Invitation emails will be sent via USAHire_Support@panpowered.com. If you do not receive an invitation to test within 1-2 business days after submitting your application, please check your spam or junk mail first to ensure the invitation has not been re-routed. If you do not receive an invitation to test during the specified timeframe, contact the ANBE Recruitment line at 1-855-499-0578 or send an e-mail to ANBERecruitment@occ.treas.gov to request a copy of your invitation e-mail.

Your responses to the online questions must be supported by the education and/or experience described in your application.
