  • Transcripts, if you qualify through education
  • Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
  • Cover letter, optional

How you will be rated: Your full application package, including your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers, is reviewed to see if you meet the qualifications. If it is found that you have inflated your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and errors or missing information may affect your eligibility.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must be two pages or less and must show hours per week for each job, or your application may be marked incomplete.
  • If you qualify through education, you must upload your transcripts, or your education will not be counted.
