Do you qualify for GS-7 to GS-9?

With experience: For GS-7, you need 1 year of specialized experience at about the GS-5 level, such as health care administration, medical staff or credentialing work, medical terminology, or database work. For GS-9, you need 1 year of specialized experience at about the GS-7 level, and you must also meet an Individual Occupational Requirement that is checked on your resume.

With education: Education can qualify you in place of experience. For GS-7, you need 1 full year of graduate education or superior academic achievement in hospital administration, public health administration, or a related field such as business or public administration with health care administration courses. For GS-9, you need a master's or equivalent graduate degree, or 2 full years of progressively higher graduate education, in hospital or public health administration. You can also combine education and experience.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages, showing job title, duties, month and year dates, and hours per week for each job
• Transcript if you use education to qualify, plus a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency for foreign education
• SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
• ICTAP or CTAP documents if you are a displaced federal employee: agency notice, most recent performance rating, and most recent SF-50
• Schedule A disability letter if you apply under that authority

How you will be rated: You are rated on your application materials, your questionnaire answers, and a USA Hire online assessment that measures nine general skills, such as attention to detail, teamwork, and stress tolerance. You must meet the assessment cut score to be considered, and you can be removed for overstating your experience or for cheating on the assessment.

Tips for this job:

• List job title, duties, month and year dates, and hours per week for every job on your resume, and keep it to 2 pages.
• If you use education to qualify, attach a transcript. Foreign degrees also need a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency.
• Complete the USA Hire online assessment on time, because you must meet the cut score to be considered.
