You must submit a separate narrative statement that addresses each of the Mandatory Technical Qualifications (MTQs) related to this position as well as the Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) related to all positions in the Senior Executive Service.
Your narrative statements should include examples of experience, education, and accomplishments applicable to the qualification. Structure your statements in terms of the action taken, the context or environment in which the action was taken, and the outcome or results from such actions. You should write each statement with the vacancy in mind as all qualifications are directly related to the position being filled. Be sure to include appropriate training and awards when addressing your qualifications. Please limit your narrative statements to two pages per factor.
For further information and tips on writing effective narrative statements, see OPM's publication 'A Guide to SES Qualifications available on the OPM website at: http://www.opm.gov/ses/references/GuidetoSESQuals_2010.pdf .
If you do not submit a separate statement addressing these qualifications, you will not receive consideration for the position.
MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS (MTQs): You must address each technical qualification separately. You are required to respond to all technical qualifications. Failure to do so will result in an incomplete application and you will be rated as 'ineligible.' Applicants must reflect superior technical qualifications demonstrated through leadership and management in the following MTQs:
MTQ 1: Describe your experience leading teams and/or managing and developing a professional staff to achieve timely, effective, and high-quality results.
MTQ 2: Describe your experience communicating concisely and effectively with senior officials, both orally and in writing, particularly in support of policy processes that often involve short time frames and complex subjects that need effective summary and distillation to key decision points.
MTQ 3: Describe your experience independently and concurrently managing a large volume of complex issues and tasks; to coordinate and facilitate resolution of divergent views; to provide recommendations and technical edits to materials; and to schedule work so that deadlines are successfully met.
MTQ 4: Describe your experience utilizing the Privacy Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, the E-Government Act, Federal Information Security Modernization Act, and the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act.

They measure whether an individual has the broad executive skills needed to succeed in a variety of SES positions. Your narrative must address each ECQ separately and should contain one or two examples per ECQ describing your experiences and accomplishments/results. The narrative should be clear, concise, and emphasize your level of responsibility, scope and complexity of programs managed, program accomplishments, policy initiatives undertaken and the results of your actions. Applicants should not enter "Refer to Resume" to describe your experiences. Applications directing the reviewer to search within the application or to see the resume are considered incomplete and may not receive further consideration. The narrative must not exceed 10 pages.
Note: If you are a member of the SES or have been certified through successful participation in an OPM approved SES Candidate Development Program (SESCDP), or have SES reinstatement eligibility, you do not need to respond to the ECQs. Instead, you should attach proof (e.g., SF-50, Certificate of Completion of SESCDP) of your eligibility for appointment to the SES.
There are five ECQs:
ECQ 1: Leading Change - This core qualification involves the ability to bring about strategic change, both within and outside the organization, to meet organizational goals. Inherent to this ECQ is the ability to establish an organizational vision and to implement it in a continuously changing environment.
ECQ 2: Leading People - This core qualification involves the ability to lead people toward meeting the organization's vision, mission, and goals. Inherent to this ECQ is the ability to provide an inclusive workplace that fosters the development of others, facilitates cooperation and teamwork, and supports constructive resolution of conflicts.
ECQ 3: Results Driven - This core qualification involves the ability to meet organization goals and customer expectations. Inherent to this ECQ is the ability to make decisions that produce high-quality results by applying technical knowledge, analyzing problems, and calculating risks.
ECQ 4: Business Acumen - This core qualification involves the ability to manage human, financial, and information resources strategically.
ECQ 5: Building Coalitions - This core qualification involves the ability to build coalitions internally and with other Federal agencies, State and local governments, nonprofit and private sector organizations, foreign governments, or international organizations to achieve common goals.
