Federal clerical & administrative support jobs
Miscellaneous clerk and assistant positions (series 0303) provide office, records, scheduling and customer service support across federal agencies. They are a common first federal job.
Many 0303 announcements at lower grades are open to the public and accept general work experience or some college in place of specialized experience. That makes them a practical way into the federal workforce.
USAJOBS currently lists 222 open clerical & administrative support announcements. The most active recent employers are Veterans Health Administration, U.S. Army Reserve Command and United States Army Installation Management Command. 44 of the latest 100 offer remote work or telework.
