About this role
Overview
IMPORTANT: This is a practice posting created by FedWriters, Inc. (FWI) for Operation Get Seen, a live event with the Veteran Staffing Network (VSN) on November 10, 2026, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM ET. It is not a real job opening and no one will be hired from it. Applying registers you for the event's resume review, so you can see how a resume is read by an applicant tracking system and by people.
About the practice role: A Program Operations Specialist keeps federal programs running on schedule. You track tasks and deliverables, coordinate with team members and stakeholders, prepare status reports and briefings, and help the program manager spot and resolve risks early.
There is no cost, and applying does not affect any real job application. Military-connected applicants (veterans, reserve and guard members, transitioning service members, military spouses, and caregivers) are especially welcome; everyone is invited. Reminder: this is a practice posting for a training event, not a real job opening, and no hiring decision will be made.
