Application Questionnaire: Applicants must complete a training-and-experience-based questionnaire as part of the application process. Applicants identified as meeting minimum qualifications for the position move on to the next phase of the assessment process.
Your application will be evaluated and rated under the agency's Category Rating and Selection Procedures. Your application will then be placed in one of three categories:
- Best Qualified - applicants possessing experience that substantially exceeds the minimum qualifications of the position and who are highly proficient in all requirements of the job and can perform effectively in the position;
- Well Qualified - applicants possessing experience that meets the minimum qualifications of the position and who are proficient in some, but not all, of the requirements of the job;
- Qualified - applicants possessing experience that meets the minimum qualifications of the position.
The Category Rating Process does not add veteran's preference points but protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-preference eligibles within each category. Preference eligibles who meet the minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent must be listed in the highest quality category (except in the case of scientific or professional positions at the GS-9 level or higher). This position is not considered scientific/professional. Veteran preference eligibles will receive selection consideration before non-preference eligibles within each quality category.
Veterans' Preference: For more information on veterans' preference see http://www.fedshirevets.gov/.
Overstating your qualifications and/or experience in your application materials or application questionnaire may result in your removal from consideration. Cheating assessments may also result in your removal from consideration.
Selection process: Your application and assessment materials will be reviewed, and if you are found qualified, your application will be sent to the hiring managers of the participating agencies for review and possible interview. Participating agencies will make offers directly to applicants.
