  Your user information will be electronically stored and the system will assign you an ID number. (Save this number and your password in a safe place! You may use either your ID number or your e-mail address and password to login to the system in the future.) You can change your personal or demographic information at any time by logging into the jobsite and selecting the appropriate option. However, any changes you make will not be reflected on applications for vacancies that have already closed.

• Registered Users

  If you are already registered and your personal and résumé information is up-to-date, select the "Registered Users" section on the login page and enter your user ID (or e-mail address) and your password, select "Go to Jobs" and click on the "Next" button. If you need to change your personal or demographic information simply select the appropriate option. Remember that any changes you make will not be reflected on applications for vacancies that have already closed.

Applying for Jobs

If you are applying through USAJobs, please read the vacancy announcement carefully. At the upper right hand corner, click on the "related job link". If you have not registered in our Careers In Motion system, you will be instructed to register at that time. If you have already registered in the system, log in with your ID or email address and password. Once logged in, you will be directed to the questions for the vacancy you selected. Read and respond to the vacancy questions. In choosing your response to a question, make sure you select the option that best describes your education and/or experience.

Do not select an answer unless you fully meet all the criteria described for that response.

After you have answered all the questions, click on "Finished" to submit your completed application. You may log in as often as you like to work on your application, being sure to "save" each time to record your information.

Please note though, that your application must be complete on the closing date or it will not be considered. Once complete, you may log into the system and edit your responses at any time up until Midnight, Eastern Standard Time, of the closing date.

Your resume is critically important in the evaluation process. It should reflect a comprehensive view of your education and experience as related to the vacancy. The answers you select in your application will be reviewed against the education and experience shown on your résumé.

Your application is not complete until you see a screen that says "Your application has been successfully transmitted!"

Logging Out

The best way to "log out" of the jobsite is to simply close the window on your browser. This will prevent anyone else from using your account without your knowledge.
