2. Determine if you need any skills for the job. When you find a government job, you will notice the requirements each job has. Determine what you need (i.e. additional education, certification) in order to get that job. Do what you need to do before applying?
3. Check out USAJobs. Type in the keywords of the government job you want, including location you want to work in. Click on “Search Jobs” when done.
