Staple all supplemental pages to your application form. Keep a copy of your complete application packet. You may be asked to bring it to interviews, or you may want to use it as a basis for preparing future applications. Submit your application to the agency listed in the To Apply section of the announcement. That agency must receive applications by 5 p.m. on the closing date.
Fax machines tend to be continuously busy in late afternoon.
You may miss the 5 p.m. cutoff if you wait until the last minute to fax your application. See the Instructions sheet within the application form for more details. Many announcements include test questions. They do not evaluate or consider your application. Each question is graded separately.
