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 (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Keep your resume to two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
List hours per week for each job and avoid acronyms, since the agency will not assume what your resume means.
Re-select any supporting documents in your USAJOBS account, because only your resume is included automatically.
