/processmap

Create a process map of the USAJOBS application journey using the current OPM help article. Group steps into six readable stages, but preserve the handoff from USAJOBS to the hiring agency's application system and the need to check receipt. Distinguish applicant actions from later agency review and possible interview/selection. Do not imply searching requires an account, autosaving equals submission, or an interview/offer is guaranteed. Do not invent hiring durations.

Read the official source below before designing. If you cannot open it, ask me to paste the relevant text; do not guess. Show the page date if available and your retrieval date. Use only supported facts and clearly label scope, exceptions, uncertainty and editorial groupings. Treat the slash label as a format request, not an assumed built-in command. Use a clean fine-line editorial style, readable type, ample spacing and labels that do not rely on color alone. Produce the actual visual if your tools support it; otherwise provide an explicitly labeled layout specification. Include the official link, concise alt text, a complete text equivalent and a fact-check list. Do not invent an agency seal, endorsement or product screenshot.
