The FedForms website was created to help people find specific forms that they may need for particular Federal programs. Your inquiry seeks information about finding employment. The Federal Government has several websites that are sources of information about available jobs.

You can search through listings of jobs of various kinds on the America's Job Bank website at: http://www.ajb.dni.us/

For employment vacancies with Federal agencies, usually limited to U.S. citizens, look at USAJOBS, located at: http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/

You can search on the USAJOBS website for particular types of work and geographical areas that may interest you. Individual vacancy announcements indicate how to apply for the job.

8.) Where can I find the Federal Government's standard and optional forms?

Search GSA (GS), Standard (SF) and Optional (OF) Forms, the General Services Administration's library for GSA internal forms and governmentwide Standard and Optional Forms. Visit the Agency Forms page to find GSA's library of forms.

9.) I am having trouble locating a form on FedForms. Do you have any search tips?

We are aware that the search engine we are currently using has very limited capabilities and we are currently working to improve the site's search capabilities. Meanwhile, here are some suggestions for finding forms that you may need.

If you know the agency that is using the form, on the FedForms page click on "Agency Forms Links" and scroll down to that agency.

If you do not know which agency is responsible for the form and the FedForms search tool doesn't find the form, try searching on the FirstGov site at: http://www.firstgov.gov/.

In the FirstGov site, it is usually better to click on "Advanced Search" before entering your search terms.

Also search the General Services Administration's library for GSA internal forms and governmentwide Standard and Optional Forms. You may also visit the Agency Forms Links page to find GSA's library of forms.
