Your resume and work experience should clearly support your ability to meet these competencies and will be evaluated as part of the entire application process. Attention to Detail- experience reviewing my own information technology-related work or data and have been responsible for reviewing the work of others to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency with standards. Customer Service- developing and maintaining relationships with customers, anticipating and assessing the current and future information technology needs of customers, and developing or identifying information technology products or services that are tailored to meet customer needs.

I have anticipated information technology-related problems and have identified and evaluated potential sources of information to generate alternative solutions. In addition to the Basic Competency Requirements listed above, one year of specialized experience equivalent in level of difficulty and responsibility to that of the next lower grade GS-13 in the federal service, which demonstrates the ability to perform the duties of the position, is required. Specialized experience is defined as providing expert-level oversight and analysis for an organization's information technology systems projects during the entire project life cycle including planning and development, execution and evaluation of project performance using established qualitative and quantitative tools, techniques, and practices.

Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates to paid employment.
