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:

Keep your resume to 2 pages or fewer, since longer resumes will not be referred.
Apply only online through the MCCS Careers site, because emailed or mailed resumes are not considered.
If you have prior military service, upload your DD-214 Member 4 copy to your MCCS careers profile.
