They advertise an average of 14,000 federal job vacancies daily and assist agencies with their recruiting efforts. Each year approximately 200,000 people are hired by Uncle Sam. USAJobs offers basic and advanced job searches, an online federal resume builder, applicant online registration where you can check on the status of your applications, save searches, job vacancies, and resumes for future bids. There are also abundant resources available for your federal jobs search.  

Job seekers can search by job title, location, occupational series, agency or department, salary range, and pay grade. The advance search feature offers many options to filter your search. You can also register to use their online federal resume builder and you can limit your federal job search to jobs available for current federal employees only or to jobs that the general public can apply for.
