Do you qualify for GS-7?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must be two pages or less and must show the hours per week for each job, or it may be marked incomplete.
  • Describe your case accessioning, cancer record, or database data entry work clearly, and avoid acronyms.
