Who can apply: The public.
Open to the public, for U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Certain groups get preference, such as military spouses, veterans, and people in the transition hiring program, and you must send proof of any eligibility you claim.
Experience: No previous experience or training is required. You must be able to use, control, and clean common hand tools and simple power equipment, follow written or spoken instructions with several steps, and lift and carry up to 40 pounds frequently and up to 50 pounds occasionally.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this job, because the announcement does not allow education substitution.
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

Write a federal resume for this job. For each job you held, give the month and year you started and ended, your hours per week and what you did, using the words of the experience the announcement asks for. Many announcements accept resumes of up to 2 pages: check this one.
3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 3 days (November 6, 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: Your resume and supporting documents are checked against the job's qualifications. If you meet the minimum, your resume and documents are compared with your questionnaire answers to judge your experience, and you may lose consideration if your answers are inflated.
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, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Send proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214 for veterans, with your application, or it may be marked incomplete.
- Make sure your resume and questionnaire answers match, because the agency compares them.
- Submit everything by 11:59 PM EST on 11/06/2026, and have REAL ID or other approved ID ready.
