Doors to Employment: Step-by-Step Job Application

How to Submit Supplemental Documentation

If supplemental documents (e.g., veteran's documentation, transcript, etc.) are required to complete your application, they will be identified in the vacancy announcement 'How to Apply' tab in the "Required Documents" section. If you are required to fax the documentation, it must be received by the vacancy close date.

To generate fax coversheets after submitting your application:

  1. Go to www.usajobs.gov, select the 'MY USAJOBS' option and log in if you are not already logged in.
  2. On the 'Welcome back' screen, click on 'Applications'.
  3. Find the announcement for which you need to submit documentation. Under the 'Application Status' column, click on 'more information…'. Select the 'View/Generate Fax Cover Sheets' radio button:

Select the 'View/Generate Fax Cover Sheets' radio button:

  1. Click 'Continue'. You will be taken to the page to Generate Fax Cover sheets.
  2. Check the box for the coversheet(s) you wish to print for the job announcement you applied to, and click Print Cover Sheet.
  3. A new window will open with the selected fax cover sheet, go to File and Print the coversheet(s), close out of this window and select 'Done'.

    4. Important:

    1. Carefully follow the instructions on the fax coversheet or your application may not be complete.
    2. If faxing more than one document type, you must NOT fax all documents under one coversheet. You must use the appropriate fax coversheet for each document type (e.g. use college transcripts coversheet once for all transcripts, SF-50 coversheet for SF-50) and fax each set SEPARATELY.
    3. You will receive an email confirmation for each fax that is received by Human Resources (it may take at least 2 – 4 hours). This email confirmation, NOT your fax machine's confirmation, is your official confirmation of receipt.
  4. When you are finished, click 'Return to ROS'. This will take you back to your Online Application History.

Note: If you have questions, please call or email the point of contact noted on the Vacancy Announcement. The contact information is at the bottom of the 5 tabs on the job announcement as shown below.
