Federal employees who meet the definition of a "surplus" or "displaced" employee.
All U.S. Citizens - No prior federal service required.
This position does not have a positive education requirement. Therefore, no transcripts are required. However, if qualification is based on education, transcripts are required.
If you have received your education at a foreign college or university, you may use it to meet the education requirements as long as you can demonstrate that the foreign education is similar to that you would have received in an accredited educational institution in the United States. You must provide such evidence with your application. Find a list of accredited organizations recognized for interpreting foreign education credentials at www.naces.org/members.php.
You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
Our assessment process for these positions consists of two phases: a resume review and a competency-based assessment. During the resume review phase, subject matter experts evaluate your application against the specialized experience and selective placement factor statements for the grade level(s) you applied for. The experts only review the first five pages of your resume, so it is important to note relevant experience in that space. After the first phase, only applicants who clearly document experience equivalent to the specialized experience requirement will move to the competency-based assessment.
To be considered among the most qualified candidates, please ensure that you thoroughly document your KSAs, including the QRF, in your resume. SMEs can only evaluate applicants based on what is documented in their resume, so it is important to carefully review the requirements noted in the announcement prior to submitting your application.
Please review the full announcement on the USAID Careers Page to apply and for more information on the assessment process.
To apply for this position, you need to prepare a complete Application Package that includes a detailed resume that covers your name, dates of employment, hours worked per week, and duties performed. You should review "What should I include in my federal resume?" for guidance on developing an outstanding federal resume. Uploading a PDF copy of your resume is highly recommended. Additionally, your application package must include supporting documents such as a cover letter (optional), Veterans Preference Documentation (if applicable), and Schedule A Eligibility Letter (if you are applying as a Schedule A candidate).
Please review the full announcement on the USAID Careers Page for more details on how to apply and what supporting documents are required.
Education must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education in order for it to be credited towards qualifications. Therefore, provide only the attendance and/or degrees from schools accredited by accrediting institutions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Failure to provide all of the required information as stated in this vacancy announcement may result in an ineligible rating or may affect the overall rating.
