Applying for NCDOC JOBS
Read the "HOW TO APPLY" section in each of the job announcements. Many will say to send your resume to ncdoc.hiring@ncdoc.navy.mil and then will specify what to include in the Subject Line. The subject line is very important because we sometimes have multiple positions open and are collecting resumes for several positions. Hiring Managers do not have time to review ALL resumes coming in for ALL positions. The subject line is specific to the Dept/Div and the job title for which you are applying. Your email will get to the appropriate Hiring Manager when identified in the subject line.
Some announcements will direct you to apply through USAJOBS. If this is the case, please follow those announcement directions.
