3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 57 days (December 30, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
Applications received by 11/12/2026 are considered in the first round, and later applications are considered only as needed.
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: An online questionnaire is checked first to see if you meet basic qualifications, then HR reviews your resume and documents. If you are tentatively qualified, HR checks that your questionnaire answers match your resume, and overstated experience can hurt your consideration. Incomplete applications, including skipped questionnaire items, may be rated ineligible.
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:
- Answer every questionnaire item, because missing answers can make you ineligible.
- Make sure your resume matches your questionnaire answers, since HR compares them.
- Submit electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET on 12/30/2026, and apply by 11/12/2026 for first-round consideration.
