We will be utilizing USAJOBS, which is the Federal Government’s official job search website. Apply on-line at www.usajobs.gov ​ On this website, the first thing you will be required to do is to create a profile, with a username and password, where you will describe your work experience and your level of education within “Resume Builder”. When applying for a Federal job, you should be very detailed and precise in describing your work experience. Always remember, the personnel who will be qualifying your application cannot assume you have specific knowledge; you must say it in writing. You will also have the option of attaching additional separate resumes to your profile. This is a good idea since you will not be limited to 5,000 characters as you are in the USAJobs Resume Builder narrative blocks.
