Qualifications

Who May Apply: US Citizens In order to qualify, you must meet the education and/or experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document. GS-11 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes: (1) Analyzing financial data to identify trends and potential issues; (2) Monitoring budget execution to ensure adherence to approved plans; (3) Preparing financial reports for internal review; (4) Assisting in developing budget submissions and documentation; and (5) Providing budget guidance and/or information to supervisors for decision-making. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-09). OR Education: Ph.D or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position. OR Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the first year (total graduate semester hours minus 18) by 18. Add the two percentages. GS-12 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes: (1) Reviewing and/or interpret budget guidance to develop budgets for assigned programs; (2) Monitoring and/or evaluating budget execution to ensure compliance with approved budgets; (3) Preparing financial statements and/or report to inform command decision-making; and (4) Providing guidance to subordinate commands to resolve conflicting budgetary and program objectives. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-11.) Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For the GS-12 level, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.
