How does DOE Jobs ONLINE work?
DOE Jobs ONLINE automates the federal hiring process. Interested applicants can review vacancy announcements and answer position-specific questions while at this Website. After the vacancy closes, the HR office uses the system to automatically rate, rank, and certify candidates. Top talent is instantly identified and ready to be forwarded to the selecting official. When submitting my application, I get an error message that the primary key was violated when I hit the “Submit” button. This happens when applicants click on the “Submit” button more than once, which causes the application to be submitted as two new applications. DOE Jobs ONLINE then will send applicants an error message that the primary key was violated. This violation does not affect your application since the data was saved the first time it was submitted.
