SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTSGS-07:
A qualified candidate's resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-05) in the Federal service.
Specialized experience is defined as: (1) Assisting with the input of routine personnel actions into a human resources information system under direct supervision; (2) locating and retrieving information from established guidance, policies, or regulations to answer basic inquiries; and (3) providing general information to employees on common human resources programs such as health, life, retirement, and long term care.
You may substitute education for specialized experience as follows:
- One year of graduate-level education, or superior academic achievement (S.A.A.) gained in a bachelor degree curriculum that is qualifying for the position to be filled (based on class standing, grade-point average, or honor society membership). See the following link for more information: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-policies/#url=app -OR-
- Combination of education and experience as described above. Less than one year of specialized experience may be combined with completed graduate education.
A qualified candidate's resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-07) in the Federal service.
Specialized experience is defined as: (1) accepting and inputting personnel actions related to human resource programs into a human resources information system, (2) researching and following guidance, policy, regulation, and human resource plan information, and (3) providing counseling and options to internal employees on human resources programs such as health, life, retirement, and long term care programs.
You may substitute education for specialized experience as follows:
- Master's or equivalent graduate degree; or 2 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree; or a LL.B. or J.D. if related; your education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work. -OR-
- Combination of education and experience as described above. Less than one year of specialized experience may be combined with graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level (i.e., credit hours beyond the first year of full-time study may be credited). One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours the graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. If the graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study is not available, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) is used. When crediting education that requires specific course work the number of hours of related courses required, as a proportion of the total education, is prorated.
"Experience" refers to paid and unpaid experience. Examples of qualifying unpaid experience may include: volunteer work done through National Service programs (such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps); as well as work for other community-based philanthropic and social organizations. 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.
