Except for a few health care jobs, most positions require online applications. So, it’s important to fully complete the online application process to receive your email confirmation. If you need help or have questions, please call or email the person listed in the “Agency Contact Information” section near the bottom of the announcement.

Job application process
1. Find your fit at VA
You need a workplace where you feel like you belong. Before you apply, you should first learn about VA and our mission of service to our nation’s heroes. Then, ask yourself if this sounds like the place for you.
2. Search for a job
We post our open jobs, also called job opportunity announcements (JOAs), on USAJobs. This is the career site for the federal government.
3. Submit your application
Once you hit apply, USAJOBS will walk you through a 5-step process where you’ll attach a resume and any required documents. Without all required documents, your application could be deemed ineligible and rejected.
4. Ace your interview
Watch for a phone call inviting you for an interview! They are conducted by phone, video, or in-person, either one-on-one or with a panel, and there may be more than one round of interviews.
5. Get your offer
Congratulations! You applied, aced the interview, and got an offer!
Once you receive a tentative offer, you’ll need to complete a background investigation, other security checks, and new hire forms and documents. Then we’ll extend a final offer and set up a start date.
You’re on your way to a rewarding VA career!
