    How You Will Be Evaluated

    The job element method is used to match what you can do against what the work requires. You will be evaluated on the following job elements:

    • Dexterity and Safety
    • Interpret Instruction, Specification, etc.
    • Materials
    • Work Practices
    • Technical Practice
    This job has one critical element, called the screen-out element (SOE). The SOE addresses the critical knowledge, skill, and abilities essential to satisfactory job performance. Applicants who clearly fail to meet the lowest acceptable requirements in the SOE are rated ineligible and receive no further consideration.

    Application Review. We review your resume, required and supporting documents, and responses to the questionnaire to confirm your appointment eligibility, determine your qualifications, verify you meet the position requirements, and adjudicate any claimed preference (e.g., veterans', military spouse) or priority (e.g., ICTAP). If your application package lacks any of the information necessary to make these determinations, or the information is illegible, you may be ineligible for consideration. The score you receive is a measure of your demonstrated or potential ability to do the job and it determines the quality category to which you are assigned. The quality categories are:

    Best Qualified -Candidates who possess the type and quality of experience that substantially exceeds the position's minimum qualifications, including all selective placement factors and appropriate quality ranking factors.
    Highly Qualified - Candidates who possess the type and quality of experience that exceeds the position's minimum qualifications.
    Qualified- Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications and are proficient in some but not all of the position's requirements.


    Candidates in the best qualified category are referred to hiring managers before candidates in other categories. Within the best qualified category, candidates are referred in the following order: adjudicated veterans' preference candidates with 10-point preference, adjudicated veterans' preference candidates with other than 10-point preference, military spouse preference candidates, and candidates with no preference.

    Neither preference nor priority entitles you to a Federal job. You must apply, meet the qualification standards and all additional requirements, and submit all necessary documents. Military spouses must be in the best qualified group in order to receive military spouse preference.
