Help recruiters find you by making your resume and profile searchable

Making your resume and profile searchable adds it to our resume bank which means recruiters may contact you directly about possible jobs.

To make your resume searchable:

1. Sign into USAJOBS and go to your Documents
2. Select the Searchable check box for the resume you’d like to make searchable—if your profile is complete, recruiters can see it too.

If you want to remove your resume from the resume bank, you will have to select another resume or delete the resume.

Keep in mind:

• You can only make one resume searchable at a time.
• Only Word documents, text-based pdfs, text files and resumes created using our Resume Builder tool are searchable. PDF portfolio files may not be viewable. Convert them to standard PDFs before uploading.
• If your profile is complete, your profile will also be searchable. Learn more about creating a profile.
• Your resume will only remain searchable for 18 months unless it is renewed.
