Intelligence Specialist

What you would do

• Process and exploit complex intelligence information using independent judgment and new methods.
• Present intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to military, national, and coalition customers.
• Serve as functional authority on signals intelligence and advise Group leadership on operational policy.

Do you qualify for GG-13?

With experience: Your experience must show you can do the work at the GG-13 level, such as knowledge of intelligence research, processing, and exploitation methods, multi-source intelligence systems, and writing intelligence reports. Creditable experience can come from military service, private sector work, or another government agency, including unpaid or part-time work.

With education: An advanced degree related to intelligence, or a professional or scientific degree, is desirable but not required. Schools must be accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to count.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Online application questionnaire

• SF-50 (Notification of Personnel Action) if you are a current or former federal employee
• Proof of eligibility documents if you claim veterans' preference

If your questionnaire answers are not supported by your documents, you may be rated 'not qualified' or 'insufficient information' and removed from consideration.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must list dates (month/year) and hours per week for every job, or it may be marked insufficient.
