When applying for a vacancy, pay close attention to "How To Apply" instructions. You will submit your resume through usajobs, answer vacancy specific questions, and supply additional documents.

If you don’t follow application instructions TO THE LETTER, you will not make the candidate list. Application instructions vary by agency and by region of the country; each instruction can be different thus you must read the details in each announcement.

Step Two – Create a search agent to notify you when vacancies are announced

Go to: http://www.usajobs.opm.gov
Log into your account
My job search agent: You may create a search which automatically emails you with job vacancies when your search parameters are met. For example, you can ask the system to email all federal job openings in Illinois.
