Who can apply: The public, Veterans.

The job is open to the public, but applicants must be U.S. citizens or nationals, and the agency clarifies that all U.S. citizens may apply. Veterans and some of their family members may be eligible for veterans' preference, and the job is also open to several special groups, such as current federal employees and military spouses.

Experience: You need at least 1 year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level. Specialized experience means work similar to the job's core tasks, such as managing a records program, guiding staff on records practices, conducting records inventories, or maintaining file plans and retention schedules.

Education: The announcement does not list a required degree. If you rely on education, the school must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

4 After you apply

In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.

For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.

If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Clearly describe your specialized experience in your resume, or your application may not be considered.
Keep your resume to two pages or less, because longer resumes are ruled ineligible.
