Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes today (November 5, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: Your resume is reviewed to see if you meet the requirements, then rated on knowledge, skills and ability. Your questionnaire answers are a self-rating that your resume must support, and you may be rated lower or found ineligible if your resume does not back them up. Interviews may be held.
4 After you apply
In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.
For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.
If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Your resume must show your hours per week and exact dates for every job, or you may be rated lower.
- Put at least three professional references with contact details in your resume.
- Your questionnaire answers must match your resume, so describe your turf, pesticide and equipment experience clearly and specifically.
