Do you qualify for GS-5?
With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at or above the GS-4 level. Specialized experience means work that builds the skills this job needs, such as supporting work in a retail grocery store, operating an electronic checkout system, or giving on-the-job training. Paid and unpaid work, military service, and volunteer work can count.
With education: Four full years of education above high school at an accredited school can qualify you instead of experience. You can also combine experience and education, using the percentage formula in the announcement. Transcripts are required if you use education.
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume of no more than two pages showing job titles, dates, hours worked per week, and duties
- Unofficial transcripts from accredited schools if you use education to qualify
- Copy of your most recent SF-50 showing your current position, if you are a current DeCA employee
- Documents listed for your eligibility on the DLA supporting documentation page
- Answers to the online assessment questionnaire
How you will be rated: You answer an online questionnaire about your experience, and your resume must support those answers. Applicants who meet basic qualifications are forwarded to the selecting official, who may interview by phone. Incomplete applications, overstated experience, or photos, social media links, or Social Security numbers on your resume can make you ineligible.
Tips for this job:
- Show the hours you worked per week for every job on your resume, or your application may be treated as incomplete.
