Closes in 6 days (November 9, 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 first answer a screen-out question, usually question 1 of the online questionnaire, to confirm you meet the minimum requirements. Those who qualify are then rated on the Lead or Supervise element. Applicants who do not meet the minimum are removed, and the agency will not assume experience that is not clearly written.
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:
- Describe any time you led, supervised, or trained others in detail, because that skill is rated.
- Make sure your resume shows dates and hours per week for each job and stays within two pages.
- Submit all required documents with your application before the closing date, since applicants are ineligible if documents are missing.
