Forms

Although the BPA does not require a standard application form, we do need certain information to evaluate your qualifications and determine if you meet legal requirements for Federal employment. If your resume or application does not provide all the information requested in the job vacancy announcement, you may lose consideration for a job. Each announcement provides specific application instructions, required application information, and any additional application forms required for that particular vacancy.

Coding:

We have coded each type of electronic form with a different icon so that once you identify the format that you prefer, you can easily find other forms using the same format.

The codes are:
