Federal employment increased dramatically over the past two years compared to the private sector, where unemployment hovers in the high single digits. From October 2009 through June 2010, agencies hired 212,188 new hires. Total employment, including the Postal Service, was 2,850,280 as of September 2010.1 Many retirements are projected as each day 10,000 baby boomers turn age 65 for the next 19 years! Hiring will be driven by retirements and the need to staff over 100 new agencies and regulatory organizations due to the healthcare and banking legislation passed in 2010.

How You Will Be Evaluated
Your application will be evaluated and rated under the Category Rating and Selection procedures. Based on your responses to the job-specific self-assessment questions, eligible candidates are placed for selection consideration into one of three pre-defined quality categories as described below:
Highly-qualified Category – In addition to meeting minimum qualifications for the position, candidates must fully demonstrate proficiency in all major aspects of the position.
Well Qualified Category – In addition to meeting minimum qualifications, candidates must demonstrate proficiency in some, but not all of the major aspects of the position.
Qualified Category – In addition to meeting minimum qualifications, applicants must demonstrate a basic level of knowledge, skill and ability of the position.
Your qualifications will be evaluated on the following knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs) and other characteristics that are relevant to the duties of this position and must be fully supported by information in your resume:
- Knowledge of procurement and contracting functions;
- Ability to interpret procurement regulations and supply directives;
- Ability to identify supply sources and coordinate procurement and shipment activities;
- Ability to plan, coordinate and process service requests; and

Preference eligibles who meet minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent (i.e., CPS and CP) must be listed in the highest quality category, except when the position being filled is scientific or professional at the GS-09 grade level or higher.
