Do you qualify for GS-14?

With experience: You need at least 1 year of specialized experience at or equivalent to GS-13 in federal service, or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience means leading data analysts, managing contracts, and using advanced statistical modeling, mathematical optimization, and decision analysis, plus communicating technical findings to senior leaders.

With education: A degree in operations research, or at least 24 semester hours in a mix of operations research, mathematics, probability, statistics, mathematical logic, science, or other courses that require strong college-level math or statistics. At least 3 of those semester hours must be in calculus. The school must be accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages, readable, showing employer, month and year of each job, hours per week, and for federal jobs the pay plan, series, and grade
• Official or unofficial transcripts, or a list of courses with grades, completion dates, and semester hours, if you use education to qualify
• Copy of any professional membership, license, certificate, or credential you claim
• DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference, or a statement of service on command letterhead if you are on active duty

How you will be rated: Human Resources checks your resume against the minimum requirements, then rates you based on your resume and supporting documents. Qualified applicants go to the hiring manager, who may interview them; inflated qualifications can lead to being found not qualified.

Tips for this job:

• Send your resume to jeremy.fesi@usmc.mil, because faxed applications will not be considered.
• If you rely on education, include transcripts or a course list showing at least 3 semester hours of calculus.
• Keep your resume to 2 pages or less and make sure it is readable, or it will not be considered.
