your documentation to your online application once you finish answering the
questions in the job announcement.
(1) You may select a document that you have already uploaded to USAJOBS for a
previous announcement.
(2) You may electronically upload a document directly from your computer to
your application. Be certain to review your complete
application for confirmation the document uploaded and click on "Finished" to
be returned to USAJOBS.
