Government Job:
Government Job - Regular Full-time
Description: Like any other employer, the Federal Government expects its employees to be well qualified for the jobs they hold. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has published qualification standards to help assure that Federal employees can successfully and safely perform the work of the position. Whatever your background has been, the chances are that you are basically qualified for many different jobs, and highly qualified for some. For more information about your eligibility for specific occupations and grade levels, contact the office or person shown as the point of contact on the specific vacancy announcement advertising the job opportunity.
Experience: If you meet the basic eligibility requirements, the agency rates and ranks your work experience, accomplishments, education, training, and overall qualifications background against other qualified candidates. You will receive a score or ranking based on how closely your background matches and exceeds the requirements of the position. Job applicants who rank in the top category or who receive the highest scores are referred to the selecting official. Trades and Labor "blue collar" jobs have a separate qualification system from "white collar" positions. Applicants for the apprenticeship programs for the various trades must demonstrate the potential to succeed in the job and the ability to complete classroom and on-the-job training. If you are just starting out, you can qualify for jobs at the GS-2 level with just a high school diploma or as little as 3 months of general work experience for most clerical and assistant positions.
Education: Job applicants can qualify for most Federal occupations based on job related work experience. Some government occupations require a college degree with a certain major field of study or completion of specific academic courses at the baccalaureate or graduate level. Such occupations tend to involve research, scientific, professional, or medical work such as engineering, biology, psychology, medical technology, and accounting. To be acceptable, all college level courses must have been completed at a college or university that has obtained accreditation or pre-accreditation status from an accrediting body recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. If you have been in the job market for awhile and have accumulated an extensive work history, you may be well qualified for many positions even without a college degree.
