Some federal jobs are listed on USAjobs(http://www.usajobs.gov/), but others are on Avue Digital (http://www.avuedigitalservices.com) and the SEC uses FutureStep (http://sec.futurestep.com/sec). What other websites list federal jobs or have talent pool submission forms for federal agencies? Where are Congressional/Hill jobs listed?

Re: USAjobs
There is a weekly email for House jobs, which can be found here: http://www.house.gov/content/jobs/
It is worth noting that most of the jobs on the Hill are not even posted. Many are filled through informal networks where one staffer knows another staffer who knows someone they will vouch for. If you are seriously interested in getting a job in the House or in the Senate you should reach out to any alumni working there. Most staffers have been in the position you are in now and are generally willing to give you half an hour of their time to talk about what they do. There is a huge advantage to being in DC because you can actually meet these people face to face, attend a Congressional briefing, or a mark up.
