You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: Your application is checked against the job qualifications and your answers to an online questionnaire. If you are tentatively qualified, the agency checks that your questionnaire answers match your resume and documents. Overstated experience can hurt your chances, and incomplete applications, including unanswered questionnaire items, can be rated ineligible.

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.
