Required Documents:
Read the following instructions carefully. If you fail to submit the
required supplemental documentation by midnight Eastern Time on the
closing date of the announcement, your application will be considered
incomplete.
Follow the instructions below.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING REQUIRED DOCUMENTS:
(1) When you complete the GSAjobs registration process, you will be
directed to a "Generate Auto-Requested Fax Cover Sheets" page. If
you've already registered, return to the GSAjobs
registration page at https://jobs1.quickhire.com/scripts/gsa.exe, log
in and select the "Generate Fax Cover Sheets" option and
click 'Next'. Review the Required Documents section of the
announcement to determine if any of the documents listed are
applicable to you. NOTE: If other documents are required, specific

Sheets" page will appear upon completion of the on-line vacancy
questionnaire.
(2) Follow instructions to print cover sheets and fax documents
which apply to you. You must fax the appropriate cover sheet and a
legible copy of the corresponding document to the fax number given on
that cover sheet. Since the fax number may be different on each
cover sheet, be sure to fax the cover sheet and corresponding
document to the fax number listed. Each document must be faxed
separately, in separate phone/fax calls, as each cover sheet includes
a unique identification number to ensure your document is processed
correctly.
(3) Upon successful transmission of each faxed document, the fax
machine should generate a confirmation sheet showing the phone number
to which the document was faxed, the number of pages, and the date
and time sent. You should wait to receive this confirmation prior to
faxing subsequent documents as each document must be faxed in a
separate phone call.
(4) Once each document has been successfully received, you will get
an automatic email confirmation from GSAjobs which will be sent to
the email address listed in your GSAjobs applicant profile. You
should receive a separate email confirmation for each document
submitted. If you do not receive an automated email confirmation for
a document, re-fax that cover sheet and document to the number
provided. Do not assume that a document has been received until you
have received a confirmation email.
CHANGING/UPDATING DOCUMENTS:
If you wish to make any changes to your supplemental documents, re-
fax by using the original cover sheet or print a new one and fax
to the phone number provided. Only the most recently faxed version
of each document will be maintained by the system. If you have
