Do you qualify for GS-11 (up to GS-14)?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the GS-9 level to qualify for GS-11. This means work in federal or private sector jobs that involved conducting trade, economic, financial, or marketing studies, gathering trade data, using analysis techniques, and briefing managers on findings.

With education: Education can qualify you instead of experience if your major was in business administration, economics, business or international law, finance, industrial management, international trade or relations, or another directly related field. A Ph.D. or 3 full years of graduate study in a related program also qualifies at GS-11, and education and experience can be combined to reach 100 percent. Education must come from a school accredited by an accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and foreign education must be evaluated.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume showing job titles, dates by month and year, hours per week, salary, duties, and supervisor names and phone numbers
  • Occupational questionnaire
  • College transcripts, unofficial copies are acceptable, if you use education to qualify
  • DD-214 if you claim 5-point veterans' preference
  • SF-15 if you claim 10-point veterans' preference
  • For CTAP or ICTAP: agency notice, most recent performance rating, and most recent SF-50
  • Statement of service if you are on active duty and claim preference
  • Optional cover letter

How you will be rated: Your resume, documents, online questionnaire, and USA Hire competency assessment are rated. If you rate yourself higher than your application supports, your answers may be lowered or you may be excluded, and the hiring manager may request a writing assessment.

Tips for this job:

  • Give months and years for each job, plus hours per week, or the experience may not count.
  • Complete both the online questionnaire and the USA Hire assessment, since both are required.
  • Upload your transcripts if you use education, and include supervisor names and phone numbers on your resume.
