Overview: Applicant
Users in Workforce Portal fall into one of two statuses: Applicant or Worker. When a user creates a Workforce Portal account, they will likely be an applicant.
The applicant workflow includes completing your application, applying to assignments, and accepting offers. After you accept an offer, the agency changes your status from applicant to worker.
Step 1: Complete your application
Your application includes your profile (Personal), preferences, credentials, experience, acknowledgment forms, assessments (Skills and Tests), and documents.
Although you can apply to open assignments without completing your application, many assignments will be closed to you and your reviewer will see an incomplete application. You can edit your application at any time.
Complete the following actions:
-
Create your profile
-
Enter your preferences
-
Enter your credentials
-
Enter your experience
-
Complete competency tests
-
Complete skills tests
-
Upload documents
-
