Tips for a successful application process:
- Provide transcripts that document the degree requirements listed in the Qualifications section of the announcement for the series for which you are applying. Provide all relevant transcripts, not just your most recent one.
- Your resume cannot be longer than two pages. Due to new requirements, submitting a resume longer than two pages may result in you being determined ineligible.
- Document your relevant work experience through bullet points in your resume. Reflect the language used in the announcement where applicable (see Specialized Experience under Qualifications).
- Review and address Mandatory Technical Qualifications (MTQ) (under the Qualifications section) in your resume; documenting accomplishments and experience that addresses each MTQ separately.
- Your work experience bullet points should be tied to positions for which you list start and stop dates for employment as well as hour-per-week. This is how human resources staff determine whether your cumulative experience meets the work threshold (see Specialized Experience under Qualifications).
- In addition to the Specialized Experience requirements, ensure that your resume reflects your level of experience in the following competencies: Technical Skill, Problem Solving, Innovation, Strategic Thinking, and Research. See the Next steps section in the announcement for more information on Subject Matter Expert review.
