If this is your first time applying for a federal job, then you will need to create a USAJOBS® account. Otherwise, follow the steps below.
1. If you possess multiple documents of the same type (e.g., multiple transcripts, DD 214s, SF 50s, or certifications), then you will need to combine them into one file not exceeding 3 MB in size and upload the newly created file into your USAJOBS® account.
2. Click the Apply button. If you are not already logged into USAJOBS®, you will be prompted to do so.
3. Select the resume and documents from your USAJOBS® account that you wish to transmit. You will need to manually associate any documents that are not automatically linked within our application system (see Step 6 below). Please limit your résumé to 5 pages. If more than 5 pages are submitted, only the first 5 pages will be reviewed to determine your eligibility/qualifications.
4. If this is your first time applying for a job with the FLETC, then you will be automatically forwarded to the account creation process before being taken to the job application. Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the creation of your FLETC account. If this is not your first time applying for a job with the FLETC, then you will skip this step.
5. Answer all of the assessment questions, ensuring that your responses are supported by your resume and documents. The application and assessments may take several hours to complete. Be sure to allow sufficient time to complete all assessments. PLEASE NOTE: Scores obtained after completing the Performance Assessment Network System (PANS) are valid for 6 months. You will not be prompted to complete the PANS assessment if you have previously completed it within the last 6 months.

In these cases, the system will display any unlinked documents on the left side of the page with an action control to manually attached the document. Click on the action button and follow the on-screen prompts to ensure your unlinked documents are attached.
7. After reviewing your submission in the final step, click “Submit Application” located at the bottom of the page. If you leave the application before clicking “Submit Application,” your application will not be transmitted to our servers. Upon clicking “Submit Application”, you will be greeted with, “Thank You!
