Applying tip: announcements rate applicants on how specifically they can describe FOIA and Privacy Act experience, so name the exemptions you have applied, the volume and type of records you processed and the case tracking systems you used. Agencies with heavy request loads, such as USCIS, post these jobs regularly. Our USCIS guide covers that agency’s hiring in detail.
