A. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to

at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 level or
equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility
requirements including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment,
minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement.
Creditable specialized experience includes:
GS-11: Preparing Job Opportunity Announcements and determining applicants' qualifications using OPM
Qualification Standards for Federal civilian positions; Facilitating mandatory placement programs such as the
Priority Placement Program and veterans' programs; Completing a full range of personnel actions relating to
Federal civilian staffing, Federal civilian recruitment and Federal civilian compensation.
B. Education Substitution: Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the
work. Education must be from a college or university accredited by an organization approved by the U.S. Department
of Education. See http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx. If using education to meet basic qualifications, YOU
MUST SUBMIT A TRANSCRIPT as supplemental documentation. To qualify based on education in lieu of
specialized experience, you must possess:
GS-11: A Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education
leading to such a degree.
C. Combination: Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used to
meet total qualification requirements and may be computed by first determining the applicant's total qualifying
experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; then determining the applicant's education
as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; and then adding the two percentages. The total
percentages must equal at least 100 percent to qualify an applicant for that grade level. Only graduate education in
excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants.
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). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
Education:
Are you using your education to qualify? You MUST provide transcripts or other documentation to support your educational claims. Unless otherwise stated: Unofficial transcripts are acceptable at time of application.
GRADUATE EDUCATION: One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours that your graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. Such study may have been performed on a full-time or part-time basis. If you cannot obtain your graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) should be considered as satisfying the requirement for one year of full-time graduate study.
FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show that the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
