Request - Location Information

The Request Location Information page is where you add and view the geographic locations that will appear on the job announcement. Geographic locations are used for various purposes. USAJOBS uses geographic locations to match job announcements to job seekers' search criteria. USA Staffing uses geographic locations to show on the job announcement where the positions are located. Finally, applicants use geographic locations during the application process to indicate the locations for which they would like to be considered for employment.
