If you are an alumnus of Peace Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, or the Fulbright Program, your global and community service gives you a fast track into federal employment. Many of these programs grant non-competitive eligibility, or NCE, allowing us to hire you directly without navigating the lengthy traditional application process. Bring your resilience, adaptability, and mission-driven mindset to a career where you can continue to make a public impact on a national or global scale.
You must have U.S. citizenship, or be a U.S. non-citizen national (a resident of American Samoa or Swain Island) to apply for positions that are open to Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, and Fulbright Alumni.
You must have documentation of program completion in order to qualify for the special hiring authority.
Please read the entire job announcement for any additional requirements.
Include a valid NCE letter with your application. NCE may be extended up to three years after your close of service.
Also include an updated federal resume along with your application. Your resume should speak to the duties and specialized experience sections of the job announcement, and should not be longer than two pages.
Please review the entire job announcement for all required documentation as an announcement may have more documentation requirements than described here.
