  • Receive and direct telephone calls and visitors.
  • Maintain files, purchase records, and inventory and sales records.
  • Produce documents and reports using word processing software.
  • Identify inventory variances and inform managers of needed corrective actions.

Do you qualify for NF-2?

How to apply well

What to send:

How you will be rated: Your application package is first checked to see if you meet the minimum qualifications. Your resume is then compared with your questionnaire answers to rate your level of experience, and you may lose consideration if you have overstated your qualifications or experience.

Tips for this job:

  • Describe your clerical and computer experience clearly on your resume, since volunteer and unpaid experience also counts.
  • If you qualify through education, include transcripts, and provide proof that foreign education is equivalent to a U.S. education.
