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 (Sensitive Compartmented Information), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Your resume must show your specialized experience with month and year dates, duties, and accomplishments, and it must support your questionnaire answers.
Complete the USA Hire assessment within 48 hours after the closing date, because you will not be considered if you miss the cut score or do not finish it.
Do not repeat the specialized experience statement in your resume, or you may be ruled ineligible.
