How to save a job announcement
You need to have a USAJOBS profile and be signed in to save a job. You can save up to 25 job announcements.
To save a job:
- Sign into USAJOBS.
- Search for a job by typing a keyword or location into the search box or run a saved search if you have one.
- Review the job search results.
- Click Save Job or the star icon next to the job title for each job you want to save. The link will change to Saved and the star will be filled in. This means the job is saved.
- Review your saved jobs in the Saved Jobs section of your profile.
You can also save a job when you're viewing a job announcement -- look under the Apply button for the same yellow star and click Save.

What if I don't see a saved job?
There are a few reasons why you may not see a saved job:
- The agency may have closed the job announcement-an agency may choose to close a job before its posted closing date.
- The agency may have canceled the job announcement.
- You may have applied to the job. When you apply to a saved job it moves into your Active applications.
