Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about federal government jobs
How do I apply for US federal government jobs?
All federal jobs are posted on USAJobs.gov. You'll need a federal resume (4-5 pages, much longer than a private-sector resume) and a USAJobs account. FreeJobAlert aggregates these listings and links you directly to the official application.
What is the GS pay scale?
The General Schedule (GS) is the federal pay system covering most white-collar positions. It has 15 grades (GS-1 through GS-15), each with 10 steps. Pay also varies by locality.
Can non-citizens apply for federal jobs?
Most federal jobs require US citizenship, though some agencies hire non-citizens for specialized roles when no qualified citizens are available.
How long does federal hiring take?
Federal hiring typically takes 3-6 months from application to start date, longer for positions requiring security clearance.
