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

Tips for this job:

Attach college transcripts that show your name, school, degree, date, and major, or the job may not be reviewed.
Keep your resume to two pages and show dates and hours for your customer service or recreation work.
Start the E-Verify and background check steps early, since any discrepancies must be fixed before you are hired.
