Required Documents When Applying

RESUME: Your resume MUST contain specific information used to make a qualification determination that includes employment beginning and ending dates for each position, whether employment is Full-time or Part-time or average number of hours worked per week, and position titles.

The resume should show relevant experience and education as well as support the required specialized experience. Formatted resumes may be uploaded later in the application process. FEDERAL APPLICANTS: You must submit SF-50(s) that verify your highest competitive grade, full performance level, and eligibility as a federal applicant.

We recommend submitting your last promotion SF-50 or within-grade increase SF-50.
