What you would do

Do you qualify for GS-11?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at a level comparable to GS-9. This experience should include directing facility and maintenance operations, planning technical facility needs, evaluating building maintenance and repair, and handling administrative supplies and equipment. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts.

With education: Three full years of graduate education leading to a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree can replace the specialized experience requirement. Combinations of education and experience can also be used.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume, two pages maximum, showing your experience and education
• Answers to the online occupational questionnaire, which takes about 15 minutes
• Transcripts or certifications if you use education to qualify, verified before appointment
• Cover letter (optional)
• DD-214 if you claim veterans preference
• SF-15 if you claim 10-point derived veterans preference

How you will be rated: Your questionnaire answers and resume are rated on administration and management, communication, decision making, leadership and technical competence. Qualified applicants are placed in Best Qualified, Highly Qualified or Qualified categories. Misstating your qualifications can cost you consideration.

Tips for this job:

• Keep your resume to two pages and show dates and hours for each experience that matches the GS-9 requirement.
• If you rely on education to qualify, submit official transcripts with your application from accredited schools.
• Start your background check paperwork early, since a Secret clearance investigation can delay your start.
