Do you qualify for GS-4?

With experience: You need one year of progressively responsible clerical, office, or other work that gave you the knowledge and skills for this job, at the GS-4 level. Examples include answering phones, filing, checking email, opening and routing mail, making copies, scheduling meetings, and using office equipment like computers and fax machines.

With education: You can use education instead of experience: an associate's degree, or two years of completed education above high school. The school must be accredited, such as a business, secretarial, or technical school, junior college, college, or university. You can also combine education and experience.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages with name, contact information, education, and work experience
• For each job on your resume: dates, hours worked per week, and work schedule
• Unofficial college transcripts with course information, if you use education to qualify
• Evidence that any foreign school was accredited, and an English translation of transcripts, if applicable
• Proof of eligibility and recent SF-50 and performance appraisal, if you claim CTAP, RPL, or ICTAP priority

How you will be rated: You complete an Assessment Questionnaire. Applicants who meet the minimum requirements are placed in the Eligible category, then rated for the Quality category based on your experience, education, and training. Veterans' preference applicants are listed first within each category, and inaccurate or inflated information can lower your score or make you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

• Keep your resume to 2 pages or less, because longer resumes are removed from consideration.
• List the hours per week and work schedule for each job on your resume, since the announcement requires them.
• If you use education to qualify, upload unofficial transcripts that show your name and course information from an accredited school.
