This job in plain English

This is a full-time supervisor job for the Medical Records Scanning Unit at the Chalmers P. Wylie Veterans Affairs Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, OH, run by the Veterans Health Administration. The unit scans documents into electronic medical records and handles administrative files. You must live within commuting distance of the work site or be willing to move there, because this is not a virtual job.

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.

This job is open to the public. The announcement lists U.S. citizens, nationals and people who owe allegiance to the U.S., but its conditions also say you must be a U.S. citizen to apply.

What you would do

  • Plan, organize and direct the work of the medical records scanning unit.
  • Help the Records Manager keep records retrieval, tracking, scanning and purging on time.
  • Recruit for unit vacancies and take part in selecting new staff.
  • Supervise staff, distribute workload and review how staff resources are used.
  • Hold staff meetings at least monthly and submit performance appraisals on time.
  • Train new employees within one day of their assignment.

Do you qualify for GS-6?

With experience: You may qualify at the GS-6 level with 1 year of specialized experience that was at least GS-5 level in federal service. Qualifying experience includes retrieving, tracking, scanning, purging or retiring records, and overseeing staff who scan documents.

With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less with up-to-date phone number and email address
  • Transcript if you use education to qualify
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 if you claim 10-point veterans' preference or have a disability letter for 10-point preference
  • SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
  • Other documents listed in the announcement that apply to your situation

How you will be rated: You will be rated on your application, questionnaire, resume and assessments. The assessments include a Supervisory Situational Judgment Test (about 45 minutes, untimed) that measures conflict management, influencing and negotiating, managing resources, partnering, and planning and evaluating. Your rating can drop or you can lose consideration if your resume does not support your questionnaire answers or if your experience seems inflated.

Tips for this job:

  • Use month and year start and end dates for every job on your resume, and list hours per week for each job.
  • Keep your resume to two pages or less and match its wording to the duties and competencies in the announcement.
  • You must answer every item on the Supervisory Situational Judgment Test, even though there is no cut score.
