Based on your application and your responses to the application
questionnaire, you may be presented with instructions on how to
access the USA Hire system to complete the online assessments. The
online assessments must be completed within 48 hours following the
close of this announcement. You will have the opportunity to

Your assessment results will be kept on record for one year and
used toward future positions for which you might apply that require
the same assessments.
Once the job opportunity announcement has closed, we will assess
your experience and training, identify the best qualified
applicants, and refer those applications to the hiring manager for
further consideration and interviews. You will be notified by email
after each of these steps has been completed. Stay informed of
changes to your application status by signing up for automatic
email alerts with your USAJOBS account. If you are referred, you
will receive a final notification of the disposition of the
announcement. We expect to make a tentative job offer within 60
days after the close of the announcement. If you are selected, we
may conduct a suitability/security background investigation.
If you receive a conditional offer of employment for this position,
you will be required to complete an Optional Form 306, Declaration
for Federal Employment, and to sign and certify the accuracy of all
information in your application, prior to entry on duty. False
statements on any part of the application may result in withdrawal
of offer of employment, dismissal after beginning work, fine, or
imprisonment.
Any offers of employment made pursuant to this announcement will be
consistent with all applicable authorities, including Presidential
Memoranda, Executive Orders, interpretive U.S. Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) and U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
