SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

GS-11: A qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-09) in the Federal service. Specialized Experience for this position is defined as: Experience 1) using multiple financial accounting platforms (i.e. Asset Suite, People Soft, Access database, etc.) related to tracking budget expenditures for an organization; and 2) providing trend analysis of accounting details and work orders.

You may substitute education for specialized experience at the GS-11 as follows:

• Combination of education and experience as described above. Less than one year of specialized experience may be combined with graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level (i.e., credit hours beyond the first two years of full-time study may be credited). One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours the graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. If the graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study is not available, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) is used. When crediting education that requires specific course work the number of hours of related courses required, as a proportion of the total education, is prorated.
