Do you qualify for GS-9?
With experience: You need at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-7 level in federal service, in either public or private sector work. Your experience must cover budget and accounting work like the duties listed above. Your resume must state full-time or part-time and hours worked per week for each job.
With education: You can qualify with a master's or equivalent graduate degree, or two full years of progressively higher graduate study leading to such a degree, or a law degree (LL.B. or J.D.) if related. The degree must reflect the knowledge needed for the work. You can also combine education and experience, where graduate semester hours above 18 and full-time experience months each count toward 100 percent. Education cannot replace experience at this grade.
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume showing duties, dates in month-year format, and hours per week, no more than 2 single-sided pages
- Complete the USA Hire Competency Based Assessments
- Official or unofficial college transcripts if you qualify through education, including undergraduate and graduate transcripts
- Veterans preference documents such as DD-214 if applicable
- CTAP/ICTAP proof: agency notice, SF-50s, and most recent performance appraisal if applicable
How you will be rated: You are rated using category rating (Best Qualified, Well Qualified, or Qualified) based on your resume, the application questionnaire, and the USA Hire assessment. Overstating experience, false statements, or cheating can remove you from consideration.
Tips for this job:
- Your resume must list hours per week or say full-time for every job, or that time may not count.
- Include transcripts if you use education to qualify, and attach CTAP/ICTAP proof if you claim that priority.
- Complete the USA Hire assessment within the deadline, since you must meet the cut score to be considered.
