Navigate the USAJobs.gov Application Process

Applying for federal jobs can feel complicated, even when you are qualified and following the instructions carefully. This one-hour online workshop from Still Serving Veterans will help participants better understand USAJobs.gov and prepare stronger federal job applications.

The session will focus on practical ways to improve your USAJobs profile, tailor your resume, and approach the application process with a clearer strategy. Still Serving Veterans’ Career and Transition Counselors have received training from the Office of Personnel Management, the agency that operates the USAJobs website.

Workshop Topics

This session will cover key parts of the federal job search process, including:

• Navigating the USAJobs.gov website
• Understanding federal career pathways
• Preparing a resume for USAJobs applications
• Knowing when to apply
• Understanding eligibility requirements
• Improving your approach to federal job applications

The workshop will begin with a guided discussion, followed by time for questions, troubleshooting, and conversation with other veterans and military-affiliated job seekers. The Q&A portion may continue beyond the scheduled hour when additional support is needed.

What to Expect

This online workshop is offered at no cost to veterans and military spouses.

It is open to active duty service members, members of the Reserves and National Guard, veterans, and military spouses.

If you have a job description for a federal position you are interested in, bring it to the session. The Still Serving Veterans team can use it to provide more specific guidance related to your target role.
