How to set your search preferences in your profile
If you have a USAJOBS profile, you can set search preferences such as:
- How much you’re willing to travel for work.
- If you’re willing to move for a job.
- If you are open to jobs that offer help to move to a new location (relocation assistance).
- Hybrid (telework) or remote options.
- Where you'd like to work.
- What appointment types you are open to.
- What schedule you want to work (full-time, part-time, etc.).
- What jobs you can apply to (hiring paths).
We can use your preferences to:
- Improve your job search results. When you're signed in, and start a job search, we'll look for jobs that match your preferences, such as your desired work location, schedule, travel, and more.
- Help agencies match your work preferences with the job opportunities they're looking to fill--we only use this if you've made your resume searchable.
You can update your search preferences at any time in your profile.
To use your preferences during a job search
- Sign into your USAJOBS profile and set your preferences in the Search preferences tab.
- Start a job search. We'll automatically use your preferences and other information from your profile to filter your results.
- On your search results, you can remove individual filters from your results or remove all search preferences from your results.
