  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

You must be a U.S. citizen to apply. The job is open to the public and to current permanent federal employees of other agencies, who are considered first.

Do you qualify for GS-12?

With experience: You need at least 1 full year of specialized experience at the GS-11 level or higher in the federal service. This experience must be directly related to the job, such as independently analyzing data, evaluating workflows, and leading informatics projects. One full year means 35 to 40 hours of work per week, and part-time experience counts only for the time actually spent.

With education: The announcement does not list a degree that qualifies you. It says degrees must come from schools accredited by a U.S. Department of Education recognized accrediting body, and foreign education needs a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency.

  • Cover letter, if required for your situation
  • Transcript, if you use education to qualify
  • DD-214 with dates and character of service, if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 with proof, if you claim 10-point veterans' preference
  • SF-50, if you are a current or former federal employee
  • VA disability letter, if applicable

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the listed qualifications, based on your online questionnaire and documents. Your application and documents will be verified, and missing or unclear information may lower your rating or make you ineligible. Current permanent federal employees are reviewed first, then other applicants based on veterans' preference.

Tips for this job:

  • Show your specialized experience clearly in the questionnaire and resume, including dates and hours per week.
  • Include a long-form resume or CV that describes your duties in each job in detail.
  • If you claim veterans' preference, attach your DD-214 and any SF-15 form and proof the announcement requires.
