Do you qualify for GS-13?
With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the GS-13 level, which the announcement says is typical of GS-12 work.

With education: A bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited U.S. school is the basic education requirement. Education cannot replace experience for this job.

- Your resume must be two pages or less and show hours per week for each job, or it may be marked incomplete.
