Applying to the Federal Government is more complicated than simply sending in a resume. It requires your resume to be translated onto a standard job application. USAJobs Profile
A profile is not required to search for opportunities on USAJobs. You need a profile if you want to apply to jobs and store your resume and documents for future applications. You can set your profile to “searchable,” but y
ou still have to apply to all positions you are interested in. If they do, they rely on key words listed on your profile and resume. This is an added benefit of maintaining an active profile at USAJobs. Once you’ve created your profile, you must add a phone number, email, or federal government I.D. card to provide an additional security layer.
