DOCUMENTS PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED TO YOUR USAJOBS ACCOUNT MAY BE OUTDATED AND CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONSIDERATION.
RESUME - you must submit a resume (2 page maximum) that shows:
- your name and contact information
- relevant education
- employer name and position held
- full start and stop dates (month/day/year) for each position
- full-time or part-time hours worked per week
- your grade and pay scale (for federal positions) and
- a clear description of the duties you perform that relate to the experience required for this position.
If you no longer hold a position, it must show an ending date.
Since Specialized Experience has a time component, it must be evident that the duties you describe are at the required level for at least 52 weeks.
Do not simply list projects on which you worked or list experience in terms of accomplishments or achievements. You must describe, in your own words, the duties you perform that pertain to the requirements for this position.
Information not specifically stated in your resume cannot be assumed. Information copied or restated from the announcement or rating criteria will not be considered. If this occurs, you may be found ineligible.
If your qualifying experience is part of a federal career-ladder, separate your grade-relevant experience from duties performed at lower grades. Career-ladders described as a single position may not satisfy the requirement to demonstrate 52 weeks performing specific work at the required level.
TRANSCRIPT - see QUALIFICATIONS and EDUCATION sections for information on what you must demonstrate. **Since course titles do not always indicate that a course pertains to a creditable curriculum you are advised to highlight qualifying courses on your transcript to ensure that consideration is given.**
SF-50 - recommended for all current or former federal employees
ICTAP (Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan) - only applies to competitive service employees who have been displaced (RIF'd) from another federal agency. The duty station from which you were RIF'd must be in the local commuting area (i.e., 30-mile radius) of the duty station to which you are applying.
To demonstrate eligibility, ICTAP-applicants must provide:
- a copy of the separation SF-50 (Notice of Personnel Action) AND
- a copy of the RIF Notice*
- If the RIF Notice doesn't provide verification of your most recent Performance Appraisal, you must also provide a copy of that document to demonstrate that your final rating was at least 'fully successful.'
For more information see Career Transition (opm.gov)
Preference will be granted based on the documents received.
