How to apply well

What to send:

• Complete resume, no more than 2 pages and readable, showing employer, dates (Mo/Yr), hours per week, and pay plan, series, and grade for federal jobs
• Copies of any licenses, certificates, or professional memberships you claim
• Official or unofficial transcripts, or a list of courses with grades and dates, if you use education to qualify
• DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference, with a copy for each period of service

How you will be rated: Human Resources will check your resume and documents against the minimum qualifications, and qualified applicants go to the hiring manager. The selecting official may interview you. You may be rated ineligible for incomplete packages or if your qualifications appear inflated.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must show dates by month and year, plus hours per week and the pay plan, series, and grade for any federal job, or it may be rated low.
• Send your application only by email to chuck.burdulis@usmc.mil, because faxed applications will not be considered.
