Housing Management Specialist

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-12/23/2024-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 as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of specialized 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. 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-07 grade level, you must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least GS-05 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). Experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform successfully the duties of the position, and that is typically in or related to the work of the position to be filled.

You must include hours worked. -OR- EDUCATION: At least one full year of graduate education that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities in a related field such as business administration, economics, accounting, finance, governmental budgeting, or public administration. One year of graduate education is equivalent to 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours). You must provide transcripts. -OR- COMBINATION: I have a combination of directly related graduate education and experience. To compute, divide your total months of qualifying experience by 12. Then divide your semester hours (or equivalent) of education by 18 hours (or equivalent). Add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100% to qualify for this position. For example, 6 months of the specialized experience (50% of the qualifying experience) and 9 semester hours of graduate study from an accredited institution (50% of the qualifying education), equals 100% of the total specialized experience requirement. You must provide transcripts and include hours worked. -OR- SAA: I have a bachelor's degree in business administration, economics, accounting, finance, governmental budgeting, or public administration and meet one of the following Superior Academic Achievement provisions: (1) A grade-point average of B or better (a GPA 3.0 or higher out of a possible 4.0) for all completed undergraduate courses, or those completed in the last 2 years of undergraduate study; (2) A grade-point average of B+ or better (a GPA of 3.5 or higher out of a possible 4.0) for all courses in my major field of study, or those courses in my major completed in the last two years; (3) Rank in the upper one-third of my class in the college, university, or major subdivision; or (4) Membership in a national honor society (other than freshman honor societies) recognized by the Association of College Honor Societies.
