Who can apply: The public.
Open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or a person who owes allegiance to the U.S. This is a Direct Hiring Authority announcement.
Experience: You need one year of specialized experience, meaning work that gave you the skills this job needs. To qualify at the GS-12 level, that experience must be equal to the GS-11 level. Examples include using tools like SAS, R, Python, QLIK, or Excel for data analysis, and writing reports or briefings for senior leaders. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts.
Education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade. If you list education, it must come from a school accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Licenses and certifications:
- DoD Acquisition Life Cycle Logistics Level 1 (Foundational) certification, completed within required timeframes
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

Write a federal resume for this job. For each job you held, give the month and year you started and ended, your hours per week and what you did, using the words of the experience the announcement asks for. Many announcements accept resumes of up to 2 pages: check this one.
3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 3 days (November 8, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
This job closes when the agency receives 100 applications, which may happen before the closing date.
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 application is checked for basic eligibility and whether your experience meets the minimum qualifications. Veteran's preference, the rule of three, and traditional ranking do not apply to this vacancy. Errors or missing information may lower your rating or make you ineligible, and interviews may use Behavior Based Interviewing.
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:
- Keep your resume to 2 pages or less, because a longer resume will remove you from consideration.
- List the work schedule, hours per week, dates, and duties for each job on your resume.
- Complete the online questionnaire fully, since errors or omissions can lower your rating.
