In some cases applying for a federal job may be as simple as making a telephone call. Hundreds of professional nurse and border patrol agent positions have been filled this way. Although OPM's telephone application processing system is currently limited to a few occupations, this system will be expanded to include a greater number of jobs in the future. Currently, the jobs listed on HRS are part and full-time Federal vacancy announcement listings and the majority are in the Federal sector. The job openings come from all over the country and represent all types of Federal work, from professional and technical to blue collar, from management to clerical and sales.
HRS collects vacancy announcements from a variety of sources and are adding new sources daily.
Excepted Service Agencies have their own links to search for their vacancy announcements. The large majority of the announcements you receive will contain the complete agency vacancy announcement as published on the web. However, some agencies only provide summary information. We will email this information to you. Frequently, there is information in the summary to help you determine if you are interested in applying for the position.
