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). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document.

Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-13 grade level in the Federal service which includes: managing large IT programs, including system design, integration, upgrades, and ongoing support to meet organizational needs; overseeing the software development process from gathering requirements and designing systems to testing, quality control, and implementation; managing IT changes, system configurations, and support services while ensuring compliance with security rules, policies, and technical standards; planning and managing IT budgets, staffing, schedules, and risks; leading teams with different technical skills; and working with senior leaders, program managers, and contractors to meet project goals.
