All federal job applications go through USAJobs.gov. Create an account, complete your standardized profile (this is your "federal résumé" and runs 3–5 pages), and apply directly to listings. The federal résumé format is verbose by private-sector standards — include exact dates, hours per week, and full responsibilities. Don't shorten.
3–6 months from application to start date is typical for non-cleared remote positions. The cycle is: apply (week 0), referral list (week 4–6), structured interview (week 8–10), tentative offer (week 12), background check / EOD setup (week 14–24).
