Students and recent graduates are key participants in the future federal workforce. To make a career in public service a reality, understanding the federal employment process is vital. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Center for Federal Executive Board (FEB) Operations present the Federal Executive Board Campus Series 2024. This four-session series is open to all students, recent graduates, and campus professionals (career services, faculty, department heads, etc.). The series explains the federal application and hiring process to help students and recent graduates find internships and full-time jobs working in their career field, and will help academic partners gain the information needed to help guide their students.
This overview covers key aspects of USAJOBS, the main online portal for federal employment. The session includes how to create and manage a USAJOBS account/profile and tips on searching for federal jobs, reviewing job announcements, applying for jobs, and following up.
