SES Service charges $225/ hour for an assessment. This includes a phone interview and document review. In the event the document review is more extensive, an additional hour may be required.

During the assessment or interview, I want you to tell me about yourself. Things to discuss:

1. Whether you you a private sector, non-profit or government employee.
2. What your current job and responsibilities.
3. If you are a federal government employee, what is your series, grade level and length of time in current position.
4. Are there any announcements you are interested in applying for.
5. Your resume.
6. Whether you have you started drafting your ECQ’s.
7. Specific questions you may have.

Keep in mind everyone is different and not all assessments are the same.

If you are a federal government employee, I expect you are at least a GS-15.

If you are military or retired military, I would like to see a rank of at least O-6 unless you have significant private sector experience equivalent to the GS-15 or above.

If you are private section. This is the tough one. I’ll want to know where you work, the size of your company in terms of employee’s and revenue, who you report to, what your title is, what your job responsibilities are and what your salary is. Only by getting this info, can I make a judgement whether you would qualify or not.

I will also tell you about myself and my background.
