It is easy to apply for jobs using Application Manager. Most people can probably do so without reading all the detailed information in this Online Help System. If you just want to get started, the information in this topic is for you.
Most jobs require you to answer questions and provide supporting documents, such as a résumé and transcripts. All such items that are required for you to be considered for the job are referred to as your Application Package. Your objective in Application Manager is to get your Application Package to Complete status.
Here are the steps along the path:
Log in to your Application Manager Account. If you don't have an account yet, create one.
Start your Application Package.
If you came from USAJOBS by clicking a link there, Application Manager knows which job you are applying for.
If you came to Application Manager by some other means, use the Start a New Application box on the Main page to tell Application Manager which job you wish to apply for.
