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 two pages or less, since a longer resume makes you ineligible.
Describe your experience with generative AI tools, building simple AI workflows, and checking AI output, as the announcement asks.
Give the month, day, and year for every job start and end date to receive full consideration.
