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:

Your resume must show hours per week and month-and-year dates for each job, or you may lose consideration.
If you apply for EDRP, submit that application within four months of appointment.
Current federal employees must upload a 2026-dated SF-50, since older ones will be found ineligible.
