Specialized Experience (GS-11): To qualify, applicants must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade (GS-09) in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization. Specialized experience is defined as: Responsibility for database management software for analysis, reports and managing activities; demonstrating work experience using techniques for analyzing and measuring the effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of administrative and technical programs; tracking and analysis of assigned program areas; analyzing and preparing program status reports for internal and external use at all levels; planning, scheduling, and conducting studies/surveys; utilizing computer techniques for statistical purposes; and managing information systems.

Such education must demonstrate the competencies necessary to do the work. OR applicants may combine education and experience to qualify at the GS-11 level.

Then identify the percentage of required experience you possess. Add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify at the GS-11 level. For example, an applicant who has 54 semester hours of graduate level education (i.e. 50% of graduate education required) and 6 months of creditable specialized experience (i.e. 50% of the required experience) would equal 100% of the required experience for the position. Specialized Experience (GS-12): To qualify, applicants must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade (GS-11) in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization.
