I don't think this has been posted before in this thread but I found a blog today where a patent examiner who joined the Patent Training Academy (PTA) on May 28th talks about his daily experiences as he goes through the PTA:

It's pretty interesting to read...

What's the timeline for hearing back on an application submitted through USAJOBS? I submitted and app for a PATENT EXAMINER (EE, COMP E, CS, PHYSICS) position on 3/5/07, hearing nothing, and have resubmitted a new app on 6/20/07. The 3/5 app now shows CLOSED, but the 6/20 still shows open.

Marklyon,
Like most people have suggested, I would recommend that you try to contact a SPE (supervisory patent examiner) or hiring coordinator in an area that you are interested in. Or if you know a current patent examiner or someone that works there you should contact him/her and see if they can pass your resume around to supervisors that are currently hiring. Here are some links that might help you:
Hiring Contacts (most of these are SPEs)
http://usptocareers.gov/contact.asp
You can search the different Technology Centers and find a supervisor on the Management Rosters here:
http://www.uspto.gov/web/info/pat-tech.htm
http://www.uspto.gov/web/info/index.html
Link to setup your own interview with a SPE if they are hiring in your area of education/experience:
http://www.usptocareers.gov/jobfair/
From what I have seen so far it seems like it's pretty difficult for someone to just get hired by submitting their application just through USAJOBS without actually going to a job fair and meeting someone from the USPTO or knowing someone that works there.
Goodluck...
