DE-12345678-20-ABC) along with copies of all of the other documents you submitted. Because jobs open to the public are generally only posted publicly for a period of 5 days or less it may not be practical to complete the review prior to the announcement closing.

Which jobs should I apply for?
The short answer is, ones you are qualified for. According to the 2013 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics there are more than 2 million federal civilian workers employed in 350 different occupations. To determine which occupations, you should apply for requires an “honest assessment” of your knowledge, skills and abilities based primarily on the experience demonstrated in your resume and depending on the position, your educational background may also be used. A common mistake made by those seeking federal employment is they are applying for positions they want, but aren’t necessarily qualified for. The key is to match your proven demonstrated experience, knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies to the correct occupational series and grade levels. Unless you are familiar with the OPM’s Classification & Qualifications for General Schedule, Federal Wage System Qualifications and the Handbook of Occupational Groups and Families manual you may find this difficult.
If you would like us to perform an assessment of your experience, knowledge skills, abilities and competencies you will need to provide copies of the following documents;
