How to Apply for 

US Border Patrol

OPM Job Search Engine

The URL for the link above is the official Office of Personnel Management Web Page and is very user friendly. You may search for any federal job in any location on that web site.

Always check the home page listed below just in case I forgot to update this when the announcement opens.

For future Border Patrol Agent vacancies, bookmark this site and check it at least weekly:

If the on-line application is available during an open hiring period, you will find a link on the page linked above.

If you are a recently discharged veteran (I think within ninety days of discharge) you can open a register with the Office of Personnel Management. What this means is that even if the recruitment period is not open, if a test date is pending, you should be able to request to be tested. I have no personal experience with this, but I do know that the option exists. Contact the veteran's representative at your local employment office for more precise information. Veterans (those who have been awarded the National Defense Service Medal [Firewatch ribbon, for you Leathernecks]) receive five points (or more) additional to their passing test score. For the real story on veteran's preference check the official OPM website by clicking the link below:
