Once  a candidate locates a posted position for which they would like to apply, select the "Apply" button on the posting. For each position posted, there will be a section entired "Job Specific Questions." 

The application questions are a required part the of the application and are specific to the position.  The application questions are designed to help CMS and the Hiring Agency evaluate all candidates.  Ensure that you answer all of the questions, even if the information is already provided in your resume and/or Candidate Profile.

Applicants should answer all questions on the application.  Application questions are designed to both assess whether applicants meet the minimum qualifications of the position and whether and to what degree applicants meet any preferred qualifications.

For most application questions, the application question includes both a yes/no response and an accompanying text box in which the applicant provides additional information supporting the yes/no response.  For example:

Help us help you in assessing your application by providing both where and when you received the applicable experience.  This will make it easier for those assessing your qualifications to validate your experience to include you in the interview pool.

Applicants should save their application as questions are completed, to ensure responses are not lost.  Then, fully review your Candidate Profile, if you have not already, and responses to application questions to ensure that everything is complete.  The application also allows you to upload relevant documents.  Consider uploading copies of education materials/transcripts, licenses, certifications, training materials, previously issued grade for the classification to which you are applying, and anything else you would like considered as part of the application assessment process.  Note: these items can also be uploaded to your Candidate Profile, so you do not have to upload each time you apply.  Finally, click the “Apply” button on the bottom right. 

Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive an email acknowledging receipt of the application.
