I recently learned that a job was advertised and has now closed for which I would like to apply. Are there any extenuating circumstances to grant extensions?

Answer

No. All applications and supplemental information must be received by midnight Eastern Time (ET) on the closing date of the vacancy announcement. If a situation occurs for which you believe an extension is warranted, please contact the servicing HR Specialist who may, on a case-by-case basis, grant an exception.
