Learn About Federal Employment Opportunities
Opportunities for employment with the U.S. Government are available in all parts of the nation
as well as overseas. Here are some ways to find out about different types of federal job
listings.
-
Government jobs near you: Openings may be available at the installation from which
you are separating. You can find out about these from your local civilian personnel
office.

Opportunities overseas: To assist you in finding out about federal job
opportunities elsewhere in the world, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) maintains federal
job information/testing offices in each state. A listing of these offices is located on the
Transition Bulletin Board

Applying for Federal Jobs
You apply for most federal jobs by preparing and submitting the documents requested in the
federal job announcement. If you have any questions, contact the civilian personnel office
and/or the point of contact listed on the job announcement. If you believe our veterans’
preference rights have been violated when applying for federal jobs, contact the
U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans Employment and Training Service for assistance under the
Veterans’ Employment Opportunities Act of 1998.
