Assessment 1
Applicants who indicate an incorrect or unsupported eligibility may lose consideration for this position.
ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS: Read all information before you begin your application to ensure you follow the instructions specific to this announcement. Information pertaining to qualifications, required documents and how to apply have recently changed.
Before you begin the Assessment Questionnaire, read the following information pertaining to the Eligibilities above (e.g., CTAP, Certain Military Spouses, ICTAP, Noncompetitive Referral, Promotion or VEOA). Your supporting documents must demonstrate the eligibility you choose or you may lose consideration for this position. If necessary, correct your claimed eligibility before you continue your application.
(1) Career Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) - do not choose this unless you have been (or are about to be) displaced from SSA due to a RIF. If you voluntarily left SSA (e.g., resigned, retired or transferred out), separated at the end of a temporary or term appointment OR were terminated for performance or conduct reasons you are not eligible under CTAP. For more information on CTAP-eligibility see http://www.opm.gov/rif/employee_guides/career_transition.asp.
(2) Certain Military Spouses - do not choose this unless you must meet the specific conditions described in https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/unique-hiring-paths/military-spouses) and you do not otherwise have federal status (current or former federal competitive service employees already have federal status). Eligible Military Spouses with federal status may choose this in conjunction with their federal status option, but must submit documents to support both eligibilities.
(3) Interagency Career Transition Assistance Program (ICTAP) - do not choose this unless you have been (or are about to be) displaced from a federal agency other than SSA. If you voluntarily left federal employment (e.g., resigned, retired or transferred out), separated at the end of a temporary or term appointment OR were terminated for performance or conduct reasons you are not eligible under ICTAP. For more information on ICTAP-eligibility see http://www.opm.gov/rif/employee_guides/career_transition.asp.
(4) Noncompetitive Referral - do not choose this unless you hold (or previously held) a permanent position at or above GS-13 (or other federal equivalent) OR you are eligible under your current Schedule A or a time-limited appointment for 30% or more disabled veterans. Applicants for reinstatement who previously held a position at or above GS-13 should choose this.
(5) Promotion - choose this if you currently hold a position below GS-13 (or other federal equivalent). Applicants for reinstatement who have never held a position at or above GS-13 should choose this. Applicants whose only eligibility is under VEOA should choose VEOA rather than Promotion.
(6) VEOA - choose this only if you are an eligible veteran and you do not otherwise have federal competitive status. Applicants who use VEOA as an eligibility do not receive preference points or other priority placement. Applicants with federal status who opt to file under VEOA gain no advantage and must still provide all documents to support their federal status.
See the REQUIRED DOCUMENTS section of the announcement for information on how to demonstrate your eligibility. Be sure the documents you submit provide sufficient information to validate the claim you made above or you may lose consideration (e.g., does your SF-50 show your grade and your type of service? Do you need to submit more than one SF-50 to demonstrate your claims? Do your SF-50s coincide with the positions described on your resume? Is your resume current and does it address the Specialized Experience required for this position? Is your USAJobs biographical data correct? Is your performance appraisal the most recent one - signed and dated within the previous 12 months?)
1.
I certify that I have read the information above and have claimed only the proper Eligibility.
2.
I understand that I must support my claimed Eligibility in accordance with instructions in the Required Documents section and that if I do not upload proper documentation I will not receive consideration for that claim.
3.
Indicate your federal status (read all options to ensure you choose correctly - use blocks 24 and 34 of your most recent SF-50 to assist in making your decision -- your evaluation is based, in part, on your response to this question - be sure you choose correctly -- you must support your claim with appropriate documentation or you will lose consideration for this vacancy):
Unless otherwise stated, performance appraisals must be submitted as part of your application. PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS must be for a period that ended less than a year ago, must be completed and signed and must indicate a rating of satisfactory or better. Do not substitute a 'Performance Plan.' VEOA-applicants and Military Spouses without federal status are not required to submit a federal performance appraisal.
4.
Indicate your most recent performance appraisal (read all options to ensure you choose correctly - your evaluation is based, in part, on your response to this question - be sure you choose correctly -- you must support your claim with appropriate documentation or you will lose consideration for this vacancy).
The remainder of this assessment pertains to your qualifications for this position. Answer yes or no to each question, as appropriate. Do not overstate your experience. Affirmative responses are subject to verification. Your resume must clearly demonstrate that you have the experience you claim. Your claimed experience must be specifically described in your resume.
You must have at least 52 weeks of *Specialized Experience as described below. This experience must have been gained in a federal position at or above GS-12 OR (if your position/experience is in another federal payscale or outside of federal service) by performing duties at a level equivalent to those performed in a federal position at or above GS-12. This specialized experience must have provided you with the specific knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the functions of this GS-1176-13 Building Manager position.
*Specialized Experience should primarily consist of directing, coordinating and/or overseeing building operations, maintenance, repair and improvement projects.
Duties should include managing building services activities designed to promote occupant comfort and safety; conducting interior and exterior inspections of building systems; identifying and resolving building operation needs (e.g., maintenance, repair, new construction or equipment), developing plans for minor repair and improvement projects; providing technical advice on building services contracts; writing specifications for construction, maintenance or custodial services contracts; applying knowledge of building management programs and procedures; recommending resources to devote to repair, alteration and maintenance projects and working in conjunction with the activities of contractors.
Duties of this nature should be typical of your everyday work. Your performance of duties relevant to the specialized experience must be clearly and specifically described in your resume. Experience from participation in a special project or workgroup is not creditable unless that experience equals 52 weeks at the required level. Work that is primarily related to performing building maintenance or office relocation functions is not creditable, unless it includes associated program management. If your experience is in a federal position, you must state the grade of that position in your resume.
You must be very specific in describing the duties you perform (or performed) at the required grade level. It is suggested that you list each position you've held separately (including the full start and stop dates for each position, your grade (if the position is or was federal) and the duties you perform or performed). SF-50s must coincide with the claims made on your resume. If your federal pay scale and grade level are not specified with your relevant federal experience you may be eliminated from further consideration. Likewise, if your experience was gained outside of federal employment, list each position separately (including the full dates you worked at each position and the duties you performed).
Performance of duties that do not meet the requirements of the Specialized Experience statement (above) will result in a rating of ineligible. If your experience is in a federal position, you must state the grade and pay scale of that position in your resume.
You cannot be credited for federal experience unless you clearly show your pay scale and grade level at the time the experience was gained, as well as the dates you were at each grade level.
Affirmative responses to the experience and eligibility questions in the online questionnaire are subject to verification.
