The announcements open Wednesday, December 23, 2020 and will close on Friday, January 15, 2021.



Here are a few reminders to pass along to any interested applicants so they don't inadvertently disqualify themselves from further consideration:

·     If qualifying based on education, Applicants should submit copies of ALL UP TO DATE unofficial transcripts that include a degree conferred date. This is really important when they have attended multiple schools. Their current school does not always list out the transferred classes let alone the grades received.

·     If they have completed their degree requirements but their transcripts have not yet been updated, applicants may submit a letter from the school indicating that they have completed their degree requirements along with a copy of their most recent transcripts.

·     Resumes should also include a month and year, along with their relevant work experience underneath each period of employment.  Their resume should contain enough details regarding their work experience for us to determine whether they have the specialized experience or not.

·     If they have current or prior federal service, they should list the grade levels. If this is left out, it won't necessarily get them rated out, but it may help them get rated in easier. Submitting copies of their SF-50's showing their current grade and series is also helpful OR if they were previously in the series, they should submit those SF-50's too.

·     They MUST submit ALL required documentation prior to the announcement closing. All documents must be legible. They can always e-mail the contact person in the announcement to confirm that their documents have all been uploaded correctly. Sometimes the documents submitted are blurry and really hard to read, or the file is corrupt and we can't access their documents. We do NOT accept late documents.

·     Please Note: The ABOVE information and much more can be found on the HELP section of the USAjobs site. It goes more into detail regarding the federal hiring process, proper resume format and covers some of what I've listed above in more detail.    https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usajobs.gov%2FHelp%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cwmccausland%40usgs.gov%7C9938443d1e504146232808d8ab4fc0ad%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C637447706388452168%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=f5pVXOe07aUDsg%2FFVIgPnaAggwvlwbqQENU6ZJ88FWw%3D&reserved=0>
