Do you qualify for GS-13?

With experience: To qualify at the GS-13 level, you need 1 year of experience at a level comparable to GS-12, in addition to the basic requirements.

With education: A bachelor's degree in pharmacy (BS Pharmacy) or a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from a pharmacy school accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Graduates of foreign pharmacy programs must show FPGEC certification, which includes passing the FPGEE and TOEFL iBT exams.

  • Copy of your current, active pharmacy license
  • SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference, or disability letters if they apply

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the listed qualifications, based on your questionnaire and documents. Errors or missing information may result in an ineligible rating or a lower overall rating, and the VA may verify your experience and check references.

Tips for this job:

  • Send a long-form resume or CV that clearly lists dates, hours per week, and duties for each job, especially supervisory work.
