Question 3
Resume wise, please do not include filler material (e.g. describing a company's core capabilities/description). Please only include relevant info (e.g. what was done at the job/project). Is this reflected in the resume?
Question 4
Inaccurate responses to the skills above will result in your company being omitted from future DCED requisitions. The skills (and applicable experience) must also be explicitly referenced in the candidate resume. Have you confirmed that the responses to the skills above are accurate and reflect the actual experience the candidate possesses?
Question 5
If you elect to, please provide your candidate's e-mail address and phone number under Summary of Qualifications (seen in the Details tab). This should never be in the resume. Did you do that?
Question 6
Do you understand, and will abide by, the provision in your subcontract with OST that it is PROHIBITED for government equipment to be taken or used outside of the United States by your contractors?
