Thank you for your interest in employment with the U.S. Mission in Belgium. To view a current list of all available positions at the U.S. Mission in Belgium and to apply online, please visit our ERA site.
All applications must be submitted through ERA to be considered.
All applicants must create an ERA profile and submit their complete application through ERA for each vacancy of their interest.
A complete application means that your ERA profile outlines how you meet the minimum qualifications as listed in the vacancy announcement (education, experience and language proficiency), and contains the required attachments.
Due to regular system updates, ERA may undergo unforeseen maintenance outages at any time. In anticipation of the outages, the human resources office advises all applicants to submit applications as early as possible and not wait until the closing date of the vacancy. Applicants can log in and make changes to their applications online before the actual deadline. It is not possible to update or submit an application after the closing date.
Resume and cover letter are not required. Applicants may decide to submit them voluntarily as attachments, but if their ERA profile is not up to date, the attachments will not be visible to us. Applicants must work on their ERA profile and outline the accurate and relevant education, experience and language proficiency. ERA saves these updates for applicants, so if you are planning to submit your application for multiple vacancies, you do not have start from scratch each time.
Each vacancy outlines a list of mandatory attachments for all applicants and for preference applicants. Always make sure that you cross-reference the list and provide all documents as required
