Do you qualify for GS-5?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience, meaning work at a level similar to GS-4 (the grade just below this job). Examples include clerical and administrative work, answering emergency calls, and using computer and phone systems to keep records.

With education: A bachelor's degree, or 4 years of successfully completed education above high school, from an accredited school, college, or university. Education beyond the first 60 semester hours can be combined with experience.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages showing personal information, education, and work experience
• Work experience dates, title, and hours worked per week for each job
• Unofficial college transcripts if you use education to qualify (official transcripts are needed if selected)
• Evidence of accreditation if any education was from a foreign school
• Proof of eligibility, SF-50, and recent performance appraisal if you claim CTAP, RPL, or ICTAP priority

How you will be rated: Applicants who meet the minimum requirements are placed in the Eligible category, then rated for the Quality category based on their Assessment Questionnaire answers. Veterans' preference applicants are listed ahead of others in each category. Inflated or inaccurate information, or errors and omissions, 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 worked per week and exact dates for each past job, since the announcement requires them.
• If you use education to qualify, upload your transcripts with the application, and make sure they show your name and course information.
