The .gov means it’s official.
Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you’re on a federal government site.

There are some exceptions to this rule. During the USAJOBS application process, you may be sent to an agency specific application system that DOES NOT contain a .mil or .gov. Rest assured, if you apply to any job through USAJOBS.gov your information is safe and secure.
