Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for a federal job from Puerto Rico?
All federal positions are applied for on USAJOBS.gov with an account that costs nothing. You need a federal-format resume (more detailed than a private-sector one) and to answer each announcement's questionnaire. Our resume builder includes the federal format.
Do federal jobs in Puerto Rico pay the same as in the mainland U.S.?
Federal positions use official pay scales (like GS) published by OPM, with locality adjustments. Each announcement lists the exact salary range; we show it exactly as the official announcement does.
Do I need U.S. citizenship to work for the federal government?
Most federal positions require U.S. citizenship, Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, so you meet this requirement. Each announcement specifies who may apply.
