Do you qualify for NF-4?

With experience: You need 3 years of full-time work with children or youth, combined with appropriate education, or a combination of education and experience. The announcement does not tie this experience to a stated grade level.

With education: You can qualify with a 4-year degree in early childhood education, child development, elementary or special education, home economics (early childhood emphasis), or a related field, plus 3 years of full-time work with children or youth. You can also qualify with a master's degree in a related field plus 1 year of professional work with children. A combination of at least 24 higher-level semester hours in a related field plus experience or coursework equal to a 4-year degree, plus 3 years of full-time work with children or youth, also qualifies.

How you will be rated: Your resume is checked for eligibility and then rated on knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) using a set scoring guide. You must also complete the online questionnaire. Best qualified applicants go to the hiring manager, and interviews may be held; missing documents can lead to an ineligible rating.

Tips for this job:

• Send official transcripts only; diplomas and degree audits are not accepted, and missing transcripts can make you ineligible.
• Show your 3 years of full-time work with children or youth on your resume, with dates and hours per week.
