FEDERAL HIRING PROCESS

In the Federal hiring process, using the tools available on www.goDefense.com will be helpful in your pursuit of Federal employment. An additional site you will find valuable is the FedsHireVets which is the single authoritative site for up-to-date Federal employment information for Veterans, transitioning military Service Members, their families, and Federal hiring officials.

To compete effectively and efficiently for Federal jobs, it is important to understand how Federal jobs are filled. To learn about the Federal positions available in the Federal Government, U. S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) publishes qualification standards which describe the general and specialized work experience and education required for the various occupations in Federal Government and pay levels. Knowing this information enables you to tailor your experiences to the job.
