Navigate the USAJobs.gov Application Process

Federal job applications often require a different approach than private-sector applications. This online workshop from Still Serving Veterans will help veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses better understand how to use USAJobs.gov and prepare more effective applications.

During this one-hour session, Career and Transition Counselors will share guidance on building your USAJobs profile, adapting your resume for federal applications, and understanding how the application review process works. Still Serving Veterans’ counselors have received training from the Office of Personnel Management, which operates the USAJobs website.

Topics Covered

This workshop will review important parts of the federal job search process, including:

• Using the USAJobs.gov platform
• Understanding federal career pathways
• Tailoring your resume for USAJobs
• Knowing when to submit applications
• Reviewing eligibility requirements
• Avoiding common issues that can keep applications from moving forward

The session will begin with a focused discussion on the USAJobs application process. After that, participants will have time to ask questions, talk through job search challenges, and connect with other veterans and military-affiliated job seekers. Q&A may continue beyond the scheduled hour when needed.

What to Expect

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

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

Participants are encouraged to bring a job description for the type of federal position they are pursuing. This helps the Still Serving Veterans team offer more specific guidance based on the role.
