1. Click Apply Online to create a USAJOBS account or log in to your existing account. Follow the prompts to complete the initial online questionnaire and upload your resume/supporting documents. To fax supporting documents you are unable to upload, complete this cover page http://staffing.opm.gov/pdf/usascover.pdf using the Vacancy ID 1937822. Fax your documents to 1-478-757-3144.

documentation is submitted prior to the closing date.

3. Check the application status by logging into your USAJOBS account, https://my.usajobs.gov/Account/Login, by clicking

Application Status and More Information link for this position. The Details page will display the status of your application. It

is the applicant's responsibility to verify that information entered, uploaded, or faxed is received, legible and accurate. Your

uploaded documents may take several hours to clear the virus scan process.

4. To return to an incomplete application, log into your USAJOBS account and click Update Application in the vacancy

announcement. You must re-select your resume/supporting documents.



Once your application is received, you will receive an acknowledgement email. When you receive a notification from your

USAJOBS account it may indicate that your application is complete after you submit the initial online questionnaire and

documentation; however, your application will NOT be complete until you have successfully completed the next step

described below.



1. If you meet minimum qualifications based on your initial online questionnaire, you will receive an email from

assessments@USAHire.opm.gov with a link to the Competency Based Assessments. If not, the email may appear in a

"Spam" or "Junk" folder. If you have not received this link within 24 hours before the closing date and you meet the

minimum qualifications, you should contact HelpDesk@USAHire.opm.gov. If you accidently deleted the invitation to the

USA Hire Competency Based Assessments or otherwise need the information re-sent (e.g., you feel you have not received it

due to a SPAM filter), you should contact HelpDesk@USAHire.opm.gov to request the invitation to be re-sent. Requests to

re-send invitations to the USA Hire Competency Assessments must be received by HelpDesk@USAHire.opm.gov BEFORE the close of the JOA.

2. Before taking these assessments, you should visit https://usahire.opm.gov/assess/default/sample/Sample.action to

determine whether your computer is likely to experience issues during testing. If you require technical assistance, please

contact HelpDesk@USAHire.opm.gov.

3. You should plan 3 hours to complete these assessments; however, most applicants complete the assessments in less

time. The assessments must be completed within 48 hours after the close of this Job Opportunity Announcement. You may

not re-take the assessments for one year. Your results will be kept on record and used for future jobs requiring these

assessments.

If you believe you have a disability (i.e., physical or mental), covered by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended and

Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 as amended, that would interfere with completing the USA Hire Competency

Assessment, click here for more information: https://www.usajobs.gov/content/pdfs/AssessReasonableAccommodation.pdf. Requests for accommodation must be received before the announcement closing date. Decisions on requests will be made

on a case-by-case basis. After notification of the adjudication of your request, you will receive an email and will have at least

48 hours to complete the assessments. If the email invitation is sent prior to the close of the Job Opportunity

Announcement to which you applied, you must complete all of the assessments within 48 hours of the closing of the Job

Opportunity Announcement. If the email invitation is sent after the close or less than 48 hours prior to the close of the Job

Opportunity Announcement to which you applied, you must complete all of the assessments within 48 hours from the time

the email is sent.
