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 each job's employer, start and end dates, hours per week, and for federal jobs the pay plan, series, and grade.
Email jory.r.eissinger.civ@us.navy.mil with the exact subject line 'HAZMAT SUPPLY TECH, GS-07 at SUBASE GROTON' or your resume will not be reviewed.
The job page lists security clearance as Not Required, but the text requires one, so ask the contact to confirm.
