You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
Your qualifications will be evaluated on the competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics) related to the position.
We will use a method called Category Rating to assess your application. Here's how it will work:
- You will answer job-related questions, which will measure your overall possession of the competencies or knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the job.
- If you meet the minimum qualifications and education requirements for this position, your application and responses to the job-related questions will be evaluated under Category Rating and Selection procedures for placement in one of the following categories:
- Well Qualified - for those who excel in the evaluation criteria
- Qualified - for those who only meet the minimum qualification requirements
The Category Rating Process does not add veterans' preference points or apply the "rule of three" but protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-preference eligibles within each category. Veterans' preference eligibles who meet the minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent will be listed in the highest quality category (except in the case of professional or scientific positions at the GS-09 level or higher).
Note: Pathways Student Intern candidates will meet the qualification requirement consistent with the OPM qualification standards applicable to the position being filled. Veterans' preference applies to selections made under the Pathways authority in accordance with Part 302 of 5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Candidates who meet the eligibility and qualification requirements need not be further evaluated.
