Virtual Internships with the Federal Government
If you’re a student interested in a virtual internship with the federal government, it’s time to #ApplyinJuly, and this year the process has been improved. Students can view internships and apply all in one place: USAJOB’s Open Opportunities VSFS Community.
New features that applicants have requested include:
- Real-time applicant tally for each internship
- Individual text box for each statement of interest, so applicants have more space to address each internship
- The option to upload an existing résumé rather than having to use the USAJOBS résumé builder
- The option to use a different, customized résumé for each internship
- A status dashboard to review application materials
- Each of the 600+ internships has an applicant cap of 300
Here are the simplified instructions:
- Click “Join community” to create a Login.gov account and Open Opps profile
- Click “View internships”
- Apply for up to three internships through July 28
Apply through Thursday, July 28
