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 (Top Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Keep your resume to 2 pages in PDF, Times New Roman 12 point, with 1-inch margins, and do not use the USAJOBS resume builder
Show specific, quantified results for each of the five ECQs and two technical qualifications
Upload each document as its own separate PDF, since the announcement says not to combine documents
