3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 13 days (November 16, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
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: HR first checks that you meet the minimum qualifications and submitted all documents. You then answer an online questionnaire about cash processing, communication, and computer operations, and the score is a preliminary measure. You are placed in Best Qualified, Highly Qualified, or Qualified. Missing or unclear documents, a resume over two pages, or overstated experience can result in an ineligible rating.
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.
Tips for this job:
- List the hours you worked per week for every job on your resume, or it may be marked incomplete.
- Keep your resume to two pages or less, because longer resumes are removed from consideration.
- Upload your transcripts if you use education, and remember official transcripts are needed before a job offer.
