How to Apply for Federal Jobs

Resource offered through our Career Readiness Open Lab.

Federal jobs are often stable, satisfying places of employment; however, the application process for a federal job is very different than a private industry job. Construct a federal resume and apply for federal jobs by learning how to build a resume and submit applications using federal websites. Basic Microsoft Word and Internet search knowledge are required.
