Creating a thorough application in USA Jobs is time-consuming. Do not wait until the last minute to begin the process. Ensure IQCS Master Record or other documentation of fire qualification is attached. Applicants need to attach any other required supporting documents (DD-214 to claim Veterans Preference, High School Diploma/GED and/or College Transcripts, etc.) for each job applied to – they are not automatically added to your application from your profile. If combining education and experience, applicants must attach transcripts to receive credit. All required documentation must be attached at the time of application; we will not be able to accept documents after a certificate has been issued. You can look on USA Jobs to make sure that your Resume is formatted correctly for the Federal Sector. While the private sector may encourage people to limit the length of their Resumes in the Federal Sector you need to provide as much detail and specifics as possible related to the position that you are applying for and any and all experience or education that relates to that position. We encourage you to read the entire application carefully and review it a few times before submitting your final application.
