If your 2-page resume does not reflect demonstrated evidence of the ECQs and TQ, you may not receive further consideration for the position. There are five ECQs:

ECQ 1: Commitment to the Rule of Law and the Principles of the American Founding – This core qualification requires a demonstrated knowledge of the American system of government, commitment to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, and commitment to serve the American people.
