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.

- Submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment, and check that you are not a former participant.
- Show your residency training dates and license details on your C.V. or resume, since these basic requirements are verified.
