Do you qualify for GS-7 (up to GS-11)?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience, meaning work that manages, analyzes, coordinates, or controls supplies, equipment, repairable assets, or material needs, at the next lower level (GS-05) in federal service. Equivalent private or public sector experience in inventory management, acquisition, supply support, or life-cycle logistics also counts. Paid and unpaid work, including volunteer work, counts.

With education: A bachelor's degree with superior academic achievement, or 1 full year of graduate-level education, can qualify you in place of experience. The education must show the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for the work.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages, showing employer, dates (month/year), hours per week, and pay plan, series and grade for federal jobs
• Copy of any professional membership, license, certificate or credential you claim
• Official or unofficial transcripts, or a course list with grades and dates, if you use education to qualify
• DD-214 or VA letter if you claim veterans' preference (preference does not apply under this hiring authority)

How you will be rated: Your resume is rated on how well it shows you meet the qualifications, and HR checks it for eligibility as vacancies occur. The selecting official may interview qualified applicants. If HR finds you inflated your experience or qualifications, you may be found not qualified, and incomplete packages receive an ineligible rating.

Tips for this job:

• Make your resume clear and specific, with dates, hours per week, and federal pay plan, series and grade for any federal jobs.
• Send your application to both NAVSUP-Civilian@us.navy.mil and daniel.e.mathews.civ@us.navy.mil, since faxes are not accepted.
• If you use education or a license, certificate or credential, include the transcript or copy of the document with your application.
