Important Information: 

Applications and supplemental questionnaires (if required) must be submitted online and are not accepted in-person, by email, or fax.  All application materials received are reviewed, and applicants are screened based on relevant qualifications to include, but not limited to education, experience, and training.  It is important that your application contains updated and relevant information.  Work history must be of at least ten years (provided you have been employed for same or longer period), with your most recent experience listed first, and reflect accurate and verifiable periods of employment.   

Failure to submit a complete application or provide the required documents disqualifies you from the selection process.  Your resume may be attached to your application but will not be considered in lieu of a fully completed online application. References must not include relatives.  If you have limited work experience, list professors or school counselors instead.  Applications and supplemental questionnaires (if required) are not accepted in-person, by e-mail or fax.

You will receive all information and instructions via email as to the next step(s) in the examination process.  Please check your junk, bulk and/spam folder/mail.  Also add GovernmentJobs.com to your trusted sender list.  In addition, you can always check the status of your application by logging into your account on www.governmentjobs.com and click on "Application Status".
