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 (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Your resume must show your dates by month and year and your hours per week, and it must be 2 pages or less.
Address each of the five specialized experience areas clearly in your resume, using specific examples from Navy aviation or FMS work.
Send your application to the email in the How to Apply section, not by fax, since faxed applications will not be considered.
