Students - If you are interested in Summer College Student Vacancies in the federal government, visit USAJOBS.gov. Federal offices are now required to have all students submit resumes via USAJOBS.gov to apply for posted vacancies. Students will need to check the Student Page of the website for the agency in which they desire an internship to get information on all student employment. Please keep in mind that there are positions for College Freshman Level and above.
Several of the Summer positions will most likely be advertised having multiple selections, i.e., 5 jobs from the same advertisement.
All position announcements will include the word "Student," so when searching for a job or checking off what jobs you want to be notified about, always include the word "Student" or "Student Opportunity".
Listed below is guidance for students to follow; it is extremely important to follow all steps listed.
- You must be an enrolled college student, a U.S. Citizen and have yet to finish your program of study to qualify for one of the posted positions.
- We highly recommend that all students go to USAJOBS.gov and complete a profile to apply for government jobs at the grade level and geographic location they are interested in. There is a very helpful link in USAJOBS called "Resource Center" that directs you to student job information and how to complete a profile.
- Make sure to complete the part of the profile where you check off that you wish to be notified when a position you have indicated interest in is posted. Check off "daily" for frequency of notification. You must be vigilant! When the jobs are posted, they open and close very quickly. This year, expect an announcement for jobs within the next week or so. Jobs are expected to close within 1 day; you must act quickly after it is posted.
- It is to your advantage to be prepared with the following so that you only have to add the electronic information requested when the jobs are posted and check USAJOBS EVERY DAY.
Prepare an ELECTRONIC COPY of the following:
- Verification of Indian Preference Form BIA-4432 for Employment in the BIA and IHS
- Your Most Current Transcripts (unofficial is acceptable; Official Transcript is requested if hired)
- Proof of Enrollment from the school you are currently attending
- Your Current Resume
When you see that the job you're interested in has been posted, immediately follow the instructions for applying and attach all the necessary documents.
We wish you the best in all your academic endeavors. |
