Do you qualify for GS-15?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at a level equal to GS-14, the next lower grade, in the federal government. This experience must show you can do the duties of this job, such as setting enterprise data or AI strategy, directing a complex program with its own budget and supervisors, or leading executive-level stakeholder work.

With education: Education cannot replace specialized experience for this position.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume, two pages maximum, showing your experience and dates
• Completed Assessment Questionnaire
• Transcripts or certifications if you use education to qualify
• Cover letter (optional)
• DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
• SF-15 if you claim 10-point derived veterans' preference
• Military spouse, reserve or guard technician, or retained grade checklists only if they apply to you

How you will be rated: HR first checks that your resume and documents meet the minimum qualifications, then rates you using the Occupational Questionnaire and a USA Hire Assessment. You are placed in the Best Qualified, Highly Qualified, or Qualified category, and veterans get priority within each category. If you overstate your qualifications, you may receive a lower rating or lose consideration.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must show your specialized experience in detail and stay within two pages.
• If you use education to qualify, send transcripts from accredited schools, but remember education cannot replace experience here.
• Set aside about two hours for the USA Hire Assessment and finish it before the deadline sent after you apply.
