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.<br>
<br>
We will review your resume, optional cover letter and
supporting documentation to determine if you meet the minimum
qualifications for the position. If you meet the minimum
qualifications stated in the vacancy announcement, we will
compare your resume, optional cover letter and supporting
documentation to your responses on the scored occupational
questionnaire (True/False, Yes/No, Multiple Choice questions)
and place you in one of the three pre-defined categories. The
categories are “gold”, “silver” and “bronze”. However, your
resume or optional cover letter must support your responses to
the scored occupational questionnaire, or your score may be
lowered. Candidates place in the “gold” category will be
identified for referral to the hiring manager and may be
invited for an interview.<br>
<br>
How you will be evaluated for preference eligibility: Within
each category, those entitled to veterans’ preference will be
listed at the top of the pre-defined category for which they
are placed. Preference eligible with a service-connected
disability of 10% or more will be listed at the top of the
highest quality category (gold) depending on the position and
grade level of the job. For more information on Category
