4 After you apply

In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.

For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.

If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Your resume must be two pages or fewer, or it will not be referred.
Apply online through the MCCS Careers website, since emailed or mailed resumes are not considered.
Expect a Secret clearance requirement and a Tier 3 background investigation before any offer.
