Can you apply?
Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.
- Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.
The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. You must live within or be willing to relocate to a commutable distance of Gainesville, FL, because this is not a virtual job.

- Prepare, verify, and close out procurement documents and records.
- Maintain time and attendance records for staff.
- Process incoming and outgoing mail.
- File reports, correspondence, and records using alphabetical, numerical, or date systems.
Do you qualify for GS-5?
With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at least equal to the GS-4 grade level in federal service. Examples include coordinating meetings and appointments, preparing correspondence, screening calls and visitors, routing mail, and doing varied office administrative tasks.
With education: Four years of education above high school from an accredited business, secretarial or technical school, junior college, college, or university can qualify you instead of experience. You can also combine education beyond the second year with experience. Transcripts must be submitted or the education will not be credited.
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume of two pages or less, with contact information
- Resume showing job title, duties, month and year dates, and hours per week
- Transcript if you qualify through education
- DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
- SF-15 if you claim 10-point veterans' preference
- SF-50 or ICTAP/CTAP documents if they apply to you
How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications, your questionnaire answers, and a USA Hire online assessment that measures 13 general competencies, such as attention to detail and customer service. You must meet the assessment cut score to be considered, and overstating experience or cheating can get you removed.
Tips for this job:
- List job title, duties, month and year dates, and hours per week for every job, or the experience may not count.
- If you qualify through education, attach your transcript, because education cannot be credited without it.
- Keep your resume to two pages or less, since longer resumes make you ineligible.
