Applications received after 11/12/2026 at 11:59 p.m. EST will be considered only as needed, so applying early is better.

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 answers to the application questionnaire are checked first, then HR reviews your resume and experience against the requirements. Incomplete applications, including missing questionnaire answers, may be rated ineligible, and overstated qualifications may hurt your consideration.

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:

Keep your resume to two pages or less and show dates and hours per week for each job.
Answer every questionnaire item, because missing answers can make you ineligible.
List professional references with name, email, and phone number on your resume to help speed up hiring.
