Do you qualify for ES?

With experience: You must show demonstrated experience leading enterprise transformation in a complex health care organization, including program management, systems redesign, change management, and implementing legislative requirements. The announcement does not state a grade level because this is a Senior Executive Service job.

With education: The announcement does not list a required degree. If you use education to qualify, only schools accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education count, and foreign education needs a credential evaluation.

Resumes over 2 pages, or with the wrong margins or font, are disqualified, and separate narratives are not reviewed.

Tips for this job:
