USAJobs is the best place to start. I will say that the Federal jobs process is COMPLETELY different than on the outside. Civ resume is 1 or 2 pages. Government resume is as long as it takes to show everything they want. I mean multiple pages, 6 - 8 or more is not uncommon. Also, you need to tailor the contents of what you did for each job to be as close as you can to what the job description is without BS'ing. You need to be able to support what you say you did, but you need to have them be able to see the same things in your resume as are in the job announcement position description/duties/KSA's. (Knowledge, skills, and abilities.) There are software filters that sort out the 'chaff', so if you don't have key words and phrases that match you'll wind up in the recycle bin. The closer, the better. If you can look at things you've done and match them up to what they want, match up the wording too.
