How do I apply for government jobs?

Most federal jobs are posted on USAJobs.gov, but many government positions also appear on major job boards. TryApplyNow aggregates government jobs from multiple sources so you can find them in one place. Upload your resume to get AI match scores for each position.

What qualifications do I need for government jobs?

Requirements vary widely. Entry-level positions may need only a high school diploma, while specialized roles require degrees, certifications, or security clearances. Federal jobs use the GS (General Schedule) pay scale, with GS-5 to GS-7 being entry-level and GS-12+ being mid-to-senior.

Do government jobs require security clearance?

Not all government jobs require clearance. Many civilian positions in administration, healthcare, IT support, and education don't need one. Defense, intelligence, and certain IT roles typically require Secret or Top Secret clearance, which the employer sponsors.

What is the GS pay scale for government jobs?

The General Schedule (GS) ranges from GS-1 to GS-15, with 10 steps within each grade. GS-5 starts around $35k, GS-9 around $50k, GS-12 around $70k, and GS-15 around $110k. Locality pay adjustments can add 15-40% depending on your area.
