Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Only U.S. citizens may apply. You must be an active Soldier in the U.S. Army Reserve before a start date can be set.

  • Repair and replace parts in cooling, braking, exhaust, power train and hydraulic systems.
  • Remove, adjust or replace defective or worn parts and components.

Do you qualify for WG-8?

With experience: No specific number of years is required. You must show, through your resume and questionnaire, that you can do the work without more than normal supervision. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts.

With education: This job does not have an education requirement.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Class A CDL within 90 days of employment

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less showing employer, job title, start and end month and year, and hours per week
  • Responses to the online questionnaire
  • Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service, if you are a man born after December 31, 1959
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship
  • Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
  • Cover letter (optional)

How you will be rated: Your full application package (resume, supporting documents and questionnaire) will be reviewed against the qualifications. If you fail the screen-out element, which tests your ability to do the work without more than normal supervision, you will be rated ineligible. If the agency finds you have inflated your experience, you may lose consideration.

Tips for this job:

  • Keep your resume to two pages or less and list hours per week for each job, or your application may be marked incomplete.
  • Describe your maintenance work in plain words and avoid acronyms, since the agency will not assume what your resume means.
  • Upload your documents early, because virus scans can take up to an hour or more, and re-select any non-resume documents in the online application.
