Before you apply
Public service listings ask for work history in the specific agency, branch or program. Be ready to describe your role and years of service without sharing anything restricted.
Applying starts with an AI interview, then certification, then matching to projects by recruiters. micro1 says certification does not guarantee a project, so treat this as flexible work and not as a job offer. The how to become an AI trainer guide walks through each step.
