What you would do

• Carry out office work for the agricultural programs run in the county.

• Plan and carry out assigned tasks, using good judgment to solve problems.

Do you qualify for CO-5 to CO-9?

With experience: At least one year of general work experience supporting agricultural operations, government programs, or office and customer service work qualifies you for grade CO-5. For CO-7 or CO-9, you need one year of specialized experience at the CO-5 or GS-5 level, or at the CO-7 or GS-7 level in federal service, that shows knowledge of agricultural program rules.

With education: Four years of education above high school at an accredited college or university, or a bachelor's degree, qualifies you for CO-5. For CO-7, one full year of graduate education, or a bachelor's degree with superior academic achievement (3.0 GPA, 3.5 GPA in your major's last two years, upper third of your class, or membership in a national honor society), qualifies. For CO-9, a master's or equivalent graduate degree, or two full academic years of graduate study toward one, qualifies.
