Tips
- Read through the job description carefully. Government hiring managers have to follow strict rules. They often can't consider candidates who don't meet the minimum requirements listed in the job description. Double-check these requirements before applying to make sure you qualify.
- Pay attention to residency requirements, especially for hybrid roles. Different agencies have different expectations about in-office schedules. Some remote jobs may still require residence within a specific state, for example.
- Closing dates are firm deadlines. When you see ’Open Until Filled’ apply today! These positions can close as soon as they find the right candidate.
- See a job that’s open until filled, but the application link says it’s closed? Email support@workforamerica.org to let us know, and we’ll look into it.
