Yes.  You may apply for as many current positions for which you meet all minimum requirements.  An application package must be submitted for each position.

We regret that we are unable to send ‘not selected’ notifications to applicants who have not been shortlisted.  However, we do advise all applicants that if they have not heard from us within six weeks of the closing date of the announcement to assume that they have not been selected for testing and interviews.  To those applicants not selected, we extend our appreciation for considering the U.S. Embassy Amman as a potential employer.

The applicant must fully meet all requirements of the advertised position. The Human Resources (HR) office will review all applications and shortlist those which meet all the requirements.  The hiring section will determine which of those shortlisted applicants are invited for testing. Applicants who pass the required testing will be invited for an interview.  The hiring office makes the final decision based on interview results and the written test.

Each vacancy announcement has a “QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED” section. All applications are evaluated according to these requirements as well as to conflicts of interest, budget, and residency status.  Please ensure that you fully meet all of the required qualifications, not just some, before applying. If you are not a Jordanian passport holder, you must ensure you have the proper residency and work permits before we can consider your application.  As we receive large volume of applications, we cannot send regret letters to unqualified and unselected applicants.

You may apply again if the position is still open or is re-advertised. You must apply to an open position each time you wish to be considered. Applications are not automatically considered.  All applications are destroyed after 6 months.

No. The U.S. Embassy does not accept unsolicited applications. There must be an open position for which you are qualified in order to apply.  We do not keep an active file of submitted resumes. Applications received without a specific position will not be given consideration.
