Do you qualify for GS-13?
With experience: You need at least one full year of specialized experience at the GS-12 level, in federal or private sector work. Specialized experience means work that built the skills needed for this job, such as reporting program status to leaders, managing schedules and budgets, or serving as a Contracting Officer's Representative (the person who oversees a contract).
With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade.
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume of no more than two pages, with start and end dates (mm/yy to mm/yy) and hours per week for each job
- SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
- CTAP or ICTAP eligibility documents if you apply under those programs
- Proof of political appointee status if it applies to you

- College transcripts or proof of accredited education only if you rely on education to qualify
- Any other supporting documents the announcement requires
How you will be rated: Your resume and documents are checked to confirm you meet the basic qualifications. Ratings, rankings, and veterans' preference do not apply, so your questionnaire answers are not scored. Applicants who meet the requirements move on to a structured interview stage, and resumes over two pages, unreadable documents, or missing required documents can remove you from consideration.
Tips for this job:
- Keep your resume to two pages or less, with a font size of at least 10 points and margins of at least 0.5 inches.
- Show at least one year of work that matches this job's duties at the GS-12 level, with start and end dates and hours per week.
