3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 12 days (November 15, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
The job closes once the agency receives 100 applications, which may happen before the closing date.
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: Applications are first checked for basic eligibility and whether your experience meets the basic qualifications. Qualified applicants go to the selecting official, and the agency may interview applicants using Behavior Based Interviewing. You are removed if you miss the screen-out driver's license requirement, if your resume is over two pages, or if your package is 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, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Keep your resume to two pages or less, or you will be removed from consideration.
- Include your work schedule, hours per week, dates of employment, and duties on your resume.
- Confirm you hold a valid state and government driver's license, since it is a screen-out requirement.
