If it has been a while since you’ve looked for a new government job, it may be helpful to review the two basics before you get started.
1. Make sure your USAJOBS account is up-to-date.
Test your USAJOBS user name and password to make sure that they work. If you cannot remember your user name or password, recover/reset them before you start applying. You do not want to find yourself unable to get into your USAJOBS account at 11:58 PM on the night the job is closing! Contact the USAJOBS Help Desk for assistance.
