Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the United States. Veterans, military spouses, and some other groups get hiring preference, and you must prove any eligibility you claim.
Experience: The announcement does not name a grade level for experience. It asks for experience using cleaning and sanitizing products, cleaning with and adjusting powered equipment, and following multi-step instructions; paid and unpaid experience both count.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this job.
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.
2 Resume and documents
Write a federal resume for this job. For each job you held, give the month and year you started and ended, your hours per week and what you did, using the words of the experience the announcement asks for. Many announcements accept resumes of up to 2 pages: check this one.
3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 17 days (November 20, 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: Your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers are reviewed to see if you meet the minimum qualifications, then compared to rate your level of experience. If you appear to have overstated your experience, you may lose consideration, and missing or incorrect items can make your application incomplete.
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:
- Attach a resume that clearly describes cleaning, powered equipment, and physical work, including any volunteer work.
- Upload proof for every preference you claim, such as a DD-214, because the application is incomplete without it.
- Submit the online application, the resume, and any documents by 11:59 PM EST on the closing date.
