Qualifications

While no specific length of time or experience is required, you must meet any screen-out elements and demonstrate through experience and training that you possess the necessary knowledge and skill to perform the duties at the level for which you are applying. Emphasis is placed on the quality of experience rather than the length of time. Applicants who do not meet the screen-out element will be eliminated from further competition.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social).
