Qualifying Experience:

To qualify at the GG-15 grade level, your resume must describe at least one year of experience that demonstrates the competencies necessary for immediate success in the position. Experience refers to any paid or unpaid experience, including volunteer work and Military service, that would be considered equivalent to work normally performed at the next lower grade level in the federal service. For this position, qualifying experience is defined as: Experience in IT program management that includes: (1) supervising and directing civilian and military personnel; (2) overseeing cybersecurity or information assurance engineering budgets, resource programming, and acquisitions; and (3) serving as an organization's designated technical expert on information systems security policy in high-level national or international forums.

Candidates must describe how they meet the qualifying experience and/or selective placement factor(s) within their resume. All qualifications must be met within 30 days after the closing date of this announcement.

Your resume MUST include the following information for each job listed: Job title; duties (be as detailed as possible); month & year start/end dates (e.g., June 2017 to April 2026); and full-time or part-time status (include hours worked per week). Read more about what you should include in your federal resume at USAJOBS.

Standard SF-50 Submission Requirement:

If you are a current or former Federal employee, you must submit your most recent non-award SF-50 (Notification of Personnel Action) to verify your eligibility.

Your submitted SF-50 must clearly show:

• Your tenure code (Block 24)

• Your type of service (competitive or excepted) (Block 34)

Do not submit an award SF-50 (e.g., Block 8 contiguous with code 840, 849, or cash awards), as these do not document tenure, position change, or highest grade held. Failure to submit a qualifying SF-50 will result in your application being marked as ineligible due to incomplete documentation.

Volunteer Experience: 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 to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
