Education: If you use education to qualify, the school must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

How they rate you: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications, using knowledge, skills, and abilities measured against OPM standards. Some applicants may be interviewed and asked about the same knowledge, skills, and abilities, and applicants can be rated ineligible for a resume over two pages, an unreadable resume, or a resume with photos or personal information such as age, gender, religion, or Social Security number.

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 (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Keep your resume to two pages or less and use a font of 10 point or larger, or you will not be considered.
For each job, list the hours per week and your supervisor's name and phone number, since these are required.
Only list schools that are accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting institution if you rely on education to qualify.
