A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits.

Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered.

You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.

DO has partnered with the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service to provide certain personnel services to its organization. Fiscal Service's responsibilities include advertising vacancies, accepting and handling applications, and extending job offers.

Your application includes your resumé, responses to the online questions, and required supporting documents. Please be sure that your resumé includes detailed information to support your qualifications for this position; failure to provide sufficient evidence in your resumé may result in a "not qualified" determination.

THIS IS A TWO-PHASED PROCESS.

Phase 1: Your application will be evaluated in the following areas: Communication, Leadership, Qualifications, and Technical.

Category rating will be used to rank and select eligible candidates. Depending on your responses to the online questions regarding your qualifications, experience, education, and training related to this position, you will be assigned to one of three quality level categories, A, B, or C. Your rating may be lowered if your responses to the online questions are not supported by the education and/or experience described in your application. Your application may be reviewed by a Subject Matter Expert.

Phase 2: You will be given an exclusive link in the last question of this assessment to complete a manual assessment for Phase 2. Please be sure to allow sufficient time to complete the questions before the close date of the second announcement. Failure to complete the narrative questions will result in an incomplete application and no further consideration will be given. Your narrative responses will be rated and ranked by a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to determine your level of proficiency.

Veterans' preference is applied after applicants are assessed. Preference-eligibles will be listed at the top of their assigned category and considered before non-preference-eligibles in that category. Qualified preference-eligibles with a compensable service-connected disability of 10% or more will be listed at the top of the highest category.

Referral: If you are among the top qualified candidates, your application may be referred to a selecting official for consideration. You may be required to participate in a selection interview.

If you are a displaced or surplus Federal employee (eligible for the Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP)/Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP)) you must be assigned the middle category or better to be rated as "well qualified" to receive special selection priority.
