Do you qualify for NH-2?

With experience: The announcement does not describe a work experience path. It says qualifications are based on the OPM qualification standards for Professional and Scientific positions, and the job is at NH-02 level, equal to GS-05 to GS-11.

With education: You need a bachelor's degree or higher with at least 24 semester hours in appropriate coursework. The coursework must cover at least four of these five areas: learning theory, instructional design practices, educational evaluation, instructional product development, and computers in education and training. Foreign degrees must be shown to be equivalent to U.S. degrees. Education must come from a school accredited by a U.S. Department of Education recognized accrediting body.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than two pages, with font no smaller than 10 points
• Resume must show hours worked per week and dates of employment (month/year)
• Resume must include your full first and last name
• Completed online application questionnaire
• Transcripts if you qualify using education, with accredited school information
• Active registration or license if the position requires one
• Agency notice, most recent performance rating, and SF-50 if you are an ICTAP eligible displaced federal employee
• Certification memo or DD Form 214 if you are an active duty service member claiming veterans' preference

How you will be rated: Your application package, including your resume, documents, and questionnaire answers, is used to rank your qualifications. If your documents do not support your questionnaire answers, you will be rated not qualified or insufficient information and will not be considered further.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must list hours per week and month/year dates for each job, or your application may be marked insufficient.
• Send transcripts if you use your degree to qualify, and make sure your school is accredited.
• Make sure your documents support your questionnaire answers, because mismatches lead to a not qualified rating.
