2010 Hiring Reforms have made applying for a federal job much easier. You will be able to apply to almost any federal job with just a resume, and an optional cover letter. Starting immediately, some agencies no longer require narrative responses, or KSAs, as a part of the initial application process. You may still be required to answer a self assessment multiple choice questionnaire, so please pay close attention to the information listed under "How to Apply" in each job opportunity announcement.

Effects of Sequestration on Govenrment Hiring Practices

On March 1st, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sequestered $85 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 spending as mandated by the Budget Control Act. This across - the - board cut will slow job creation within the federal government.
