To create a job search agent:

To create an email job search agent you must create an account at the USAJOBS website. Once your account has been created, agents are developed by clicking the [Agents] tab and following the USAJOBS guidance on creating a job search agent.

Once you have created an agent, the system will automatically send you e-mail notification weekly when jobs open meeting your saved search criteria. You may click on the link sent to you within the email for any job for full job vacancy information.

You may create up to 5 e-mail job search agents. You may edit or delete these agents at any time.
