How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well your application and resume meet the stated qualifications. Your answers will be checked against your resume, and errors or missing details may lower your rating or remove you from consideration.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must show hours per week and month-and-year dates for each job, or you may lose consideration.
  • If you apply for EDRP, submit that application within four months of appointment.
