The total percentages must equal at least 100 percent to qualify.

2. Please select the one statement from the following list that best describes your level of specialized experience as it relates to this position for which you are applying.
Examples of various levels of specialized experience.

Not Answered
A. I have less than 1 year of specialized experience at any level.
B. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-5 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-5 level in the Federal Service). The GS-5 is typically an entry-level trainee or developmental level, characterized by work on a limited range of assignments under close supervision.
C. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-7 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-7 level in the Federal service). The GS-7 level is typically a junior level employee or advanced entry-level trainee. Work is less limited in scope than the GS-5, and is done more independently, but is still subject to close review and specific guidelines.
D. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-9 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-9 level in the Federal Service). The GS-9 is generally no longer a trainee level; the scope of work is narrower, and the level of supervision is closer than for a full journeyman, but the employee has considerable latitude in planning and carrying out work.
E. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-11 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-11 level in the Federal service). Work at the GS-11 typically involves a broad scope of responsibility, more variety, and less clear guidelines. Supervisory oversight generally consists of review of completed project to assure compliance with organization policies or regulations.
F. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-12 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-12 level in the Federal service). Work at the GS-12 level is typically full journey level for these administrative and managerial positions. Work at this level involves a wide range of assignments or a few highly complex assignments, and requires planning and organizing, setting priorities, and working without clear or specific guidelines. Work is typically reviewed only to assess impact on overall organizational objectives.
G. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-13 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-13 level in the Federal service). Work at the GS-13 level typically involves performing broad and comprehensive management studies that often cross functional and/or organizational lines. The work requires analysis of interrelated issues of effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of substantive mission-related programs, which are often complicated by conflicting program goals deriving from changes in legislative or changes in demands for program services. Work is typically reviewed only to assess impact on overall organizational objectives.
H. I have at least 1 year of specialized experience at the GS-14 level (or equivalent in difficulty and responsibility to the GS-14 level in the Federal service). Work at the GS-14 level is typically involves highly complex and challenging activities under the minimal direction of a manager or executive. Assignments typically involve expert knowledge to develop new and innovative approaches to problems or issues that often cross organizational boundaries and impact the accomplishment of Agency strategic objectives. Guidance is in the form of broad policies and work is typically reviewed only at completion for success in achieving planned results.
