It is the sole responsibility of the incumbent to determine how and where to file the appropriate state taxes. Your supervisor will be required to notify you at least two weeks in advance of any change in the duty station. Both duty stations are located within the Rest of the United States locality pay table, so there will be no change in pay between the two locations. Your duties will include: Provide direction to, information on, and orientation regarding services or activities of interest to the public. Serve as a front-line representative to greet customers and answer questions. Educate customers regarding rules, regulations, and safety concerns to gain compliance.

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-08/26/2024-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience.

For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected. EXPERIENCE: At least 6 months of general experience and 6 months of specialized obtained in either the public or private sectors. General experience is defined as any type of work that demonstrates the applicant's ability to perform the work of the position.

Education

To qualify based on education, you must submit a legible copy of transcripts from an accredited institution with your name, school name, credit hours, course level, major(s), and grade-point average or class ranking.
