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 application is rated on how well you meet the qualifications, using OPM's General Schedule qualification standards. If you are interviewed, you will be asked about the same knowledge, skills, and abilities used to rate your application, and missing required information may lead to an ineligible or lower 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, a security clearance (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Keep your resume to two pages or less, with font at least 10 point, or it will not be considered.
List the supervisor's name and phone number and the hours per week for each job, since these are often left out.
Read the Administrative and Management Positions section of OPM's General Schedule qualification standards, which the announcement points to for experience levels.

Kandidatu is an independent website: only the official posting counts. Read it before you apply.
