This change will benefit you in your job search by offering:
- A consolidated jobs database that utilizes one login to apply for vacancies throughout the USGS and other Federal organizations;
- An improved resume builder that will allow you to store up to five different resumes online;
- Search agents that will match your skills and/or interests;
- The option to receive email notifications of vacancy announcements throughout the government that meet your search criteria and;
- An Application Status Tracking feature, which will allow you to track the status of vacancies you have applied for through USAJOBS.
You are encouraged to register by creating a new account on USAJOBS (http://www.usajobs.gov/). If you are already an existing registered user you do not need to create a new account in USAJOBS.
