3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closed (October 30, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: You will be rated on how well your application and resume meet the listed qualifications. The best qualified applicant is chosen by the selecting official. Missing required information may make you ineligible or lower your rating.
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, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Upload your college transcripts to your profile if you use education to qualify, or your application will not be considered.
- Upload your professional license copy, since the announcement requires a photocopy with your application.
- Apply online only through the MCCS Careers website by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the closing date, because emailed or mailed resumes are not considered.
