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

Tips for this job:

Apply online only; applications sent in person or by email are not accepted.
Foreign transcripts must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency by a private credentialing agency, at your own cost.
If you need base access without a REAL ID, check the Navy's list of acceptable identity documents before your start date.
