn't. It doesn't take precedence over the use of other appointment mechanism so just a side note and also yo. One three four seven three only applies to some military spouses which we'll get into in just a moment so. This quote and I know.
You can read but I'm gonna read. It to you because. Because these are words straight from OPM the Office of Personnel Management the intended effect of this rule is to facilitate the entry of military spouses into the federal civil service as part of an effort to recruit and retain skilled and experienced members of the Armed Forces and to recognize and honor the service of members injured disabled or killed in connection with their service it's it's the order was designed to help military spouses to get into federal jobs it's not a handout but it is a way of the government extending a helping hand given. That as spouses. We move when our service members move it's it's nice to know that the government is trying to do.
Something to help. Us with maintaining careers. Now numerous reports have come out highlighting the extremely high rates of military spouses who are unemployed or underemployed hence our hashtags by the way the frequent moves. They add to this. One really looks into federal positions as a possible solution to these high rates. Because honestly. It is a very complex process but it is so so so worth. It so that's one of the reasons we're helping to get word out about this executive order so. That hopefully. More military spouses will start applying to federal jobs. Because it make sense so here are.
