Please note: federal hiring guidelines require that for each job on an applicant’s resume, they must list the hours per week worked at that job. Since most people do not have this information on their resume, many candidates get automatically rejected by the system. We recommend using the USAJOBS template to upload work history, instead of uploading a PDF resume.
