Brown Bag Luncheon:
Practical Tips on Assembling Your SES Certification Package

September26, 2007

In the next few months a number of Candidate Development Programs (CDPs) will will open for qualified candidates. These competitive programs create the pool for SES positions. Do you aspire to a Senior Executive Service job? Then the time is now to learn what it takes to be in the SES and how to get there. Join EWG for its first Brown Bag lunch of the year featuring Carol Harvey, who recently retired from OPM where she administered the SES personnel system.
Carol will offer an insider’s view on the qualifications and process. Her session will help you better understand the SES selection process, and learn about the SES acronym soup: ECQ's, CDP's, and QRB's. She’ll offer concrete tips for writing effective ECQ write-ups based on her experience as OPM’s CDP and QRB administrator.
We are pleased to offer this program exclusively to EWG members and free of charge! If you wish, please bring a lunch; we’ll have sodas and cookies. There is limited room, so please register early. Not a member? Join [link to join page] and come for free!
