Do you qualify for GG-8?

With experience: You need at least 1 year of experience at a level comparable to GG-8, which is the grade of this job. Qualifying experience includes project management, requirements analysis, quality control processes, giving presentations and briefings on project reviews, and giving technical or analytical advice to staff. Paid or unpaid experience counts, including volunteer work and military service, and you must meet all qualifications within 30 days after the closing date.

With education: Graduate-level education can replace part of the required experience if it is directly related to the job. Eighteen months of graduate education can substitute for the specialized experience, and the school must be accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting body. Education from foreign schools must be evaluated by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services when you apply.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume, two pages maximum, with job titles, duties, month and year start and end dates, and hours per week
• Completed eligibility questionnaire
• Transcripts, if you use graduate education to qualify
• SF-50 showing your highest permanent grade, if you are a current or former federal employee
• DD-214 or active duty service statement, if you claim veterans' preference
• Military Spouse Preference self-certification checklist, if you claim that preference
• Military Reserve or National Guard technician checklist, if that applies to you

How you will be rated: Your resume and supporting documents are compared with your questionnaire answers to decide if you are qualified. If it looks like you have overstated your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and errors or missing information may lower your rating.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must list the month and year for each job, plus hours per week, or it may be rated ineligible.
