⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't apply without tailoring your resume to government contracting – generic PM experience won't stand out.
  • Avoid mentioning only commercial program management; emphasize your federal experience and understanding of FAR/DFARS.
  • Don't overlook the importance of NWP knowledge – even if you're not a meteorologist, show you've studied the basics.
