    Federal Employment for Students

    How Federal Jobs are Filled

    Most Federal agencies fill their jobs by advertising all openings on the USA Jobs website.

    The Web site lists over 16,000 jobs daily which will allow you to apply directly to the agency. Today very few positions require a written test. Applications can be submitted in a variety of formats: on line, paper form, or the OF-612 form. All information on federal jobs is free to the applicant(s). While the process is now very similar to that in private industry, there are still significant differences due to the many laws, executive orders, and regulations that govern federal employment.

    Internships, Work Study, Scholarships & Summer Job Opportunities

    Students may check the Federal Government Jobs website as a resource for many federal internships, work study programs, scholarships, and summer job opportunities which may lead to job offers after college graduation. There are federal agencies located all over the entire country as well as overseas — this is ideally for seniors as they make plans for the future.
