Step 2 - Review the Job Announcement

We suggest you go to the end of the Qualifications & Evaluation section of the job announcement to preview the online questions that you will answer in Step 4. You may need to customize your USAJOBS resume to ensure that it supports your responses to these questions.

Step 4 - Answer the Online Questions and Submit Your Online Application

If this is your first time on Treasury's CareerConnector website, you will be prompted to register by answering questions related to your eligibility for Federal employment. The system will save these responses and take you back to the main screen so that you can answer the job-specific questions. Select "Take me to the assessment" and click on the "Continue" button to answer the job-specific questions. You must answer all the questions and click the "Finished" button.

Step 5 - Review and Confirm Your Submission
