Every tentative federal job offer (TJO) across executive branch agencies, the VA, DoD civilian service, and federal contractor suitability onboarding packets requires Optional Form 306 (OF-306).

JustFill lets federal applicants, HR specialists, and government contractors complete all 3 pages of OF-306 online or batch-prepare onboarding packets from CSV/Excel.
