These are instructions for applying on www.usajobs.gov for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Financial Internship positions. In order for your application to be considered and for you to be potentially rated in the Best Qualified category (which will allow us to select you for an on-site interview) we will need you to:

1. Create an account on USAJobs.gov; (as soon as possible!) 2. Upload your pertinent documents (i.e., resume, transcripts, and other documents as

applicable); 3. Search for announcements using the zip code of 03801 (or 03904). We will have an

announcement for Financial Technicians, and 4. Apply for position.

In order to help make this process as simple as possible, included is a “4-Step USAJobs Application Guide” to help you create your account, upload your documents, and apply for our job announcement. It is imperative that you follow these steps so that your application can be submitted and considered. Postings for jobs tend to be short (3 days to one week). If you have problems with the website during the application process, there may not be time to solve your problem before the posting is closed. IF YOU MISS THIS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONSIDER YOU FOR A JOB OFFER. Prior to the announcement of our job, you should go to www.usajobs.gov , create your account, upload your personal documents, and explore the website ahead of time. Resumes for USAJOBS do not have to meet the general business requirement of 1 or 2 pages. Take this opportunity to explain how your particular experiences will make you a great employee. It is very important that when you are completing your application on USAJobs you ensure that you are indeed applying for our specific job announcement. As part of the application process, you may be required to complete and submit an ‘Assessment Questionnaire.’ This questionnaire enables us to evaluate your educational and experiential background so that we can determine and evaluate your qualifications, and ensure you rate in the highest category possible. When completing the Assessment Questionnaire, be sure to read each question carefully and consider all of the available answers before making your choice. When answering the questions related to your knowledge of Accounting/Business Principles, Concepts, and Theories, don’t overlook your experiences in high school, college (i.e., projects, lab teams/work, teaching assistant, etc.), volunteer activities or jobs you have held as you answer the questions. In some cases how you answer the Assessment Questionnaire is going to determine our ability to select you from the list of qualified candidates. For purposes of answering the assessment questions you can think of work experience and education as pretty near synonymous. At the end of the USAJobs application process you should receive a confirmation e-mail showing your application has been submitted to our job announcement. If you don’t receive confirmation for any reason, please contact Ann-Marie Wilkins (207)438-2622. If at any point along the way of creating your account, uploading your documents, and applying for our job announcement, you have any questions or encounter any difficulty in completing your application, contact Ann-Marie Wilkins.  Please send an email to JoAnn.Stevens@Navy.Mil to let us know that you have completed your application.
