Requirements (Cont.): You may be required to travel overnight away from home up to 1-3 nights per month. You must obtain a government charge card for travel purposes. All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement 12/30/2024 unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected. To qualify for this position at the GS-7 grade level, you must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience comparable in scope and responsibility to the GS-1702-06 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). This experience includes activities such as: designing and presenting curriculum based educational and interpretive programs either in-person or virtual; assisting in planning, organizing, and presenting workshops for students, teachers, or other educators; conducting independent research to develop curriculum-based activities; and assisting with the development of curriculum-based school programs that conform to appropriate state and/or national teaching standards. This type of experience could have been obtained while working as a park ranger, teacher, teacher's aide, tour leader, camp counselor, or other similar work. You must include hours per week worked. -OR- EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least one year of graduate education (18 semester hours) in a field of study directly related to the work of the position such as Elementary Education, High School Education and/or Learning Design & Technology. You must include transcripts. -OR- Successful completion of a combination of education and experience as described above. To combine education and experience, first take the number of hours of graduate level education completed and divide by 18 or the number of hours of one year of graduate education. Then take the number of months of full-time experience and divide by 12 months. Add the percentages together. The total must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. You must include transcripts. 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 directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
